Solar Gold Adidas X 15.1 Boots Released - First 2016 Colorway
Jan 25, 2016, by Chris
The yellow, black and pink Adidas X 2016 Football Boots introduce a bold design for the 10th colorway of the Adidas Chaos Boots. Released in late January 2016, the new paint job was already worn by number of players, including Luis Suárez, in last weekend's league matches.
Players such as Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema, Arjen Robben, Ángel Di Maria and Marcelo will switch to to the striking Solar Gold, Black and Shock Pink Adidas X 2016 Cleats paint job in early 2016, even though some of them will very likely opt for other versions than the synthetic one.
Adidas X 15.1 Solar Gold / Black / Shock Pink
This is the first Adidas X 2016 Football Boots Colorway.
Combining the main color Solar Gold with black and pink applications, the new yellow Adidas X 2016 Cleat is designed to make a bold statement on the pitch. The black and pink X-cage of the first Adidas X 2016 Cleats breaks up the clean look of the upper. It's the first time that a Men's version of the Adidas X Boots features a bold color gradient design for the X-cage, whereas previous boots came with a solid color for the stability element.
Adidas combines the yellow boot with a contrasting black techfit collar and sole plate, a black Adidas Performance logo on the heel area and a pink X branding on the tongue.
Performance-wise, it's only logical that the first Adidas X 2016 Boot paint job offers the same features as all previous colorways and special editions of the synthetic version of the Adidas X. The Adidas X 2016 Boot features a lightweight and ultra-thin synthetic upper, combined with a X-cage for more stability and a techfit collar for a sock-like feel.
The Solar Gold Adidas X 2016 Soccer Boots retails at 200 USD (210 Euro, 160 GBP) and will be available as FG / AG (Firm Ground) and SG (Soft Ground) from February 2016, while Adidas will also offer a separate AG (Artificial Grass) version for the first time.
Bold as bold can be. What do you think of the first Adidas X 2016 Boots Colorway? Let us know in the comments below, and also check out the all-new Adidas line-up for 2016 in our Boot Calendar.
Special Virgil van Dijk x Patta Jersey Revealed
Amsterdam streetwear label Patta has teamed up with Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk and Nike to unveil a vibrant, one-off football jersey for the Virgil's Legacy Trophy. The international under-13 tournament, founded by the Liverpool defender in collaboration with his formative club Willem II, brings together 16 elite youth academies from across Europe to compete in Tilburg.
The shirt draws deep inspiration from Van Dijk's Surinamese heritage, taking stylistic cues from traditional pangi cloth, a brightly patterned woven textile central to Maroon and Surinamese culture. The design ingeniously weaves together the primary colors of every participating club, including Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, PSG, Ajax, and AC Milan, translating their identities into an eye-catching, blurred check motif across the entire shirt.
The reverse lists the complete roster of competing clubs under "The class of '26," complemented by a custom Patta x Nike co-branded jock tag on the lower hem.
The bespoke jersey has been created exclusively for the young players taking part in the tournament as a commemorative keepsake rather than receiving a general retail release.

First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves. Excluding special-edition kits, the German strike became the first Bianconeri player made this choice since Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio back in the 13-14 season.
Remarkably, even Cristiano Ronaldo, a long-sleeve icon, never wore one during his time in Turin.
