Isco Back in Hypervenoms Ahead of El Clásico
It seems that Isco's switch to the Nike Mercurial Vapor isn't quite a done deal yet, following the player's training outings in the week building up to El Clásico.
After the Real Madrid playmaker debuted the Squadron Blue Nike Mercurial Vapor X football boots in the Champions League last month, he was seen wearing non-modified Nike Hypervenom Phinish cleats in training this week.
Isco Trains in Nike Hypervenom Phinish Boots
The Nike Hypervenom Phinish soccer cleats worn by Isco Alarcón in this week's Real Madrid training sessions appear to be the standard model without extensive modifications.
Whereas Barcelona star Neymar has received camouflaged Mercurial Vapor boots that only looks like Hypervenoms, Isco's new boots feature all the characteristics of the default version. This is evidenced by close-ups of the noticeably molded upper and the agility sole plate.
Isco's 'boot saga' started when the player, who originally sported the top-tier Nike Hypervenom Phantom II since the start of the season, began to wear modified boots with the trademark Dynamic Fit collar simply cut off. He later switched to the low-cut Nike Hypervenom Phinish and even later to the totally different Nike Mercurial Vapor X.
Hypervenom or Mercurial? Which boot better fits Isco's playing style in your opinion? Let us know in the comments below.

Crewe Alexandra 26-27 Home Kit Released
English fourth division side Crewe Alexandra have officially released their new home kit for the upcoming 2026-2027 season.
The Crewe Alexandra 26-27 2026-2027 jersey is anchored by the club's traditional red base, which is elevated this year by a subtle, tonal geometric pattern consisting of interlocking diamond shapes woven directly into the front fabric.
Adding contrast to the red foundation, the Puma design incorporates distinct white panels under the arms and down the sides of the shirt. Further detailing is provided by dark navy blue accents, which are utilized on the sleeve cuffs and the modern collar insert. To maintain a cohesive look across the chest, the Puma cat logo, the Crewe Alexandra club crest, and the central Whitby Morrison Ice Cream Vans sponsor graphic are all applied in a crisp, monochrome white.
Template-wise, the Crewe Alexandra 2026-2027 home shirt is based on a stripped down version of the Portugal 2026 shirt, called Puma Teamfinal 26.
The Crewe Alexandra 26-27 home kit is available from Saturday.
