Tomoaki Makino's Extraordinary Boot Combo
Nov 24, 2015, by Chris
Tomoaki Makino has done it again. After the Japanese international previously mixed up the Solar Red Adidas F50 Adizero with the White Adidas F50 Adizero, he now has laced up in another one-of-a-kind boot combo. And while everything already seems to be obvious at first glance, there is even more special about Tomoaki Makino's Boots.
Tomoaki Makino Mixes Solar Red and Solar Blue Adidas X Boots
Close-up picture of Tomoaki Makino's Unique Boot Combo.
It's obvious that Tomoaki Makino has chosen to the mix up the Solar Red Adidas X Boots Colorway (right shoe) with the Solar Blue paint job of the same silo (left shoe). But if we take a closer look at his boots, there is something that does not fit. So what's really special about his boots?
Further close-up pictures reveal hat Tomoaki Makino is not wearing the regular edition of the Adidas X 15.1 Cleats, but a version without the techfit collar in the ankle area. While it remains open if he manually removed the collar from his Adidas X Boots or received his pair directly from Adidas, there seem to be no further modifications done to his boots.
Definitely outstanding. What do you think of Tomoaki Makino's one-of-a-kind boot combo? Let us know in the comments below, and also check out Christoph Kramer's odd boot mix worn some weeks ago.

All branding, including the Nike Swoosh, monochrome Brann crest, and sponsor logos, is applied in a contrasting bright pink.
On the back, the jersey includes the inscription "For Bergen" in gothic lettering just below the collar, symbolizing the pride of representing the city on away trips. The new third uniform completes Brann Kvinner's 26-27 wardrobe alongside their traditional red home and dark away kits.
Special Club América 26-27 Kit Font Released
Club América has unveiled a special commemorative kit font for the 26-27 season, celebrating Mexican Independence Day and the club's marquee Clásico matches throughout September. The bespoke nameset replaces the regular squad typography on the back of Las Águilas' primary yellow home shirt, adopting the iconic green, white, and red of the Mexican flag.
The custom numbers feature a deep green base detailed with thin white vertical pinstripes. Embedded along the vertical lines are historic commemorative inscriptions, including the club name, the date "16 - 09 - 1810" marking the start of the Mexican War of Independence, and "INDEPENDENCIA DE MÉXICO". The player names above are rendered in vibrant red with a clean white outline.
To complete the patriotic design, each numeral incorporates a geometric red and cream 3D shadow effect, alongside Club América's crest placed at the base of every digit. The special typography delivers a unique cultural tribute, adding extra identity to the squad's jerseys during one of the most important periods of the Mexican football calendar.
