Next-Gen Adidas Ace Primeknit 2016 Boots Released
Jan 25, 2016, by Chris
The Solar Green Adidas Ace Primeknit 2016 Soccer Cleats introduce a bold design for the second generation of the Adidas Ace Primeknit Boots, released on January 25, 2016, and headlined by Real Madrid's James Rodriguez.
In January 2016, Adidas is already revealing the second generation of the Adidas Ace Football Shoes. And while the first generation of the Adidas Ace Boots was launched with just two different versions, the second-gen Adidas Ace Football Boots will be available in four different top-tier editions (synthetic Adidas Ace 16.1, leather Adidas Ace 16.1, Adidas Ace 16+ Primeknit, Adidas Ace PureControl).
Adidas Ace 16+ Primeknit Solar Green / Shock Pink / Core Black
This is the first colorway of the Adidas Ace 16+ Primeknit Boots.
Combining the main color Solar Green with contrasting black and Shock Pink brandings, the launch colorway of the Adidas Ace 2016 Primeknit Cleats is designed to make a bold statement. Compared to the previous generation of the Adidas Ace Boots, the next-gen Adidas Ace Primeknit Boot features a much more remarkable design that is dominated by the bold Three Stripes on the upper.
The inner sole of the Solar Green Adidas Ace 2016 Primeknit Boot is black with flashy Shock Pink brandings, while the sole plate is mainly green with transparent studs that feature pink details.
The next-gen Adidas Ace 2016 Primeknit Boots have an one-piece knitted upper that is combined with a high-ankle collar and a tongue-less design for ultimate comfort and ball control. The techfit collar that wraps around the ankle is slightly higher than the collar used for the first generation of the silo.
The Adidas Ace 16+ Primeknit Boot features a wide fit for increased comfort and a totally new outsole that has nothing in common with the AG /FG Hybrid sole plate introduced for the first-gen Adidas Ace. The all-new sole plate of the next-gen Adidas Ace 2016 Primeknit comes with a traditional stud configuration. Interestingly, whereas the synthetic version of the next-gen Adidas Ace Boots also introduces an external heel counter, the knitted Primeknit version comes without the element that is made for more stability.
Retailing at the same price as the first-gen Adidas Ace Primeknit Boots (250 USD, 250 Euro, 185 GBP), the next-gen Adidas Ace 16+ Primeknit Boot will be launched in early January 2016 and will be available at selected retailers from February 1.
"We're the leaders in football innovation for a reason and that's easy to see in the Ace 16.1 Primeknit. We've created a boot unlike anything else on the market, a boot that offers unrivalled comfort, support and a new expression of the adidas design DNA," said Sam Handy, Vice President of Design for adidas Football.

Venezia and Rapid Wien Release Special Collaborative Kit
Venezia FC and SK Rapid have unveiled two special limited-edition jerseys to celebrate the 26th anniversary of the historic friendship between their supporters and clubs. The twinning, which officially traces back to January 15, 2000, was commemorated on the pitch during an international friendly at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, with both sides wearing the bespoke designs.
The collaboration includes two distinct shirts designed in close cooperation with the fan groups. The black Unione jersey features an all-over diamond jacquard pattern, complemented by Venezia's orange and green checkerboard on the right shoulder and Rapid's green and white stripes on the left. The white Unione shirt presents a split look blending green and orange accents with line illustrations of iconic architectural landmarks from both Venice and Vienna, including the Doge's Palace and St. Stephen's Cathedral. Both designs place the lion of Saint Mark and the Austrian eagle crests side by side above the date 15.01.2000.
During the friendly match on the Venetian lagoon, the hosts wore the black kit while Rapid took to the pitch in the white version, with Venezia edging a 1-0 victory. The limited-edition jerseys have been made available to supporters through Venezia's official online store and physical club shops.
Unique Jordan PSG 26-27 Third Goalkeeper Kit Leaked - Inspired by Bernard Lama
The striking new goalkeeper jersey from the upcoming Paris Saint-Germain x Jordan third collection has leaked courtesy of PSG insider @lasource75006. Scheduled to drop in the coming weeks alongside the club's 26-27 third player kit, the long-sleeve piece pays direct homage to iconic former Paris Saint-Germain shot-stopper Bernard Lama.
The Jordan PSG 26-27 third goalkeeper shirt draws inspiration from the distinctive Nike template worn by Lama during the 1997-98 season. It features a vibrant red base with sharp black vertical stripes tapering upward from the lower hem. The long sleeves are adorned with dynamic graphic streaks in shades of purple, blue, and black, perfectly channeling the flamboyant goalkeeper aesthetics of the late 1990s.
Gold detailing rounds off the design, highlighted by a centrally aligned Jordan Jumpman sitting above a monochrome Paris Saint-Germain crest and the Qatar Airways chest sponsor.
Neuchâtel Xamax 26-27 Fête des Vendanges Special Kit Released
Swiss Challenge League side Neuchâtel Xamax and technical partner Capelli Sport have officially released a special-edition kit for the 2026 Fête des Vendanges, Neuchâtel's iconic annual wine harvest festival. The bespoke design pays tribute to a historic local milestone, commemorating the 750th anniversary of the consecration of the Collegiate Church of Neuchâtel (Collégiale de Neuchâtel), which took place in 1276.
The Capelli Neuchâtel Xamax 26-27 Fête des Vendanges shirt arrives in a sharp black and silver colorway, covered in intricate architectural illustrations of the famous landmark. The front of the jersey features repeating linework depicting the church's Gothic arches, towers, and rose windows, flowing into detailed clock faces and decorative borders around the lower hem. Finished with matching ornate patterns along the collar and cuffs, all sponsor and club logos are rendered in monochrome silver
Montenegro 2026 Home & Away Kits Released
Italian sportswear brand Legea has rolled out the new home and away kits for the Montenegro national football team. The long-standing partnership between Legea and the Football Association of Montenegro continues with a fresh set of bespoke designs showcased on display mannequins.
The new Montenegro 2026 home kit is predominantly red, accented with two prominent yellow vertical stripes running down the front of the jersey. In line with the central design focus, the white Legea wordmark and the national federation crest sit centrally on the chest above yellow squad numbering. The strip is rounded off with red shorts featuring yellow detailing and matching red socks.
The 2026 away kit adopts an inverted approach on a clean white base. It features a bold central vertical band in red, neatly outlined by thin yellow borders that run from the collar down to the hem. The Legea logo, national team crest, and front numbers are all aligned inside the central red stripe, completed by white shorts and white socks with subtle red and yellow trims.
