First Picture Leaked | Neymar Has Actually Shown Off The Next-Gen Nike Magista Obra 2016 Boots
Dec 11, 2015, by Chris
Update 11/12/15: The first close-up pictures of the next-gen Nike Magista Obra Boots have been leaked. It's now pretty much confirmed that Neymar trained in a blackout version of the second-gen Nike Magista Obra Boot.
Has FC Barcelona superstar already shown off the second generation of the Nike Magista Obra Football Boots on the quiet?. While no high-profile Nike Magista players were spotted wearing the much-awaited next-gen Nike Magista Obra Cleats yet, it could have been FC Barcelona's striker who gave us the the world's first look at the Nike Magista 2.
Neymar, who is the face of the Nike Hypervenom silo despite the fact that he is wearing a camouflaged version of the boots, laced up in the remarkable blackout boots in three FC Barcelona training sessions in August 2015. And as we had not idea what exactly Neymar was wearing at that time, we labeled Neymar's Boots as 'Completely Modified Nike Hybrid Boots'. But now we received new info and are almost 100% certain that Neymar has been actually wearing a blackout version of the next-gen Nike Magista Obra Cleats. Let's get straight into what is more than likely the Nike Magista Obra 2.
Neymar Reveals Next-Gen Nike Magista Obra 2 2016 Football Boots
Close-up pictures of the blackout Nike Magista Obra 2016 Cleats.
Again made for ultimate ball control, the next-gen Nike Magista Obra 2016 Soccer Boots most remarkably come with a Honeycomb upper structure that reminds us of the upper used for the first generation of the Nike Hypervenom Boots. Compared to the upper of the first-gen Nike Hypervenom Cleats, the Honeycomb material used for the next-gen Nike Magista Obra seems to be even softer while being not as thin as the one used for the first-gen Hypervenom.
Nike again combines the upper of the Nike Magista Obra Boots with their trademark Dynamic Fit collar and a tongue-less design to offer a sock-like feel with no distractions. It's also logical that the next-gen Nike Magista Obra 2 Cleats will again feature Nike Flyknit.
While the upper of the boots worn by Neymar is expected to be almost identical to the final version of the next-gen Nike Magista Obra Boots, it's not possible to say something about the outsole design yet as Neymar received a modified version with the sole plate of the Nike Tiempo. However, it's expected that the next-gen Nike Magista Obra 2016 Boot will again feature conical studs for rotational agility.
And while the exact tech details of the Nike Magista Obra 2 Boots remain a secret to now, we already revealed that the second-gen Nike Magista Obra Boots will be launched after the Euro 2016 in France (July 2016).
So it looks like that we have already seen the next-gen Nike Magista Obra four months ago without knowing it. What's your verdict on the boots after knowing that they are more than likely the next-gen Nike Magista Obra? Let us know in the comments below.

Produced under the club's own label as is tradition for domestic competitions, the shirt utilizes a very dark navy base covered with subtle geometric cross motifs, complemented by light pink accents across the buttoned collar, monochrome crest, and sponsor graphics. The release has sparked debate among supporters and collectors, as Buriram's 26-27 home kit also relies on a dark navy template, differing primarily by pairing it with coral detailing rather than pink.
Clermont Foot 63 26-27 Third Kit Released
French Ligue 2 club Clermont Foot 63 and Italian brand Kappa have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. Deeply rooted in regional pride, the new strip draws inspiration from the distinctive dark Volvic volcanic stone (pierre de Volvic) that defines much of Clermont-Ferrand's historic architecture.
The Kappa Clermont Foot 63 26-27 third jersey features a charcoal base covered in an elaborate line-art illustration across the front. The design incorporates several key regional landmarks and cultural symbols, including the Puy de Dôme volcano, the iconic twin spires of Clermont-Ferrand Cathedral, the Stade Gabriel-Montpied, a football marked with the department number 63, and the traditional Auvergnat gonfanon. Off-white trim on the collar and sleeve cuffs complements the monochrome cream club crest, Kappa Omini emblems, and CA Centre France chest sponsorship.

The Macron Hoffenheim 26-27 Euro shirt comes in a dark navy blue base overlaid with an eye-catching graphic pattern. Inspired by the stag antlers found in the historic coat of arms of Hoffenheim, the motif is reinterpreted in purple and blended with irregular vertical brushstrokes in blue and purple. According to the brand, this aesthetic synthesizes the visual themes and color palettes seen across Hoffenheim's 26-27 home, away, and third shirts.
Contrasting white details are used on the collar, sleeve cuffs, and along the raglan sleeve seams.

The Erreà AS Cittadella 26-27 third shirt combines a predominantly black base with an irregular, lived-in texture that mimics the surface of ancient stone. A striking mix of purple, aqua green, and granata accents enlivens the textured graphic across the front, back, and sleeves. The club's crest is rendered in vibrant aqua green embroidery on the chest, complemented by matching Erreà branding and sponsor detailing, while the club's founding year, 1973, is stitched onto the upper back.

Isco Makes Champions League History With Fifth Different Spanish Club
Real Betis captain Isco made European history during his side's return to the UEFA Champions League, inspiring Los Verdiblancos to an exciting 3-2 away victory against Lille. By taking the pitch in Betis' opening fixture, the veteran playmaker became the first footballer in history to appear in the Champions League with five different Spanish clubs, having previously featured in the competition for Valencia, Málaga, Real Madrid, and Sevilla.
Beyond his unique journey across Spanish football, Isco enters the 26-27 campaign holding an unmatched distinction: no active player in this season's competition has won more Champions League titles. The midfielder lifted Europe's most coveted trophy five times during his spell with Real Madrid, triumphing in 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2022. Betis qualified for the Champions League for the first time in 21 years, and their talisman marked the milestone occasion in style by registering an assist in France to cement his enduring European pedigree.
