Totally New Puma evoTOUCH 2016-2017 Boots Released
Jul 11, 2016, by Chris
The all-new Puma evoTOUCH 2016-2017 Football Boots are the first-ever high-cut boot from Puma, officially released today for the start of the 2016-17 season. Made for ultimate ball control, the Puma evoTOUCH 2016 Soccer Cleats combine a Kangaroo Leather upper with the high-cut collar concept that was introduced by Nike ahead of the 2014 World Cup.
Headlined by Chelsea's Cesc Fàbregas and Paris Saint-Germain's Marco Verratti, the all-new Puma evoTOUCH are Puma's fourth top-tier silo, joining the Puma evoPOWER (Power), Puma evoSPEED (Speed) and Puma King (Modern Heritage - no 'superstar' on-pitch support).
PUMA's Spanish midfield maestro Cesc Fàbregas said; "PUMA evoTOUCH is a great boot for my style of play, the connection and touch with the ball is very impressive which is important for maximum control on the ball. I’m impressed with the boot from the testing I have done and looking forward to getting back on-pitch and kicking of the new season with evoTOUCH."
Puma evoTOUCH PRO Black / White / Safety Yellow
This is the launch paint job of the all-new Puma evoTOUCH Cleats.
Using the classic main color black for the K-leather upper and eye-catching 'Safety Yellow' for the brand-new sock-like design, the launch colorway of the Puma evoTOUCH 2016-2017 Boots is designed to mirror the concept of the boot. That is is to merge a Kangaroo leather upper (traditional) with a high-angle collar and no tongue (cutting-edge).
Whereas the Puma evoSPEED Boot boasts a striking Puma writing on the instep, the Puma evoTOUCH 2016-2017 Soccer Cleat comes with the classic branding of Puma football boots on the instep and the outstep. On the 'tongue' of the boots is the evoTOUCH branding, while a triangular pattern seen amongst others on the heel tab is the new distinctive mark of the silo. But now let's get into the tech details of the Puma evoTOUCH 2016-2017 Boots.
The Puma evoTOUCH PRO 2016 Boots combine a 'K-Touch' upper with an all-new 'evoKNIT' sock to 'mark a revolution in the field of leather football boots'. However, the whole concept is actually almost identical to the one of the Nike Magista Obra K-Leather Tech Craft Pack Boots.
The soft premium and ultra-thin Kangaroo leather upper (0.9 mm thin) offers ultimate ball control, combined with the new evoKNIT sock for a barefoot like feel and comfort. Most remarkably, Puma introduces GripTex for the inner sole and the heel tape. What's the aim of GripTex in these areas?
The internal GripTex technology is designed to ensure optimal grip and avoid slipping inside the shoe (This is actually almost identical to the concept of TruSox). Thanks to the evoKNIT sock 360° approach, the Puma evoTOUCH PRO Boots can be also worn barefoot.
The lightweight TPU outsole of the Puma evoTOUCH 2016 Boot features conical studs for rotational agility and SpeedTrack spine for enhanced reactivity and torsional stability.
The Puma evoSPEED Pro Football Boots weigh in at exactly 212 gram, which makes them about as heavy as the Nike Magista Obra Leather Boot. The best version of the Puma evoTOUCH will be called 'Puma evoTOUCH Pro', while the lower-tier models will be called Puma evoTOUCH 1, evoTOUCH 2 and evoTOUCH 3.
The Black, White and Safety Yellow Puma evoTOUCH 2016 Soccer Boots retail at a price of 250 Euro (250 USD, 185 GBP).

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.

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.
