Wilfried Bony to Leave Nike? Man City Striker Laces Up In Unique Blacked-Out Boots
Dec 5, 2015, by Chris
Is Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony set to leave the Swoosh? The 26-year old Ivory Coast international today again laced up in a unique blacked-out pair of the Nike Mercurial Vapor X Boots in the Premier League clash against Stoke City after he already debuted the one-of-a-kind blackout cleats against Hull City on December 1.
Wilfried Bony has been wearing Nike Boots for almost his entire career, while he is especially famous for blacking out his boots. Therefore, the boots of the Man City striker have been part of countless boot spottings over the past few years.
Wilfried Bony's Latest Blackout Boots

Based on what looks like the Wolf Grey version of the Nike Mercurial Vapor 10 Boots, Wilfried Bony manually painted over his boots to hide any visible brandings. And while he covered the entire upper of his one-of-a-kind cleats with black Edding, the sole of his boots boasts the striking color Hyper Pink of the regular edition of the boots.
Interestingly, while the blackout look of Bony's Boots was almost perfect in the match against Hull City on Tuesday, the first parts of the black color already have came off since then, creating a truly unique looking boot that stood out from all other boots on the pitch (if there wouldn't be David Silva's Blackout Next-gen Adidas Ace 16.1 Boot...).
Do you think that Bony could really leave the Swoosh? Let us know in the comments below.

Nike to Sell Long-Sleeve Besiktas Kits From 27-28 Season
Nike is set to introduce commercially available long-sleeve kits for Beşiktaş starting from the 27-28 season. Following the club's major switch from Adidas after 17 years, supporters will finally have direct access to official long-sleeve match jerseys at retail. Big thanks to @ertansuzgun & @Formaholic.
The timing aligns with significant milestone celebrations in Istanbul, as Nike is also planning a special 125th-anniversary collection for Beşiktaş during the 27-28 campaign to mark the club's foundation in 1903. Rather than relying on base layers and compression undershirts, players and fans alike will see dedicated long-sleeve designs included in the lineup.
The development forms part of Nike's wider strategy to bring back commercial long-sleeve authentic shirts across its elite roster from 27-28 onwards. By expanding long-sleeve availability to Beşiktaş, Nike closes the gap on rivals like Adidas and provides the Black Eagles with full top-tier treatment under their new partnership.
