Arturo Vidal Trains in Unique Next-Gen Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots
Jan 28, 2016, by Chris
FC Bayern Munich midfielder Arturo Vidal has become the next player to train in the next-gen Nike Mercurial Superfly 2016-2017 Football Boots after various players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Claudio Marchisio and Jesé Rodríguez were already spotted wearing the next-gen cleats in the past few weeks and months.
Arturo Vidal Tests Next-Gen Nike Mercurial Superfly 2016-2017 Boots
CLose-up pictures of Arturo Vidal's unique prototypes.
Boasting a blackout upper, Arturo Vidal's next-gen Nike Mercurial Superfly 2016-2017 Cleat is remarkably different to the boots worn by Marchisio and Jesé Rodríguez. First, the next-gen Nike Mercurial Superfly Arturo Vidal Edition comes with green studs in the rear that look to be from the Pure Platinum colorway of the next-gen Nike Mercurial Cleats (In fact, the complete sole plate seems to be from that paint job). Second, his boots looks much glossier in the heel area than the other prototypes worn by Nike's player (but this is, almost certain, just because of the sun + the angle the pictures was taken).
Apart from that, the Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots worn by Arturo Vidal seem to be nothing special and are very likely non-modified (but that's not possible to say with 100% clarity as there is just that one picture).

Alianza Universidad 2026 Special Kit Released
Peruvian club Alianza Universidad de Huánuco and local manufacturer Real Sport have officially unveiled a special commemorative kit for the 2026 season. Launched under the slogan "Vestimos nuestra fe" (We wear our faith), the release embraces Peru's deep-rooted October tradition of donning purple to pay homage to religious heritage, specifically honoring the Señor de Burgos, the patron saint of Huánuco.
The Real Sport Alianza Universidad 2026 special shirt swaps the team's customary red and blue palette for a striking purple and white striped look. It features bold purple vertical stripes across the front, complemented by a purple crew neck and matching sleeve trim on white sleeves. On the upper back sits an intricate graphic badge depicting the Señor de Burgos, accompanied by the inscription "Rey y Patrón de Huánuco", while squad numbers are rendered in gold with purple outlines.
The special edition kit is set to make its on-pitch debut during October Liga 2 action and is currently available via pre-order through the club's official channels.
Adidas Reuses Spain’s 2026 Training Kits
During recent UEFA Nations League training sessions, Spain was spotted using old training jerseys with one star removed and two additional stars printed above the logo. The imprint of the old star remains visible on the shirts.
This case is reminiscent of another interesting situation involving the Argentina futsal team at the 2021 Futsal World Cup. Despite being the defending champions, Argentina was not provided bespoke kits by Adidas and had to use standard jerseys, from which two stars were removed and replaced with one, as they had only won the Futsal World Cup once.
Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collages.
