Boot Watch #010 | Camouflaged, Iconic and Unique Boots
Jan 31, 2016, by Chris
We are back with the last January edition of our Boot Watch. And while there already have been various unique boot spottings in the past week, we managed to gather at least some new boots that are even more outstanding than those we've already covered on our website in the past seven days (See them all here).
Jesé Rodríguez | Blackout Next-Gen Nike Mercurial Superfly
Real Madrid's Jesé Rodríguez again laced up in a blackout version of the next-gen Nike Mercurial Superfly 2016-2017 Boots this week. However, as we already revealed the launch colorway of next-gen Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots 10 days ago, that's nothing very interesting anymore.
Neymar | Camouflaged Nike Hypervenom 'Ousadia Alegria'
Neymar not only received his first signature boots for 2016, the Brazilian superstar even managed to get two 'very different' modified editions of the boots from the Swoosh. And while he both laced up in camouflaged boots with and without the collar on Friday, he - not surprisingly - wore his beloved low-cut camouflaged Nike Hypervenom Boot that is in fact just a Nike Mercurial Vapor X against Atlético.
Walcott | Modified Adidas X Primeknit
Theo Walcott, who previously laced up in camouflaged Adidas X boots that were in fact just Adidas F50 Adizero 2014 Boots, debuted his custom version of the Solar Yellow Adidas X Primeknit Boot that features a Sprintframe sole plate (He even showed off his camouflaged boots on Twitter).
Juan Mata | Black Adidas Ace PureControl
Juan Mata became the first player to debut the black version of the laceless Adidas Ace PureControl Cleats after Yanga-Mbiwa from Olympique Lyonnais already showed off the boots six days ago.
Mats Hummels | Black Adidas Ace 16 Primeknit
Whereas Juan Mata laced up in the laceless edition of the knitted Adidas Ace Boots (PureControl), Mats Hummels opted for the knitted version with the laces that looks not roughly as classy.
Tiago Mota | Nike Mercurial Vapor VI
Tiago Mota laced up in the bold 'Voltage Cherry' Edition of the Nike Mercurial Vapor VI Boots that was released in 2010.
Giuseppe Bellusci - Completely Custom Nike Magista Obra
Giuseppe Bellusci from Leeds United was spotted wearing a completely custom version of the Nike Magista Obra Boot that he created using Nike's customization service NikeID. Why are they completely custom? Because he cut off parts of the Dynamic Fit collar.
Tom Huddlestone - Cut-Off Nike Magista
Whereas Bellusci just cut off some parts of his collar, Thom Huddlestone from Hull City got completely rid off the 'Dynamic Fit collar'.
Paul Caddis | Adidas Copa Mundial
Whereas Huddlestone had to remove the collar of his boots to create a traditional low-cut version, Paul Caddis just chose to wear the Adidas Copa Mundial. Quite clever.
Dylan Fox & Andrew Durante | Blackout Puma King & Nike CTR Maestri IV
This is our favorite spot of the week. Wellington Phoenix's Dylan Fox laced up in the last regular colorway of the Nike CTR Cleats, whereas his teammate Andrew Durante opted for much less striking boots - Blackout Puma King's.
Anthony Gerrard | Adidas Predator LZ II
Oldham Athletic's Anthony Gerrard opted for the blue, white and orange colorway of the Adidas Predator LZ II Boots. Not a bad choice to be honest.
We hope you enjoyed reading through this week's Boot Watch as much as last week. And, as always, please let us know if you have another spot or found an error in our work.
Raja Club Athletic 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Moroccan heavyweights Raja Club Athletic have officially unveiled their new home and away kits for the 2026-27 season, produced by long-term technical partner Umbro.
The Umbro Raja CA 26-27 home jersey comes in the club's traditional emerald green, distinguished by a striking geometric eagle graphic across the chest that nods to their 'Green Eagles' moniker. White piping traces the raglan sleeves and frames the collar and cuffs, paired with the iconic Umbro diamond and the club's crest on the chest. The home strip is finished with green shorts and matching socks.
Contrasting the home look, the Raja Casablanca 26-27 away jersey is built on a clean white base highlighted by bold green side panels. The shirt features an overlapping green-and-white collar, matching sleeve trim, and monochrome green branding, worn with white shorts and socks. Umbro has also introduced a distinctive goalkeeper jersey featuring a beige and orange chevron pattern.
Limited-Edition Umbro Inter Bogotá x Tres Coronas Kit Released
Colombian side Internacional de Bogotá and kit supplier Umbro have teamed up with iconic Colombian hip-hop duo Tres Coronas to launch a special-edition shirt. The collaboration celebrates the release of the rap outfit's latest studio album, titled "INTER", blending the worlds of Colombian football and Bogotan underground music culture through their shared name.
Reimagining the club's 2026 away jersey, the shirt features a sleek black base adorned with subtle tonal vertical striping. The centerpiece is the album's title, "INTER", boldly rendered across the chest in gothic blackletter typography in a striking red tone. The chest also hosts Umbro's double diamond branding and the Inter Bogotá crest in gold, which is echoed on the sleeves alongside contrasting red and gold cuffs.
Custom details complete the collector's item, including a collaborative Inter x Tres Coronas globe badge on the right sleeve and the duo's official logo positioned below the Inter Bogotá name on the upper back. The special-edition Umbro Inter Bogotá x Tres Coronas shirt was strictly limited to just 100 individually produced units, released exclusively via the club's official online store.
Chesterfield FC 26-27 Home and Away Kits Released
Chesterfield FC and technical sponsor Puma have introduced the club's new home and away kits for the 26-27 campaign. Commemorating the 160th anniversary of the club's founding in 1866, the designs incorporate celebratory elements and feature the logo of long-standing front-of-shirt sponsor Leengate Valves.
The Chesterfield 26-27 home shirt is rendered in the club's classic royal blue, accented by gold detailing across the Puma branding, front sponsor, and a special anniversary badge. Subtle pinstripe ribbing in blue and white decorates the sleeve cuffs and the button-up henley collar, while traditional white shorts and blue socks complete the first-choice look.
For the away kit, the Spireites step out in a predominantly black design distinguished by an offset vertical stripe in two tones of grey running directly through the crest. Metallic silver is used for all brand and partner markings, which is complemented by a stylized retro CFC monogram crest alongside matching black shorts and socks.
Sport Recife 2026 Pink October Kit Released
Brazilian club Sport Recife and kit supplier Kappa have officially unveiled a special shirt in support of the 2026 Pink October (Outubro Rosa) breast cancer awareness campaign. Built around the theme "Paixão que Move Vidas" (Passion that Moves Lives), the initiative aims to raise awareness about early detection and the importance of self-examination, starring four female survivors and supporters in the launch photoshoot.
The Sport Recife 2026 Pink October jersey is predominantly light pink, detailed with subtle tonal horizontal bands running across the front in a nod to the club's traditional striped identity. A black V-neck collar features a contrasting central pink stripe, mirrored cleanly on the sleeve cuffs. Black Kappa Omini branding appears on the right chest opposite the full-color club crest, while the upper back is adorned with a stylized lion graphic flanked by the letters "SPT REC".
The special Sport Recife 2026 Pink October jersey is offered exclusively in women's and youth sizes, available through the club's official online store and the Cazá do Sport store at Ilha do Retiro.
Jordan PSG 26-27 Third Collection Hoodie Leaked
A new lifestyle hoodie from the upcoming Jordan Paris Saint-Germain 26-27 third collection has been shared by PSG experts La Source Parisienne. Arriving in a red base, the pullover hoodie showcases large gold-outlined "PARIS" lettering across the chest, filled with a purple and black graphic pattern and integrated with a golden Jumpman silhouette. Placed directly above the central graphic is a minimalist gold PSG crest, matching the design aesthetic featured throughout the club's wider third range.
