Update: Has Adnan Januzaj's Boot Saga Come to an End?
Jan 19, 2016, by Chris
Update 19/01/2015: Adnan Januzaj yesterday made his first match for Manchester United in the U21 Premier League match against Southampton after he rejoined the Red Devils wearing the latest Nike Mercurial Vapor X Boots Edition. It now seems to be certain that Adnan Januzaj's boot saga has come to an end and that he rejoined Nike.
Has Adnan Januzaj not only rejoined Manchester United but also the Swoosh? The young Belgian forward, who returned to Manchester United this week after his actual season-long loan deal with Borussia Dortmund was preliminary terminated, has been spotted wearing a branded Nike Mercurial Football Boot in his last training session with Borussia Dortmund on January 5.
Adnan Januzaj, who should actually wear New Balance's Furon Speed Boots this season (he could be seen on New Balance's promotion images of their all-new speed boots), has in fact never worn a branded New Balance Furon boot but only laced up in blackout Adidas X and blackout Nike Mercurial Boots so far this season.

Boasting the design of the latest Nike Mercurial Vapor 10 Boots, the Nike Mercurial Vapor X Cleats used by Adnan Januzaj are non-modified and exactly the same as the regular edition of the Urban Lilac Nike Mercurial Vapor 10 Boots. So, as his new boots are nothing special at all, how certain is it that Januzaj has actually returned to Nike?
As the Belgium international exactly switched to the branded Nike Boots in the first training session of the new year, it's very certain that his time with New Balance has ultimately AND completely come to an end and that he has rejoined the US-giant Nike. However, only the next weeks will bring 100% clarity in Adnan Januzaj's boot case.
Do you think he will stay with his boots for now? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.
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.
