Breaking. FC Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi is set to debut the stunning Platinum Edition Adidas Messi 15 FIFA Ballon d'Or Boots in tonight's La Liga clash against Athletic Bilbao after he still laced up in the standard colorway of the Adidas Messi 15.1 Boots in FC Barcelona's Copa del Rey match against arch rivals Espanyol on Wednesday and, more importantly, in all of Barça's training sessions in the past week.

Even though the Argentina superstar has been never spotted wearing his fifth FIFA Ballon d'Or yet, we can assume that the Argentinian superstar uses a non-modified version of the boots that were exclusively designed for him as he previously also laced up in a technically non-modified version of the Adidas Messi 15.1 Cleats.
Apart from that, there is nothing interesting to add yet. However, we can't hardly wait to see Messi debuting his 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or Boots as we are really interesting for the on-pitch appearance of the boot that split opinions among boot fans in the past week.
Did you expect that Messi would debut the boots today? Let us also what you think of the on-pitch appearance of Leo Messi's 2015 FIFA Ballon d'Or boots (that will be, logically, only possible after the match).

Deportivo Cali 1965 First Title Commemorative Kits Released
Colombian club Deportivo Cali and their technical sponsor Hillside have launched a special-edition capsule celebrating the club's historic first league championship won in 1965. The release consists of two retro-inspired jerseys — one in green and another in white — that pay tribute to the monumental title won over six decades ago.
Both shirts embrace a classic mid-60s aesthetic, anchored by an open polo-style collar. The green shirt features a contrasting white collar and cuffs, complemented by a tonal sublimated pattern of stripes, pennants, and historic club insignia across the fabric. In turn, the white version offers a clean, elegant look highlighted by rich emerald green trim. On the collar ribbing, knit detailing spells out "19 CAMPEÓN 65" in tribute to the landmark campaign.
Each jersey is adorned with a vintage Deportivo Cali crest topped by a single embroidered golden star representing that maiden triumph. Additional commemorative touches include a retro script Hillside graphic at the lower back and a stitched authentic crest patch near the hem displaying "Cali - Un Amor para toda la Vida 1912". The limited-edition pieces are delivered in custom collector's packaging alongside a certificate of authenticity.
