Adidas To Bring Back First-Gen Gloro Permanently
We can reveal that yesterday's surprise launch of a new Adidas Gloro 15.1 boot colorway was no one-off affair. The Three Stripes have more Gloro 15.1 releases waiting in-line, confirming that the tongue is here to stay.
Adidas Gloro 15.1 - The Tongue is Here to Stay
Initial Gloro 15.1 colorway offering
Adidas released the all-new Gloro soccer cleat in March 2015. Marketed under the slogan "the tongue is back", the Gloro was a hit amongst the more traditional football boot lovers. However, those fans turned on Adidas after the company launched the second generation of the Gloro, which didn't have a fold-over tongue, in December 2015.
Whether Adidas reacted to those opinions, or to continue releasing Gloro 15.1 updates was the brand's plan all along, doesn't really matter now and everybody will be pleased to have yet another choice in terms of football boots.
Unchanged in their technical specifications, the new color updates for the first-generation Adidas Gloro boots will be released throughout the year, offering a reliable supply to those who prefer a fold-over tongue. The next Adidas Gloro 15.1 2016 release is already scheduled for early March and will cost just £80.
What are your thoughts on the "return of the tongue"? Which colorways are you hoping to see? Let us know in the comments below.
Awesome: Leeds United 26-27 Home Kit Concept Based on Leaked Bayern München Away Kit
A stylish Leeds United home kit concept has caught the attention of fans online. Created by Leeds supporter and graphic designer @ZK1919, the concept directly adapts the design of an Adidas FC Bayern away kit, transforming it into a Leeds home shirt.
The concept features the classic Adidas Trefoil logo and integrates Leeds United's front-of-shirt sponsor, Red Bull. To match the club's traditional colors, the designer swapped the original red accents for yellow and outlined the Red Bull logo in blue. The concept also sparked discussions among supporters regarding the exact shade of yellow, the choice of the club badge, and the potential constraints of Red Bull's corporate branding rules on future kits.
While purely a fan-made design and not an official leak for the 2026-27 season, it highlights the potential of an Adidas Trefoil Leeds kit. The actual Leeds United 26-27 home kit has been very unpopular ahead of its release.
