Neymar Shows Off Completely New Blackout Nike Boots
Feb 27, 2016, by Pat
Training ahead of tomorrow's clash with Sevilla, FC Barcelona and Brazil superstar Neymar today laced up in a pair of completely blacked-out, previously unseen football boots.
Neymar Trains in Unique Blackout Boots
Neymar today trained in a pair of completely new blackout football boots.
Although they are all-black, it's possible to say that Neymar's new cleats look unlike anything that's currently on the market from Nike.
And, even though we recently revealed that Nike would soon return to the upper of the first-generation Hypervenoms and the structure of the front echoes that of the original Hypervenoms, it doesn't go all around the boot, with the rear part clearly boasting an entirely different, leather like upper. That, and the fact that the Flywire strings are less angled and rather aligned parallel, unlike on the Hypervenom II, lead us to the conclusion that Neymar wasn't wearing a prototype of the revamped second-generation Hypervenom boots.
They're also not the next-gen Nike Magista Obra or Opus boots, even though Neymar was the first player to give the former ones a run-out last summer. The upper of both is not quite similar to what Neymar was spotted wearing today. The sole plate does however look quite a bit like that of the new Magistas, but unfortunately it's not possible to tell exactly without getting a look at the bottom.
Besides the totally unique upper, the tongue construction and lacing system of Neymar's new blackout boots also caught our attention. Although similarly offset to the outside, it looks quite different than the Hypervenom-Mercurial hybrids that Neymar is usually sporting, there might even be one lace hole less. This one's a bit of speculation, but the tongue does have a bit of a Flyknit look to it, too.
All in all, it's most likely that Neymar's boots are not something we'll see in an actual game anytime soon. The fact they're blacked-out and the dissimilarity to Neymar's current football boots speak a clear language in this regard. Since they're also neither the upcoming, changed Hypervenom IIs or the next-gen Magistas, it seems most probable that they are a completely new boot, either a new silo, an one-off boot (remember the Nike Green Speed, released for the 2012 Olympics?), or an early prototype of a next-gen Hypervenom (although those are not expected to hit before summer 2017).

Buriram United 26-27 Third Kit Released
Thai powerhouse Buriram United have officially unveiled their in-house 26-27 third kit. Produced under the club's own label as is tradition for domestic competitions, the shirt utilizes a very dark navy base covered with subtle geometric cross motifs, complemented by light pink accents across the buttoned collar, monochrome crest, and sponsor graphics. The release has sparked debate among supporters and collectors, as Buriram's 26-27 home kit also relies on a dark navy template, differing primarily by pairing it with coral detailing rather than pink.

The Kappa Clermont Foot 63 26-27 third jersey features a charcoal base covered in an elaborate line-art illustration across the front. The design incorporates several key regional landmarks and cultural symbols, including the Puy de Dôme volcano, the iconic twin spires of Clermont-Ferrand Cathedral, the Stade Gabriel-Montpied, a football marked with the department number 63, and the traditional Auvergnat gonfanon.

The Erreà AS Cittadella 26-27 third shirt combines a predominantly black base with an irregular, lived-in texture that mimics the surface of ancient stone. A striking mix of purple, aqua green, and granata accents enlivens the textured graphic across the front, back, and sleeves. The club's crest is rendered in vibrant aqua green embroidery on the chest, complemented by matching Erreà branding and sponsor detailing, while the club's founding year, 1973, is stitched onto the upper back.
Completing the outfield range alongside the previously launched home and away jerseys, the new third kit is now available through the club's and Erreà's official channels.
Isco Makes Champions League History With Fifth Different Spanish Club
Real Betis captain Isco made European history during his side's return to the UEFA Champions League, inspiring Los Verdiblancos to an exciting 3-2 away victory against Lille. By taking the pitch in Betis' opening fixture, the veteran playmaker became the first footballer in history to appear in the Champions League with five different Spanish clubs, having previously featured in the competition for Valencia, Málaga, Real Madrid, and Sevilla.
Beyond his unique journey across Spanish football, Isco enters the 26-27 campaign holding an unmatched distinction: no active player in this season's competition has won more Champions League titles. The midfielder lifted Europe's most coveted trophy five times during his spell with Real Madrid, triumphing in 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2022. Betis qualified for the Champions League for the first time in 21 years, and their talisman marked the milestone occasion in style by registering an assist in France to cement his enduring European pedigree.
