Diego Costa Trains in All-New Adidas X Skeleton Boots
Chelsea striker Diego Costa has become the next-high-profile Adidas player to be spotted wearing a blackout version of the Adidas X15+ Skeleton Cleats that were already shown off by Bayern's Thomas Müller and Luis Suarez. The first-ever Adidas X 15+ Skeleton Football Boot it set to be launched in April 2015.

Close-up with the blackout boots used by the Chelsea striker.
Boasting an almost completely blackout look, the blackout boots used by Diego Costa seem to be exactly the same cleats that were used by the two other Adidas players who trained in the upcoming boots. The Adidas X 15+ Skeleton boasts a extremely shiny X-Cage structure that gives away their identity.
The Adidas X 15.1 Skeleton cleats boast an all-new microfiber upper, while the heightened sockliner was also modified notably compared to the regular Adidas X. Everything about the Adidas X Skeleton Boots is about reducing the weight in comparison with the regular Adidas X 15 Boots, which weights in at quite heavy 8.2 oz (almost 233 gram).
The Champions League quarter finals, which take place between April 5 and 13, seem the most probable stage for the debut of the Adidas X Skeleton, which will be launched very likely with a white, silver, green and blue paint job.
Do you think that the Adidas X 15+ Skeleton Boots will offer real advantages compared to the standard version of the cleats? Let us know in the comments below and check out the much more remarkable Adidas X 16 Skeleton in our Boot Calendar.

Portuguesa 2026 Third Kit Released - Tribute to Portugal Ahead of 2026 World Cup
Brazilian club Associação Portuguesa de Desportos, commonly known as Portuguesa, has officially launched its new third kit for the 2026 season. Produced by technical sponsor Joma, the new uniform pays direct homage to the Portuguese national team, celebrating the club's deep historical roots as Portugal prepares to compete in the upcoming 2026 World Cup.
The new Portuguesa 2026 third jersey closely mirrors the classic look of the Portuguese national team, featuring a vibrant crimson red base enhanced by subtle jacquard detailing that provides a sense of movement to the fabric. The shirt is structured with a classic polo collar adorned with red and white edging and a green front point insert. The sleeves remain red with contrasting green underarm panels, while the cuffs match the collar's red and white trim.
Further solidifying the international tribute, the official coat of arms of Portugal is prominently displayed on the nape of the neck above the white player numbering. The alternative uniform is completed by green shorts and red socks, finalizing the classic Portuguese color scheme.
The kit is set to make its on-pitch debut this Saturday, May 16th, in a match against Água Santa.
