Adidas Messi 2016-2017 Space Dust Boots Released
Oct 11, 2016, by Pat
The third colorway of the new Adidas Messi 16.1 football boots introduces a bold and eye-catching design to be worn exclusively by the Argentina and FC Barcelona superstar. Launched on October 11, 2016, the black and green Adidas Messi 16 cleats offer a more available alternative of sorts to the extremely limited 10/10 edition that sold out almost immediately yesterday.
Adidas unveiled the Adidas Messi 15.1, the Three Stripes' first-ever soccer boot silo exclusive to one player, in summer 2015. A year later, the brand reveals the second generation of the model, the Adidas Messi 16.
Adidas Messi 16.1 Space Dust - Dark Grey / Silver Metallic / Solar Green
This is the Adidas Messi 2016-17 cleats in black and green from the Space Dust collection.
Dubbed the Space Dust edition, the third Adidas Messi 16.1 football boots feature an eye-catching gradient that goes from a very dark grey at the top towards a striking green at the bottom. The iconic Adidas stripes on the outside heel, are colored in Silver Metallic.
Other brandings, such as the Adidas Performance logo at the heel are green, while the dark grey upper also includes a subtle spray pattern in green, and the sole plate of the Adidas Messi Space Dust boots is entirely of the eye-catching green color.
Tech-wise, the black and green Adidas Messi 16.1 Space Dust soccer cleats come with the same specifications as the previous two editions, launched for the Copa America and the start of the 2016-17 season, respectively. They have a textile Agilityknit upper and combine it with a traditional, low-cut ankle design.
Not only has the "MessiCage" of the first generation Adidas Messi cleats been removed, the second-generation Adidas Messi 2016-17 boots also come with a redesigned sole plate and stud configuration.
Released on October 11, 2016, the Dark Grey and Solar Green Adidas Messi 2016-2017 soccer boots retail at a price of $200 (€200, £175).

Spanish side FC Cartagena and Macron have officially launched their new away kit for the 26-27 season, paying homage to the city's rich three-thousand-year heritage. Draped in traditional carmesí red, the jersey is decorated with an intricate all-over graphic pattern inspired by an ancient Roman mosaic uncovered in the crypt beneath the Catedral de Santa María la Vieja.

Nike to Sell Long-Sleeve Besiktas Kits From 27-28 Season
Nike is set to introduce commercially available long-sleeve kits for Beşiktaş starting from the 27-28 season. Following the club's major switch from Adidas after 17 years, supporters will finally have direct access to official long-sleeve match jerseys at retail. Big thanks to @ertansuzgun & @Formaholic.
The timing aligns with significant milestone celebrations in Istanbul, as Nike is also planning a special 125th-anniversary collection for Beşiktaş during the 27-28 campaign to mark the club's foundation in 1903. Rather than relying on base layers and compression undershirts, players and fans alike will see dedicated long-sleeve designs included in the lineup.
The development forms part of Nike's wider strategy to bring back commercial long-sleeve authentic shirts across its elite roster from 27-28 onwards. By expanding long-sleeve availability to Beşiktaş, Nike closes the gap on rivals like Adidas and provides the Black Eagles with full top-tier treatment under their new partnership.

Puma and A-League club Melbourne City FC have officially unveiled their complete kit collection for the 26-27 campaign. Launched under the campaign tagline 'Made of City', the three-kit drop blends the club's signature identity with Melbourne street culture and club heritage.
The Melbourne City 26-27 home shirt stays true to tradition, centered around the iconic City Blue base. Drawing inspiration directly from the club badge, red and yellow trim accents decorate the collar and sleeve cuffs. Meanwhile, the away kit leans into nocturnal Melbourne fashion, pairing a deep plum jersey with an abstract zig-zag graphic and vibrant shimmer pink branding across all sponsor prints and the club crest.
Rounding out the lineup is the 26-27 third kit, which pays homage to the club's origins as Melbourne Heart. The shirt combines a crisp off-white base with red accents and incorporates a subtle heartbeat graphic emerging across the chest from behind the crest. A heart motif inside the collar completes the tribute. The new collection is available through Melbourne City's online store and Puma Australia.

Italian Serie D club AC Mestre has officially unveiled its new third kit for the 26-27 campaign, manufactured once again by Japanese sportswear brand Mizuno. The new drop follows the earlier presentations of the club's home and away shirts, completing their kit lineup for the new season.
The Mizuno AC Mestre 26-27 third shirt introduces a sleek and stealthy design, dominated by a black base accented by vibrant orange details. Bright orange trim lines the V-neck collar and broad sleeve cuffs, while both the Mizuno Runbird logo and the AC Mestre crest are rendered in matching monochrome orange. A subtle jacquard pattern is also incorporated across the front fabric, adding depth to the understated look.
Black shorts and socks with orange detailing complete the full AC Mestre 26-27 third uniform.
