Adidas Messi 16 Overview - 16+ vs 16.1 vs 16.2 vs 16.3 vs 16.4

Following our in-depth overview of the X 16, let's take a closer look at the other Adidas boot that saw a new generation released a few weeks back - the Adidas Messi.

Adidas Messi 16+ PureAgility

The Adidas Messi 16+ PureAgility is the most expensive model of the Adidas Messi 2016 range. It features a lace-cover construction that is very similar to that of the Adidas X 16+ PureChaos.

Adidas Messi 16.1

Boasting a more traditional, albeit shifted lacing system, the Adidas Messi 16.1 football boots are otherwise akin to the 16+ PureAgility, with even Lionel Messi himself apparently preferring this version.

Adidas Messi 16.2

Next in line is the Adidas Messi 16.2, retailing at $130. It comes with a similar upper, although the rear and parts of the sole plate construction appear different than on the two higher-priced models.

Adidas Messi 16.3

The Adidas Messi 16.3 soccer cleats include a different upper, even in terms of design.

Adidas Messi 16.4

Leaked: Adidas Originals River Plate Retro Shirt Hints at 26-27 Away Kit

We have the first image of a brand-new Adidas Originals River Plate retro shirt. It is part of the team's 26-27 away collection.

The River Plate retro shirt features a color-blocked design reminiscent of classic 1980s sportswear. The upper half of the torso and the raglan sleeves are solid red, while the lower half is crisp white. Separating the two sections is a prominent, thick black horizontal chest band. A classic white Adidas Trefoil logo and the traditional River Plate shield sit high on the chest, keeping the design completely free of modern sponsors for a pure, vintage aesthetic.

Glentoran 26-27 Home Kit Released

Glentoran and Macron have launched the club's new 2026-27 home kit for the upcoming NIFL Premiership campaign. The design pays homage to the classic 1992-93 shirt worn during their memorable European Cup tie against Marseille, featuring a green body with red sleeves and shoulder panels separated by black trim.

Giving the shirt a distinct early 1990s retro feel, a red fold-over collar is included with black striping and a black V-shaped insert at the front. A tonal graphic pattern runs across both the green and red sections, adding texture to the Macron Eco Fabric. The Macron Hero logo appears in white on the chest and sleeves, sitting opposite the stitched Glentoran crest and its accompanying gold star.

Additional details include the club motto Le Jeu Avant Tout embroidered in white on the back of the collar, and Glentoran FC Est 1882 printed inside the lower hem. Featuring Bet McLean as the main sponsor, the new Glentoran 2026-27 home shirt is completed with matching white shorts and green socks.
