Jun 23, 2016, by Pat
The second colorway of the new Nike MercurialX Proximo 2 indoor and turf soccer shoes introduces a stealth look, a stark contrast to the uber-striking launch color. The black and pink Nike MercurialX Proximo II boots are expected to go on sale in early July.

Predominantly black, the new Nike MercurialX Proximo II indoor boots once again take cues from the latest outdoor colorway of the Nike Mercurial Superfly V. They feature a pink MercurialX writing on the outside heel, while the Swooshes, a large one on the outside and a smaller one medially, boast a reflective finish. Rounding things off are the sole, coming with a traditional gum color (black on the TF (turf) variant) and the Dynamic Fit collar in grey.
Tech-wise, the black Nike MercurialX Proximo II football boots boast an extra layer of protection in the forefoot area compared to the Superfly V. In general, they have a one-piece Flyknit upper, while a thin layer of synthetic NikeSkin is added on top in order to offer more protection and to improve durability.
The sole has also been completely reworked for the second-gen Nike MercurialX Proximo. A "full-length Phylon midsole with sipes for light, responsive cushioning" is at the base of the new Nike MercurialX Proximo II soccer boots, while a new outsole was created specifically for this shoe.
Set to be available for indoor / court (IN) and turf (TF) surfaces, the black Nike MercurialX Proximo II football boots should be available from early July. They retail at $175.

Hanoi FC Uses Same Adidas Template as Mercedes F1 Shirt
Vietnamese V.League 1 side Hanoi FC and Adidas have unveiled the first kits from their new partnership, with the design immediately sparking discussion over its unusual short Three Stripes layout across the shoulders.
The shirt uses a new Adidas template with short 3-Stripes on the shoulders and a classic crew neck, a design primarily seen on takedown jersey (fan version). The same template is also used by Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1, including the team's latest “Vanda Bloom” collection. The purple colourway closely matches Hanoi FC's traditional identity.
The shirt uses a mixed construction: the body features standard Adidas Climacool fabric, while the sleeves use Player-version material.

Aston Villa Announce 8Xbet as Official Asian Betting Partner
Aston Villa have officially confirmed online sportsbook operator 8Xbet as the club's Official Betting Partner in Asia.

The agreement follows Aston Villa's recent pre-season tour across Asia and replaces their previous regional collaboration with NOVA88. 8Xbet is already well known within English football, having previously secured regional Asian betting partnerships with clubs such as Manchester City and Chelsea.
