Just like the Mercurial Superfly of the same name, the new Nike MercurialX Proximo boots in Purple Dynasty feature a dark purple upper. It is combined with orange, which is used for the large Swoosh at the front and the MercurialX logo on the outstep, and black, used for the rear and collar. To round things off, Nike used a white midsole and a gum outsole for the purple MercurialX Proximo II.

Umbro Launches Nations 2026 Collection
Umbro has released the Nations collection, inspired by the 2026 World Cup. The designs are available for **Brazil, Argentina, France, England, Japan and Morocco**. Rather than official team replicas, the pieces feature authorial reinterpretations with custom color palettes, exclusive graphics, crests and typography developed specifically for the project.
Each jersey includes symbolic details tied to the respective nation's identity, balancing minimalist and bolder approaches. Umbro Brazil director Eduardo Dal Pogetto noted that the aim was to go beyond traditional sportswear and create pieces representing the energy and identity of various nations with a modern outlook for daily use.
The jerseys are available now on the official Umbro Brazil website and select retailers, priced at R$349.99.
Arsenal Switches to Home Kit for Title Celebrations
After securing the Premier League title while playing in their Trefoil-adorned third kit, the Arsenal squad made a deliberate wardrobe change into their traditional 25-26 red and white home kit to actually lift the trophy.
This evokes memories of FC Barcelona, who famously wore orange but switched to their home shirt for the title lifting. In contrast to Arsenal, Barcelona just switched the shirt and kept the orange shorts and socks.
Do you like teams switching into their primary colors after the final whistle to ensure historic celebrations are captured in their iconic home kits?
Manchester City Debuts 26-27 Home Kit
Man City did not wear the special golden inscription for Pep Guardiola. This edition was exclusively available at the stadium store, limited to 500 shirts.
Atalanta, Marseille & Wolfsburg Change Logos for 26-27 Season
Vietnamese kit freaks Chuyện Áo Đấu have created a nice infographic of three European teams' logo changes for the 26-27 season. All of them have one thing in common - they are circular.
The underlying reasoning for this widespread circular design trend across modern football is primarily driven by digital functionality and commercial scalability. Circular, stripped-down logos provide a sense of visual balance and are significantly easier to apply across various media, ranging from tiny social media avatars to global lifestyle merchandise.
However, this rush toward extreme minimalism is increasingly alienating traditional football supporters and risking a severe homogenization of the sport's visual landscape.
For Wolfsburg, the change was praised by fans, as the Zinnen crest has been the fans' favorite design ever since. For Atalanta, it was also rooted in history, while OM was the biggest update.
