Special-Edition Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl UCL Dragon 2017 Boots Released
The black and blue Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl UCL Dragon 2017 boots introduce a bold graphic print design for the new generation of the Adidas Ace. A limited-edition release, the Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl UCL Dragon cleats are available from February 13.
Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl - Black / Blue
This is the black and blue Adidas Ace 17+ football boot.
Predominantly black, the new Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl UCL Dragon football boots features an interesting graphic print on the sides in blue and red, a bit like a reverse of this summer's Paris Pack edition of the Ace 16+ PureControl. The graphic print draws inspiration from the 2017 Champions League final in Cardiff.
The lateral stripes are black, while the support cage surrounding them is of a translucent blue material. Last but not least, the sole plate of this new Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl UCL Dragon 2017 soccer boot appears to also feature a translucent blue, fading to black at the front, while the studs at the back are of the same pinkish red used in the graphic print.
In terms of their tech, the new Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl UCL Dragon cleats continues to be built around the same laceless concept as its predecessor, the Ace 16+ PureControl. A new ridging pattern has been added in the forefoot area of the shoe in order to improve ball control and touch.
The most intriguing addition, however, is the use of Adidas' renowned Boost cushioning system. Used in a much smaller amount than in the brand's Ultra Boost running shoes, for example, a thin layer of Boost is placed between the outsole and sockliner of the Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl. For increased exposure, the central part of the sole plate is translucent, thus revealing the characteristic white, Styrofoam-like material.
The black and blue Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl UCL Dragon cleats are a limited-edition release and are available from February 13.

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.
