Nov 7, 2016, by Pat
The third chapter of Nike's Cristiano Ronaldo boot series has also been released for the Mercurial Vapor XI model. Offering a low-cut alternative to the Superfly, the Nike Mercurial Vapor 11 Cristiano Ronaldo Chapter 3 Discovery boots are the first to be based on the 11th generation of the iconic speed soccer cleat.
Nike started a new series of Cristiano Ronaldo signature boots, celebrating crucial stages of the Real Madrid star's career, almost exactly a year ago. The green and yellow Nike Mercurial Superfly V CR7 football boots mark the third chapter and follow up on 'Savage Beauty' and 'Natural Diamond'. They are named 'Discovery'.

Boasting a half-and-half design, the new Nike Mercurial Vapor XI Ronaldo Chapter 3 Discovery boots are split between dark green on the outside and Volt on the inside. A subtle reflective pattern is worked into the upper and laces of the eye-catching Nike Mercurial Vapor Ronaldo 2016-2017 soccer boots, while the sole plate is white with garish yellow accents.
Volt Mercurial and Nike brandings on the outside and a silver CR7 logo on the inside complete the design of the first Nike Mercurial Vapor 11 Cristiano Ronaldo Discovery cleats - alongside a '06-08-03' writing on the heel, the date of the match between Sporting and Manchester United where he sealed his transfer to the Red Devils shortly after.
On top of that, the sockliner of the Nike Mercurial Vapor Cristiano Ronaldo Discovery 2016-17 cleats shows an aerial view of Sporting Lisbon's Estádio José Alvalade, where Cristiano Ronaldo made his first steps in professional football.
In terms of tech, Cristiano Ronaldo's signature Nike Mercurial Vapor XI Chapter 3 Discovery boots are the same as regular editions. Built for speed, they feature a synthetic leather upper with ACC technology and embossed horizontal ridges (speed ribs).

Venezia and Rapid Wien Release Special Collaborative Kit
Venezia FC and SK Rapid have unveiled two special limited-edition jerseys to celebrate the 26th anniversary of the historic friendship between their supporters and clubs. The twinning, which officially traces back to January 15, 2000, was commemorated on the pitch during an international friendly at the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, with both sides wearing the bespoke designs.
The collaboration includes two distinct shirts designed in close cooperation with the fan groups. The black Unione jersey features an all-over diamond jacquard pattern, complemented by Venezia's orange and green checkerboard on the right shoulder and Rapid's green and white stripes on the left. The white Unione shirt presents a split look blending green and orange accents with line illustrations of iconic architectural landmarks from both Venice and Vienna, including the Doge's Palace and St. Stephen's Cathedral. Both designs place the lion of Saint Mark and the Austrian eagle crests side by side above the date 15.01.2000.
During the friendly match on the Venetian lagoon, the hosts wore the black kit while Rapid took to the pitch in the white version, with Venezia edging a 1-0 victory. The limited-edition jerseys have been made available to supporters through Venezia's official online store and physical club shops.
Unique Jordan PSG 26-27 Third Goalkeeper Kit Leaked - Inspired by Bernard Lama
The striking new goalkeeper jersey from the upcoming Paris Saint-Germain x Jordan third collection has leaked courtesy of PSG insider @lasource75006. Scheduled to drop in the coming weeks alongside the club's 26-27 third player kit, the long-sleeve piece pays direct homage to iconic former Paris Saint-Germain shot-stopper Bernard Lama.
The Jordan PSG 26-27 third goalkeeper shirt draws inspiration from the distinctive Nike template worn by Lama during the 1997-98 season. It features a vibrant red base with sharp black vertical stripes tapering upward from the lower hem. The long sleeves are adorned with dynamic graphic streaks in shades of purple, blue, and black, perfectly channeling the flamboyant goalkeeper aesthetics of the late 1990s.
Gold detailing rounds off the design, highlighted by a centrally aligned Jordan Jumpman sitting above a monochrome Paris Saint-Germain crest and the Qatar Airways chest sponsor.

The Capelli Neuchâtel Xamax 26-27 Fête des Vendanges shirt arrives in a sharp black and silver colorway, covered in intricate architectural illustrations of the famous landmark. The front of the jersey features repeating linework depicting the church's Gothic arches, towers, and rose windows, flowing into detailed clock faces and decorative borders around the lower hem. Finished with matching ornate patterns along the collar and cuffs, all sponsor and club logos are rendered in monochrome silver

The new Montenegro 2026 home kit is predominantly red, accented with two prominent yellow vertical stripes running down the front of the jersey. In line with the central design focus, the white Legea wordmark and the national federation crest sit centrally on the chest above yellow squad numbering. The strip is rounded off with red shorts featuring yellow detailing and matching red socks.
The 2026 away kit adopts an inverted approach on a clean white base. It features a bold central vertical band in red, neatly outlined by thin yellow borders that run from the collar down to the hem.
