Rakitic and Suárez Show Off Unreleased Adidas Ace and X Red Limit Boots
FC Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic, one of the most high-profile players to wear Adidas' laceless cleats, has become the first to train in the launch colorway of the Ace 17+ PureControl boots. His team-mate Luis Suarez was meanwhile spotted wearing the upcoming Adidas X 16.1 boots from the same collection.
Rakitic Shows Off Unreleased Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl Red Limit Boots
This is a close-up of the next-gen Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl Red Limit cleats worn by Rakitic.
Part of Adidas' Red Limit collection, the very first Ace 17+ PureControl boots are black and red with silver-metallic accents, such as the 3 Stripes on the outside.
Tech-wise, while the upper construction is largely the same as on the previous generation, a slim layer of Boost has been added to the midsole part - and is even visible thanks to a partly view-through outsole. Learn more about the Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl here.
The boots worn by Suarez form part of the same Adidas football boot pack, but are only an updated paint job for the X 16.1 model that dropped last summer. See more close-up pictures of them here.

Adidas Italy 2026 EQT Retro Collection Leaked
We now have images of the (full) Adidas Italy EQT collection. It includes a track jacket, matching pants, and lifestyle t-shirt.
As part of a wider Originals collection aimed at national teams, this new collection brings a strong 1990s aesthetic back to the modern era. The release highlights the German brand's continuing strategy of mining its extensive design archives to create bespoke, off-pitch apparel for its top-tier federations.
The Adidas Italy EQT collection boasts striking green, white and red geometric blocks, creating 3 stripes.
Adding heavily to the nostalgic appeal, the chest displays a centralized logo arrangement, featuring a classic Adidas wordmark and Trefoil paired with a faithful recreation of the historic Italian Football Federation crest used throughout the early 1990s.
Other Adidas federations will get the same range in their colors.
Figueirense 26-27 Home Kit Released
Brazilian Série C side Figueirense has officially unveiled its new home jersey for the 2026-2027 season, produced by domestic technical partner Volt Sport. The new primary uniform directly follows the recent release of the club's away kit and serves as a major part of the team's ongoing celebrations to mark the 105th anniversary of their founding in 1921.
The Figueirense 26-27 home shirt remains deeply rooted in tradition, featuring the club's classic black and white vertical stripes. However, Volt Sport has elevated the historic aesthetic by deeply embossing the black stripes with commemorative elements that honor the club's 105-year history. The heavily detailed body is framed by solid black sleeves and a matching black block on the back for player numbering. The look is completed by a classic black polo collar and sleeve cuffs, both of which are detailed with ribbed white striping.
Further custom details are integrated throughout the garment, including the phrase "Avante Figueirense, pra frente Furacão" printed along the inner hem.
In a final nod to the milestone year, a special 105th-anniversary seal is applied to the lower right corner of the shirt.
