Neymar Returns to Nike Mercurial Boots
Here is the video Nike released today.
Brazilian superstar Neymar is set to ditch the Nike Hypervenom football boots sooner than expected after he was spotted wearing the brand-new Nike Mercurial Vapor 11 Dark Lightning pack boots in today's training session ahead of Él Clásico on Saturday.
Neymar to Debut Nike Mercurial Vapor Boots in El Clasico on Saturday
Close-up with Neymar's new soccer cleats.
Neymar, who has been having problems with Nike's agility boot since the launch of the second-gen Hypervenom and therefore famously received camouflaged Mercurial-esque Nike Hypervenom soccer cleats from the Swoosh, is set to debut the Nike Mercurial Vapor XI football boot in Barca's biggest match this season yet - El Clasico against Real Madrid on Saturday.
Neymar has been previously already spotted wearing likely a blacked-out version of the Dark Lightning Nike Mercurial Vapor boots (red studs). We already exclusively reported that Neymar would ditch the Hypervenom for the Mercurial forever, while we expected that he would say goodbye to the agility boots with or shortly ahead of the launch of the next-gen Nike Hypervenom football boot.
Perfect timing? Do you now also look forward to the first Nike Mercurial Neymar signature editions? Who will become the new face of the Hypervenom? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
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.
