Happy Birthday, José | Here Are Mourinho's Three Most Outstanding Boots
Jan 26, 2017, by Chris
José Mourinho celebrates his 54th birthday today. We take a look at the three most outstanding soccer cleats worn by the famous manager, who is an official ambassador of Adidas.
Custom Adidas Predator Football Boot
Mourinho's likely most stunning boots.
In Summer 2015, it was not a professional footballer but José Mourinho who gave us the most interesting boot spot of the new season as he laced up in a stunning custom colorway of the Adidas Predator Instinct boot that was already discontinued by Adidas.
Adidas X PureChaos Prototypes
José Mourinho was one of the first to give us a look at the Adidas X 16+ PureChaos soccer cleat.
It was not known what exactly José Mourinho was wearing when he laced up in a revolutionary-looking blackout boot in December 2015. However, while he was not the first to wear the blackout boots as Thomas Müller and James Wilson already wore those boots before, it was nevertheless before the first images of the Adidas X 16+ PureChaos soccer cleat, Mourinho's revolutionary-looking blackout boot, were leaked.
Adidas Porsche Sport Design Boots
José Mourinho's latest awesome boot choice.
In November and December 2016, José Mourinho laced up in what are likely his most classy boots choice yet, the Adidas Porsche 911 soccer cleats. Limited to just 1,500 editions, the lAdidas Porsche Sport Design soccer cleat draws inspiration from Porsche's most famous car, the Porsche 911 with a classy black and golden design.
What is your favorite boot worn by Mourinho? Do you know other managers who lace up in unique cleats? Let us know in the comments below.
Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR Collection Leaked
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool LFSTLR collection for the 26-27 season have surfaced online, courtesy of kit insider @KamilBerberler. Following the popular black and gold capsule from the previous campaign, the newest lifestyle range from Adidas Originals switches direction with a sleek black and vibrant red color palette, merging retro football heritage with contemporary streetwear design.
The standout piece of the collection is a long-sleeve lifestyle jersey finished in a deep black base with a subtle, tonal all-over graphic incorporating the iconic Liver bird. Contrasting vibrant red accents define the look, highlighting the classic Adidas Three Stripes running down the shoulders and sleeves, the ribbed cuffs, and centrally stacked Trefoil and Liver bird logos. A matching full-zip coach track jacket and tailored track pants carry the same stealthy tonal pattern and bright red detailing.
Alongside the tracksuit is a bold red pullover hoodie featuring dark, centered chest emblems and "YNWA" typography printed on the sleeve cuff. Rounding out the lineup is a relaxed-fitting black t-shirt that displays the stacked red logos on the chest, a jacquard "YNWA" pattern knitted into the ribbed crew collar, and an oversized red "YNWA" wordmark across the lower back hem. The new Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR range is expected to launch in the coming months.
Black & Gold Liverpool 26-27 Lifestyle Shirt Leaked - Official Images
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool 26-27 special-edition lifestyle and pre-match shirt have surfaced online, providing the clearest look yet at the luxurious black and gold design. Known unofficially as the "Gold Leaf" jersey, the shirt is set to release during the 26-27 season as part of Adidas's off-pitch and culture range for the club. Big thanks to @KamilBerberler.
The shirt features a stealth black foundation covered by an intricate metallic gold diamond lattice pattern across the front and back of the torso. Each diamond enclosure contains an ornate floral damask motif inspired by traditional Southeast Asian art, honoring Liverpool's vast Thai fanbase. A classic Adidas Trefoil logo appears on the right chest alongside the Liver bird crest on the left, both applied in matching gold.
Completing the design are solid black sleeves and a crossover V-neck collar detailed with a gold inner trim. Tailored as a high-fashion crossover rather than a competitive match kit, this special-edition pre-match and lifestyle shirt will be available in the 26-27 season.
