Three New Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl Prototypes Revealed
Jan 25, 2017, by Pat
Sitting down with Adidas Football employees Maurice Taylor and Max Gassner, Soccer's Daniel Kobin managed to grab a few very intriguing pictures of several prototype Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl boots. Check them out below.
First off, prototype Adidas Ace 17 cleats shown off by Taylor and Gassner feature an upper that's closer to the Ace 16 than the actual Ace 17.
On top of that, the structure of the upper, most noticeable on outside and front, is also completely different - not unlike what was seen on early leaks of the Ace 17. Interestingly, "Boss the Game" is written on the instep alongside the Ace logo, again nothing like the actual, released boot.
Colorway-wise, the three prototypes of the Ace 17+ PureControl that Adidas showed off here can be seen as early takes on the Red Limit, Blue Blast and Turbocharge pack colorways, the former two being already released and the latter set to drop in late March.
Do you prefer the prototype designs to the actual Adidas Ace 17+ PureControl? Comment below.

New 26-27 V.League 1 Logo and Sleeve Patch Released
Vietnam's top domestic league, V.League 1, has officially launched its brand-new competition logo and sleeve patch ahead of 26-27 season.
This follows Vietnam Professional Football (VPF) new brand identity across all three of the country's professional competitions: V.League 1, V.League 2, and the National Cup.
The newly introduced patch marks a major visual departure from previous designs, completely dropping the split dual-layout format (competition logo on one side, title sponsor logo on the other) used since 2018. The overall silhouette has also received a full overhaul, transitioning away from the hexagonal shape seen over the past six years to a sleek, rounded oval design.
