All-New Adidas Nemeziz Messi 17 Debut Colorway Released
Jun 29, 2017, by Pat
Following up on the white-black launch colorway, Adidas has finally released the first Messi-exclusive paint job for its new Nemeziz model. Set to be taken up by Messi in the 2017-18 preseason, these black Adidas Nemeziz Messi 17 cleats are part of the Dust Storm pack.
Adidas Nemeziz Messi 17 - Core Black / White / Solar Yellow
Predominantly black, this new Adidas Nemeziz Messi 17 soccer boots feature the trademark striping prevalent on the upper of all Nemeziz cleats in a more understated way.
This helps make the large Messi brandings along the medical tape-inspired parts of the design of the Adidas Nemeziz Messi 17 cleat stand out even more. White Adidas stripes on the outstep complete the design alongside bright yellow trim on the sole plate.
Tech-wise, this Messi edition is identical to the regular Adidas Nemeziz 17 football boots.
The Adidas Nemeziz Messi boot is made for perfect lockdown, agility and speed. It features an all-new Dual Lock Collar construction around the ankle, a 360 Torsion Tape and an Agility Bandage System, all aspects that make it the optimal fit for players like Lionel Messi himself.
Released on June 29, two weeks after the rest of the Adidas Dust Storm collection, the first-ever Nemeziz Messi 17 boots retails at a slightly higher price than the regular Nemeziz boots - 160 GBP (210 USD, 210 Euro).

Austrian club SC Austria Lustenau has unveiled a special-edition jersey, dubbed the "Vintage" kit, created in collaboration with Italian brand Erreà. The limited-edition shirt was launched for the friendly match against German giants FC Schalke 04 at the Sun Minimeal Arena.
The Erreà Austria Lustenau 26-27 "Vintage" jersey comes in an off-white cream base adorned with a subtle all-over floral damask pattern. It is complemented by a dark green polo collar with dual gold pinstripes, an aesthetic echoed on the matching ribbed sleeve cuffs. To complete the clean retro look, the club crest, Erreà chest logo, and Sun Minimeal front sponsor are all rendered in monochrome dark green.
On the back, the retro styling continues with an elegant serif typeface in green for the player names and squad numbers. The release represents another custom design from Erreà in their first season outfitting the Austrian side, after taking over the club's technical contract ahead of the 26-27 campaign.
Betting Ban: Brazilian Club Vila Nova Announce BYD Main Shirt Sponsor Deal
Brazilian club Vila Nova FC has officially announced Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD as its new primary front-of-shirt sponsor. Described by the club as the largest commercial partnership in its history, the agreement places the BYD logo prominently on the chest of the team's Volt Sport kits through the end of 2026, with an option to extend into 2027.
The sponsorship is executed in collaboration with Saga, an authorized dealership network representing BYD in Brazil, whose small logo appears directly underneath the main BYD mark. The automotive manufacturer replaces previous shirt sponsor Bet da Sorte, following a wave of regulatory restrictions on betting companies operating in Brazilian football.
Currently fighting at the top of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B table and chasing promotion to the top flight, Vila Nova is set to debut the redesigned shirts immediately. The landmark agreement secures vital financial stability for the club's promotion push while expanding BYD's growing footprint across South American football.
