Jul 6, 2017, by Pat

This image shows the Magnetic Storm pack Adidas X 17.1 football boot.
Predominantly black, the Magnetic Storm edition of the Adidas X 17 features the same "polka dot" pattern as the summer's other paint jobs, although in much more reserved fashion. The understated base of the Adidas X 17.1 boots is accompanied by tonal logos with a subtle iridescent finish on both sides.
Tech-wise, the Adidas X 17 Magnetic Storm boots are the same as the white and blue launch colorway and are also more or less identical to the X 16.1. Designed to reduce wear-in time and offer a firm fit, the Adidas X 17.1 has a techfit compression upper. Lacing and traction are the same as on the previous generation, and the upper once again features a thin NSG (Non-Stop Grip) texture.

- One-piece techfit compression upper
- NSG (Non-Stop Grip) upper texture
- Sprintframe outsole
- Chaos stud alignment
On sale from July 6, the black-iridescent Adidas X 17 Magnetic Storm boots retail at 200 USD (220 EUR, 180 GBP).
As most times with the more understated editions, the Magnetic Storm Adidas X boots are not expected to receive a lot on-pitch support from the likes of Gareth Bale or Luis Suárez.

Spezia Calcio 26-27 Third Kit Released
Kappa and Italian club Spezia Calcio have officially unveiled their new third kit for the 26-27 season. Titled "Liberty Soul," the new strip draws direct inspiration from the local decorative art and architecture of La Spezia.
The Spezia Calcio 26-27 third shirt comes in a rich garnet base, overlaid with an intricate tonal floral pattern inspired by the Liberty-style stained-glass windows adorning historic buildings throughout the city. Clean white accents provide contrast on the Kappa logos, the club crest on the left chest, and the main shirt sponsor. Honoring club heritage, Spezia's historic 1944 championship badge is placed on the upper back below the collar.
The new third kit completes the club's 26-27 collection alongside the white 120th-anniversary home shirt and the black-and-gold away jersey. It is available to purchase now via Spezia's official online store.

Napoli Women 26-27 Away Kit Released
Following the launch of their ocean-themed home strip, Napoli Women have unveiled their new away kit for the 26-27 season. Produced in partnership with Swedish brand Craft and creative agency Modì, the jersey represents the second chapter of the club's "Dagli abissi al cielo" (From the abyss to the sky) narrative concept.
The design draws unique inspiration from Urania, the Neapolitan protagonist of Ernesto Capocci's 1857 proto-science fiction novella about the first woman to journey to the Moon. Capocci, a famed astronomer and former director of Naples' Capodimonte Observatory, penned the story nearly a decade before Jules Verne. To reflect this lunar theme, the shirt adopts muted gray and lilac tones paired with a crater-like lunar soil texture across the raglan sleeves, side panels, and shorts. A crisp white panel on the upper back features the inscription "To the Moon," while the chest carries Napoli Women's new emblem rendered in pearl-white 3D PVC.

The strip adopts a sleek, dark steel gray aesthetic characterized by a subtle diagonal wave pattern across the torso, paired with monochrome white applications for the embroidered club badge, Macron Hero, and front-of-shirt sponsor Wham, who return for their tenth consecutive campaign. Rounded off with dark shorts and socks featuring Fagan & Whalley branding, the new alternate strip is now available to purchase through the club's online store and physical retail shop.
