Puma To Discontinue Puma evoSPEED and evoTOUCH Boots
Apr 2, 2017, by Chris
Puma will discontinue both the evoSPEED and evoTOUCH football boot silos in Summer 2017, we can reveal. The Puma evoSPEED was launched in 2012, whereas the Puma evoTOUCH was just launched in July 2016.
Puma to Launch All-New 'One' Football Boot Silo
There has been five generations of the Puma evoSPEED.
Introduced in 2012, the Puma evoSPEED football boot silo replaced the Puma V series. The German brand since then additionally launched two other new boot silos, the evoPOWER (made for power) that will not be discontinued and the evoTOUCH (made for control).
Puma evoSPEED players such as Marco Reus, Antoine Griezmann and Sergio Agüero will switch to the Puma One football boot. All Puma evoTOUCH players such as Cesc Fabregas will also sport the Puma One football boots next season.
Interestingly, there are currently 134 players in Europe's top 5 leagues who were the evoPOWER, 148 players who wear the evoSPEED but just 3 players who sport the evoTOUCH (Fabregas, Cazorla and Verratti [will leave Puma and wears a blackout evoTOUCH boot] - via footballbootsdb.com).
Do you think it's a good idea to ditch the evoSPEED soccer boots after five years and the evoTOUCH soccer cleats after just one season? Were you a fan of the Puma evoTOUCH? Do you like that Puma keeps the evoPOWER? Let us know in the comments below.
Tottenham Reveal Custom Embroidered "Sydney Special" Nameset by Rhapzo
During Tottenham Hotspur's pre-season tour in Australia, the North London club teamed up with custom embroidery artist Rhapzo to showcase a bespoke nameset for their 26-27 home kit. Unveiled at the club's pop-up venue, Spurs House in Sydney, the special design pays homage to iconic local landmarks while celebrating the team's visit down under.
The custom nameset features intricate white embroidered back numbers incorporating a stitched graphic of the famous Sydney Opera House near the base of each digit. A thin golden accent line runs through the core of the numbers to meet a mini Spurs cockerel crest, while the club's motto "to dare is to do" is delicately embroidered in cursive script underneath.
The player names above are rendered in white with a black border.

FSV Frankfurt 26-27 Home Kit Released
German Regionalliga Südwest club FSV Frankfurt and kit supplier Erima have officially launched the team's new home kit for the 26-27 season. The release comes shortly after the presentation of the club's new away uniform in mid-July.
The Erima FSV Frankfurt 26-27 home jersey brings back a bold look in the traditional black and blue club colors, utilizing wide horizontal hoops across the front torso. White panels along the sides and shoulders add contrast, alongside subtle white accents on the collar rim and sleeve trims. Main sponsor Ludwig Hofmann is printed in white across the chest, complemented by the club crest on the left chest and white Erima branding.
Black shorts and black socks complete the new Erima FSV Frankfurt 26-27 home uniform, which is now officially available for purchase through the club's online store.
No Adidas Logo: Charly Mexico U23 Kits Released
Mexico's U23 squad has received brand-new Charly kits ahead of their campaign at the 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games (Juegos Centroamericanos y del Caribe).
Fans expecting to see the customary Adidas three stripes on El Tri's youth delegation might be caught off guard, but there is a distinct structural reason behind the supplier swap for this tournament.
While the main national team and the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) are sponsored by Adidas, multi-sport events within the Olympic cycle fall directly under the governance of the Comité Olímpico Mexicano (COM). Domestic sportswear brand Charly holds the official apparel rights for all athletes representing the Mexican Olympic Committee through the 2028 Los Angeles Games, resulting in the U23 football squad dressing in Charly uniforms for these games.
The new Mexico U23 2026 home jersey features a deep green base highlighted by subtle tonal vertical stripes running down the front. The design is finished with a traditional polo collar and sleeve cuffs trimmed in red and dark green accents. Instead of the FMF crest, the chest displays the official Mexican Olympic Committee logo alongside Charly's emblem, paired with green shorts and white socks.
