All-New Puma Future 2018 World Cup Boots Prototype Leaked
Aug 13, 2017, by Pat
Update: Dutch football boot specialists Voetbalshirtjes have published several new pictures of Puma's all-new Netfit soccer cleats, revealing more details of the boot that replaces the evoPOWER.
Puma will release a brand-new football boot early next year. Called the Puma Future Netfit, this 2018 World Cup soccer cleat will make use of the German brand's all-new lacing system, Netfit.
Puma Future Netfit Prototype
This is the first image of the brand-new Puma Future Netfit football boot.
The new Puma Future Netfit boots have a knitted upper that is combined with the hexagonal grid of the Puma Netfit lacing system along the sides.
Puma Netfit was introduced earlier this year as the brand's latest innovation. Featuring a hexagonal grid instead of traditional lace holes, it allows for practically endless possibilities in lacing the shoe. This way, Puma aims to provide athletes with better way to adjust fit and prevent discomfort.
The one-piece upper construction of the Puma Future Netfit 2018 World Cup boots comes with a heightened collar that is shaped in a unique way with peaks at the front and back. The collar part is ribbed, especially at the front, in what we believe is an effort to reduce friction.
Finally, what we can see of the sole plate features a combination of bladed and conical studs, in order to supply balanced traction that suits more than one type of players.

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.

AC Milan Honor Legend With Special Franco Baresi Patch
In their Serie A season opener against Torino, AC Milan debuted a special patch on their shirts to honour club legend Franco Baresi, who passed away in July at the age of 66.
The commemorative patch features the message “6 per sempre” (“No. 6 forever”), referencing Baresi's iconic shirt number, which was permanently retired by the Rossoneri. Each character was selected from thousands of handwritten messages left by supporters following his passing.
Worn on the left sleeve, the patch will feature on the shirts of Milan's men's team, women's team and youth teams throughout the 2026/27 season. A beautiful and deeply personal tribute to one of the greatest figures in the club's history.
