Close-up with the boots worn by Rabiot.
Totally blackout to hide what he is wearing, the Adidas Predator 18.1 Rabiot boots are the same as the Predator cleats worn by the likes of Hummels, Neuer and Wink. Originating from the Adidas Ace football boots, the Adidas Predator 18.1 soccer cleats feature a high-cut collar and an upper with new rubber elements for better ball control. The elements are inspired by the trademark feature of the original Adidas Predator boots.
Rabiot usually laces up in Adidas Ace 17.1 football boots, which are set to be replaced by the Adidas Predator 18 officially in December 2017.

Deportivo Cali 1965 First Title Commemorative Kits Released
Colombian club Deportivo Cali and their technical sponsor Hillside have launched a special-edition capsule celebrating the club's historic first league championship won in 1965. The release consists of two retro-inspired jerseys — one in green and another in white — that pay tribute to the monumental title won over six decades ago.
Both shirts embrace a classic mid-60s aesthetic, anchored by an open polo-style collar. The green shirt features a contrasting white collar and cuffs, complemented by a tonal sublimated pattern of stripes, pennants, and historic club insignia across the fabric. In turn, the white version offers a clean, elegant look highlighted by rich emerald green trim. On the collar ribbing, knit detailing spells out "19 CAMPEÓN 65" in tribute to the landmark campaign.
Each jersey is adorned with a vintage Deportivo Cali crest topped by a single embroidered golden star representing that maiden triumph. Additional commemorative touches include a retro script Hillside graphic at the lower back and a stitched authentic crest patch near the hem displaying "Cali - Un Amor para toda la Vida 1912". The limited-edition pieces are delivered in custom collector's packaging alongside a certificate of authenticity.
