Adidas-Sponsored Lucas Ocampos Borrows Nike Boots From Teammate
- The Game: Lucas Ocampos' team won 3-0, with Ocampos scoring one of the goals.
- Boot Switch: Ocampos, an Adidas-sponsored player, switched to Nike boots mid-game.
- Reason for Switch: Ocampos borrowed the Nike boots from a teammate due to problems with his Adidas boots.
It was a very special and successful day for Olympique Marseille's Lucas Ocampos yesterday. His team not only won 3-0 against Metz to reach the second place of France's Ligue 1, Lucas Ocampos also scored the third goal of the evening. However, he was not wearing his usual Adidas Nemeziz Boots but Nike Magista Obra cleats...
Adidas Nemeziz Ambassador Lucas Ocampos Borrows Nike Magista Obra Boots From His Teammate Dória
Lucas Ocampos' teammate Dória was quick to share special story on Instagram.
Lucas Ocampos started the match wearing the brand-new Adidas Nemeziz boots from the Skystalker collection, while he surprisingly switched to the Nike Magista Obra boots for the second half. However, while such a boot switch is already quite uncommon, the case with Ocampos is even more special.
Likely having problems with his new Adidas Nemeziz 17.1 soccer boots that he received from Adidas a few days ahead of the match, Lucas Ocampos has probably asked in the half time as anyone got boots for him in his size. His teammate Dória, who didn't played the match, then gave him his Nike Magista Obra boots, with which Ocampos should score in the second half.

FIFA Denies Guillermo Ochoa 2026 World Cup Legacy Patch Over Appearance Rules
Guillermo Ochoa has been denied the chance to wear FIFA's new legacy patch at the 2026 World Cup. Despite being selected for six World Cup tournaments spanning from 2006 to 2026, the Mexican goalkeeper does not meet the strict criteria set by FIFA. The governing body requires players to have made on-pitch appearances in at least five different World Cups to qualify for the special badge.
Ochoa did not play any minutes during the 2006 and 2010 tournaments, meaning he has only registered on-pitch appearances in three World Cups prior to the 2026 edition. Because of this, FIFA officially refused to award him the patch. Other veterans playing in the tournament, such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric, Manuel Neuer, and Yuto Nagatomo, have received the legacy patch for meeting the five-tournament appearance threshold.
The Mexican Football Federation is reportedly planning to push for a reconsideration of the ruling. If Ochoa features in a match during the 2026 tournament, the federation intends to appeal FIFA's decision in hopes of securing the legacy patch for the veteran goalkeeper.
