Adidas X Copy? All-New Nike FTR10 & Next-Gen Nike Mercurial Prototype Boots Leaked
Dec 22, 2017, by Chris
Some days ago, we revealed that two blackout prototype soccer boots were unlike previously reported not two next-generation Adidas X cleats but two prototypes of Nike 2018 soccer shoes. Now we know what they are...
First Prototype (Left) - High-End Nike FTR10 Prototype Boots
The left boot is a prototype of Nike FTR10 football shoe. The all-new control cleat (Magista killer) features a 3-D control texture that covers almost the completely upper of the boots as well as an sock-line collar and a 'ghost-lacing system' (laces hidden under a thin extra layer).
Check out all about the Nike FTR10 football boots.
Second Prototype - Next-Gen Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 Prototype Boots
While it was easy to see that the first prototype is a prototype of the all-new Nike FTR10 soccer shoe, the second prototype is more hard to identify. At first glance, the boot looks very much like the Adidas X and Adidas X 17 football boots. However, the upper of the cleats appears to be similar to the Nike FTR10 soccer cleat. What is this boot?
It is an early prototype of the next-generation Nike Mercurial Vapor XII football boots that will be released in February 2018. Yeap,they are very similar to the Adidas X.
Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 - Final Prototype
What do you think of the all-new Nike FTR10 soccer cleat? Do you think the second prototype (Mercurial) it is a copy of the Adidas X? Let us know in the comments below and check out all boot leaks in the Boot Calendar.
Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR Collection Leaked
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool LFSTLR collection for the 26-27 season have surfaced online, courtesy of kit insider @KamilBerberler. Following the popular black and gold capsule from the previous campaign, the newest lifestyle range from Adidas Originals switches direction with a sleek black and vibrant red color palette, merging retro football heritage with contemporary streetwear design.
The standout piece of the collection is a long-sleeve lifestyle jersey finished in a deep black base with a subtle, tonal all-over graphic incorporating the iconic Liver bird. Contrasting vibrant red accents define the look, highlighting the classic Adidas Three Stripes running down the shoulders and sleeves, the ribbed cuffs, and centrally stacked Trefoil and Liver bird logos. A matching full-zip coach track jacket and tailored track pants carry the same stealthy tonal pattern and bright red detailing.
Alongside the tracksuit is a bold red pullover hoodie featuring dark, centered chest emblems and "YNWA" typography printed on the sleeve cuff. Rounding out the lineup is a relaxed-fitting black t-shirt that displays the stacked red logos on the chest, a jacquard "YNWA" pattern knitted into the ribbed crew collar, and an oversized red "YNWA" wordmark across the lower back hem. The new Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR range is expected to launch in the coming months.
Black & Gold Liverpool 26-27 Lifestyle Shirt Leaked - Official Images
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool 26-27 special-edition lifestyle and pre-match shirt have surfaced online, providing the clearest look yet at the luxurious black and gold design. Known unofficially as the "Gold Leaf" jersey, the shirt is set to release during the 26-27 season as part of Adidas's off-pitch and culture range for the club. Big thanks to @KamilBerberler.
The shirt features a stealth black foundation covered by an intricate metallic gold diamond lattice pattern across the front and back of the torso. Each diamond enclosure contains an ornate floral damask motif inspired by traditional Southeast Asian art, honoring Liverpool's vast Thai fanbase. A classic Adidas Trefoil logo appears on the right chest alongside the Liver bird crest on the left, both applied in matching gold.
Completing the design are solid black sleeves and a crossover V-neck collar detailed with a gold inner trim. Tailored as a high-fashion crossover rather than a competitive match kit, this special-edition pre-match and lifestyle shirt will be available in the 26-27 season.
QPR Kit Clash Against West Brom
QPR faced a major kit clash in their EFL Championship away game at West Brom, wearing their pink away shirt with blue shorts against West Brom's traditional blue-and-white home shirt.
The bright pink of QPR looked surprisingly similar to the white stripes of West Brom on TV, while the blue shorts and dark details made the overall contrast even less clear.
From the wide camera angle, the two teams became difficult to distinguish, creating a frustrating viewing experience for fans.
