Set to star at the 2018 World Cup, Nike this evening officially revealed the next generation Nike Mercurial Superfly 6, or 'Superfly 360' how it's also called. A bold look that is certain to grab everyone's attention on the field, the Nike Mercurial Superfly VI Elite football boots will be available to buy starting 14 February, 2018.
Nike Mercurial Superfly VI - Total Orange / Black / Total Orange / Volt
This is the orange and black Nike Mercurial Superfly 6 Elite 2018 football boot.
A very clean look, the Nike Mercurial Superfly VI alternative launch colorway is almost entirely orange, with a black sole plate and black brandings, both featuring a more or less subtle iridescent effect.
The Swooshes, a small one in the toe area and a larger one on the instep have a subtle striped pattern. Finally, a bit of Volt on the inside of the collar completes the eye-catching design of the 'Total Orange' Nike Mercurial Superfly 6 2018 boots.
Tech-wise, the Nike Mercurial Superfly VI / 360 boots introduce a few changes, while retaining the key features of the previous generations. They have a one-piece Flyknit upper with a Dynamic Fit collar and are said to be building on the Flyknit Ultra model that was debuted in Fall 2017.
A first for Nike Flyknit, the material on the new Mercurial Superfly 6 wraps around the foot, something that Nike says will help provide a closer fit and less movement inside the shoe. It also enables the brand to reduce the material used for the sole plate by splitting the front and rear parts. This feature, called 'Flyknit 360' gives the boot its 'Superfly 360' name and will find its way to more Nike footwear products in the future.
The 3-D upper structure that has been compared to what could be found on Adidas' X 16 model, is one of the most prominent new features of the Nike Mercurial Superfly 6, alongside the split sole plate.
Revealed on February 7 2018, the orange Nike Mercurial Superfly VI Elite soccer cleats retail at USD 300 (EUR 290, GBP 250). They will be available to buy starting 14 February, 2018.

"Leak Or Not To Leak": Adidas Playfully Teases Juventus Kit Releases
Adidas Football has taken a cheeky and self-aware approach to modern kit culture by leaning directly into the world of shirt leaks. In a teaser shared across social media captioned "LEAK OR NOT TO LEAK, that’s the question", the brand presented a mock confidential desktop interface styled like an internal investigation into unreleased gear.
The desktop graphic features folders and case files centered around upcoming Juventus kits for the 26-27 campaign. Several genuine product codes are highlighted in the mockup, including KC2294 for the Juventus authentic third jersey and KR4646 for the pink away shirt. Surrounding these are playful folder labels such as "PRE-RELEASE LEAKERS" and "PERSONS OF INTEREST", along with mock file thumbnails referencing kit sightings, club mascot leaks, and questions over whether star youngster Kenan Yildiz leaked upcoming jerseys.
Rather than attempting to suppress early kit leaks, Adidas is embracing the surrounding fan culture and online discussion. By turning pre-release anticipation into an interactive campaign, the Three Stripes have found a clever way to generate excitement ahead of the official launches.

Muangthong United 26-27 Away Kit Released
Thai club Muangthong United have revealed their new away kit for the 26-27 campaign, crafted once again by local brand EGO Sport.
The Muangthong United 2026-27 away jersey introduces an ultra-clean, classic look. Built on an off-white base, the shirt features bright red accents on the polo-style collar and sleeve cuffs. All logos, including the club crest on the left chest, EGO branding, and long-time main sponsor Yamaha across the front, appear in monochromatic red.
Sleeve sponsors such as AirAsia and LEO round out the design, maintaining the red-and-white aesthetic throughout the entire kit.
Nike Sabrina 4 Outsole Sparks Comparisons to Ezeta Logo
Nike has unveiled the latest colorway of Sabrina Ionescu's signature basketball shoe, the Nike Sabrina 4 "The Switch". While the sneaker stands out with its vibrant blend of desert pink and lemon venom tones, a detailed look at the outsole has caught the attention of the football kit community for an unexpected reason.
The shoe's traction pattern features an intricate array of small, angled rubber lugs designed to deliver multi-directional court grip. However, numerous fans and followers noticed that the shape of these individual traction nubs looks remarkably similar to the geometric emblem of Italian sportswear brand Ezeta, prompting many to message the label's founders about the resemblance.
While the outsole pattern is undoubtedly Nike's performance-oriented traction engineered around Sabrina's signature identity, the visual likeness to Ezeta's mark is striking. Do you think this is purely a coincidence, or a curious case of parallel design?

Spanish Primera Federación side Unionistas de Salamanca and technical partner Erreà have officially unveiled the club's new home and away kits for the 26-27 season. Staying true to the club's fan-owned ethos, the designs were chosen directly by club members through an open design competition and multi-stage vote.
The Erreà Unionistas de Salamanca 26-27 home shirt stays true to tradition with a half-and-half black and white design, accented by subtle tonal vertical pinstripes across the front. Bright yellow trim details the collar and sleeve cuffs, while the back features a clean white panel with fine pinstripes to host player names and numbers.
Taking a bold and creative direction, the Unionistas 26-27 away jersey features a vibrant pink base that fades into deep navy tones towards the bottom hem. The shirt pays tribute to the local region by subtly embedding the names of all 362 municipalities in the province of Salamanca into the fabric graphic, while sleeve cuffs carry lyrics dedicated to the club's loyal travelling fanbase.
