David Villa Wears Joma Joma Propulsion Lite Boots in First 2018 Training Session
David Villa laced up in the Lime Joma Propulsion Lite soccer cleats in training.
David Villa totally surprisingly did not lace up in Adidas Nemeziz football boot that he used last year but in Joma's Propulsion Lite football boots in the first training session. This is a indicator that his contract with the Three Stripes has ended, even though he switched back to Adidas X boots in the second training session.
The Joma Propulsion Lite football shoes are Joma's speed silo. They feature an one-piece lightweight microfiber upper as well as a lightweight outsole with an external heel counter for ultimate acceleration and speed. David Villa laced up in the eye-catching Lime colorway of the boots.
David Villa had been wearing Adidas boots for almost his entire career. What many not know is that he made his first official matches at senior level wearing Nike Mercurial football boots before joining the Three Stripes.

England 2026 World Cup Kit Font Prepared with Laser
Football kit retailer @subsidesports has offered a behind-the-scenes look into their printing operations ahead of the 2026 World Cup. In a recent social media update, the company shared a video of their heat press machinery in action, highlighting the process behind their Fan Style customization service. This service utilizes official typefaces and plotter sheets to apply names and numbers to replica shirts, ensuring an authentic look for supporters.
The short video features what eagle-eyed followers suspect to be a Transmatic REV 5SA heat press, a heavy-duty machine used for professional garment decoration.
One standout detail is that they used lasers to ensure the names and numbers were placed with absolute precision on the back of the jerseys. It’s a testament to Subside Sports’ commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Adidas Teams Twinned by Product Code & Design
Update - Sunday, June 7, 2026: As spotted Indonesian jersey experts @Jerseyforum, Adidas teams with the same design also share the product. In particular, they do not have the usual Team + Shirt Type Name (e.g. FCB A 26 JSY), but are called Custom Licensed Jersey (CULIC26 JSY).
Templates are not as common as they were in the past, but smaller Adidas teams still do not have custom designs always. In the outgoing 25-26 season, teams such as Düsseldorf, Al Ahly, and Sparta Praha all used the same Locker Room design with custom colors.
