Leaked: Next-Gen Nike Mercurial Takedown Boots Feature ACC
Lower-tier Nike football boot models will feature Nike ACC for the first time ever with the launch of the next-generation Nike Mercurial football boot, we can reveal. The first takedown Nike football boots with All Conditions Control (ACC) technology are set to be released this week.
Nike's All Conditions Control technology was introduced in 2012. Nike ACC technology allows the boot's surface to maintain the same level of friction, touch and control on the ball in wet and dry conditions. The ACC benefit is created by a special treatment during the development of the upper materials to deliver a consistent feel on the ball at all times.
Second-Best Lower-Tier Nike Mercurial Boots to Feature All Conditions Control technology
The second-tier Nike Mercurial Superfly VI Pro model will feature Nike's ACC technology.
Both second-best low-top (Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 Pro) and high-top (Nike Mercurial Superfly VI Pro) next-generation Nike Mercurial football boots will feature Nike ACC technology, just as the high-end next-generation Nike Mercurial 2018 football boots (Nike Mercurial Superfly VI Elite & Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 Elite).
You may be wondering why the models are called Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 Pro and Nike Mercurial Superfly VI Elite and may be asking if they are all-new models. No, they are not all-new models but were previously known as Nike Mercurial Veloce. Find out more about Nike's new boot names.
Whereas the second-tier Nike Mercurial 2018 soccer cleat models will feature Nike All Conditions Control technology, the even cheaper versions will come without Nike's cutting-edge upper finish material.

Stunning Fortuna Köln 2026 Regional Cup Final Kit Released
German side SC Fortuna Köln has released a highly limited special-edition kit to wear during their upcoming 2026 Mittelrheinpokal final. Produced by Dutch sportswear brand Robey, this exclusive release celebrates the club's first appearance in the regional cup final in six years, as they look to secure the trophy for the first time in 13 years.
The Robey SC Fortuna Köln 2026 Cup Final shirt introduces a striking tri-color gradient design that provides a highly bespoke look for the occasion. The top of the jersey begins in a deep navy blue, smoothly fading into a vibrant light blue chest band before transitioning into a clean white lower half.
Adding a premium, historic touch to the kit, all application details - including the Robey manufacturer branding, the central 'HIT' sponsor, and a classic standalone 'F' retro crest - are executed in metallic gold. A subtle light blue V-neck collar and matching sleeve cuffs complete the sophisticated aesthetic.
Priced at €75, this exclusive release serves as a unique collector's item for supporters of the Regionalliga West side. Curiously, while releasing this kit, the club has actively pushed an "All in Red" (Alle in Rot) motto for the fans attending the match, asking supporters to create a sea of red in the stands despite the team wearing their special-edition colors on the pitch.

Aston Villa to Wear Third Kit with Charity Sponsor in Europa League Final
Aston Villa has officially confirmed they will wear their 2025-2026 Adidas third kit for the upcoming UEFA Europa League Final against SC Freiburg in Istanbul.
The decision was made due to a direct kit clash with the German side's traditional all-red home strip, forcing the Premier League club out of their iconic claret and blue. Furthermore, due to strict betting licensing regulations in Turkey, the club's principal partner, Betano, cannot be legally displayed on the jerseys. In response, the space is used by the Aston Villa Foundation for the historic showpiece event.
This special-edition jersey also features the Aston Villa Foundation branding across the chest in matching purple typography, sitting just below a commemorative Match ID text that marks the May 20 final at Besiktas Park.
Recognizing the historical significance of this unique uniform, the club is making the charity edition available to the public. Supporters can purchase these limited-edition shirts, complete with the foundation branding and central match details, in both authentic and replica versions from official club stores.
This rare combination of an alternate kit, a one-off charity sponsor, and European final detailing instantly makes this release a highly sought-after piece for shirt collectors.
