Nike Mercurial Vapor XII Elite - White / Metallic Grey / Total Orange
This is the Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 World Cup edition.
Dropping the trademark toebox Swoosh placement of the regular paint jobs in favor of a lateral one - just like on the recent Neymar signature editions - the Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 Elite 2018 World Cup boots are predominantly white. The 'M' branding on the heel is also dropped for the white Nike Mercurial Vapor XII 2018 World Cup cleats.
Silver metallic brandings and orange and purple details complete the design which features a bold, iridescent sole plate finish.
Identical to the Superfly 6 apart from the lower collar, the Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 Elite boots are the first of their kind to feature a one-piece all-Flyknit upper. Other key features include the 360° Flyknit construction that wraps around the foot and the split sole plate.
Nike Mercurial Vapor XII - Features

Portuguesa 2026 Third Kit Released - Tribute to Portugal Ahead of 2026 World Cup
Brazilian club Associação Portuguesa de Desportos, commonly known as Portuguesa, has officially launched its new third kit for the 2026 season. Produced by technical sponsor Joma, the new uniform pays direct homage to the Portuguese national team, celebrating the club's deep historical roots as Portugal prepares to compete in the upcoming 2026 World Cup.
The new Portuguesa 2026 third jersey closely mirrors the classic look of the Portuguese national team, featuring a vibrant crimson red base enhanced by subtle jacquard detailing that provides a sense of movement to the fabric. The shirt is structured with a classic polo collar adorned with red and white edging and a green front point insert. The sleeves remain red with contrasting green underarm panels, while the cuffs match the collar's red and white trim.
Further solidifying the international tribute, the official coat of arms of Portugal is prominently displayed on the nape of the neck above the white player numbering. The alternative uniform is completed by green shorts and red socks, finalizing the classic Portuguese color scheme.
The kit is set to make its on-pitch debut this Saturday, May 16th, in a match against Água Santa.
Athletico Paranaense 26-27 Away Kit Released
Athletico Paranaense and Umbro have officially launched the Brazilian club's new away jersey for the 2026-2027 season. It will make its on-pitch debut in the Copa do Brasil against Atlético Goianiense.
The new Athletico Paranaense 2026-2027 away kit is white, with the traditional team colors prominently featured through a striking red and black gradient effect applied across the shoulders.
The uniform is further detailed with various subtle graphic elements referencing the history and symbols of the club, which are placed on the inside of the collar, the back hem, and within the custom numbering.
