Better Look + Design Predicion: Asensio Trains in Stunning 2010 Nike Mercurial Superfly VI Boots
Apr 18, 2018, by Pat
Update: New pictures from the Real Madrid training confirm the boots worn by Asensio as a special edition inspired by the iconic 2010 World Cup colorway.
@gunt22 created the design prediction you can see below.
Real Madrid wonderkid Marco Asensio trained in a pair of never-seen-before Nike Mercurial Superfly VI boots, sparking speculation about what Nike has lined up next for the Speed silo. Thanks to asvpnj for the heads-up.
The cleats worn by Asensio have a light upper with a large black Swoosh on the outstep, unlike any Mercurial Superfly 6 before them. Although unfortunately we cannot see a lot, it appears there's a bit of orange towards the heel area of the boots - taking a bit of a guess we think they are inspired by the iconic 2010 World Cup Mercurials (pictured below).
Four years ago, Nike released the 'Fast Forward' pack which brought back the 2010 edition amongst others based on the Mercurial Vapor IX.

No More Nike: Adidas Croatia 2026 Training Kits Revealed
Following their switch from Nike to Adidas, Croatia's new training kit set for 2026 have been unveiled in the latest training camp for youth teams' goalkeepers.
However from what we've seen, both of the new jerseys are simply from Adidas Tiro 26 League template range, using default black and grey color choices. These are very likely just temporary options for the mean time, until the actual designs with probably bespoke colorways are officially released.
