A pale look, the third Adidas Lionel Messi Nemeziz 18 boots are powder blue. The upper features tonal brandings such as Three Stripes and the Messi branding.
Features-wise, the pale blue Adidas Nemeziz 18 boots are the same as the launch edition. Made for the creator, the Adidas Nemeziz soccer shoes have a unique bandage construction inspired by sports taping. The bandages stretch in one direction, but lock out in the other. The result is a shoe that delivers both compressive support plus complete flexibility to make gamechanging moves.

Adidas x Poland
We finally got the first detailed information about the return of the Three Stripes to Poland. More very soon.
Giant Adidas Three Stripes on Long-Sleeve Kits Overwhelm Aesthetic
Adidas introduced enlarged Three Stripes across its performance templates ahead of the 2026 World Cup, rolling the look out across club teams for the 26-27 season. Designed to maximize on-pitch brand visibility, the wider striping measures around 18mm across. However, its competitive rollout has drawn criticism from kit enthusiasts and fans who feel the oversized proportions overwhelm the aesthetic balance of modern kits.
The visual disruption is especially noticeable on long-sleeved shirts. When worn on the pitch by players like Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, the thick white stripes command the shoulders and arms, dwarfing surrounding elements like the collar and sleeve patches. While short-sleeved shirts offer breaks in coverage, the continuous run of oversized stripes down full-length sleeves makes the branding feel excessively dominant.
Despite the pushback, Adidas will retain this oversized stripe template through at least the 27-28 campaign.
SK Brann 2026 Third Kit Released
Norwegian club SK Brann and Nike have officially unveiled their new third kit for the 2026 season, paying tribute to the club's historic 1976 Norwegian Cup-winning side on its 50th anniversary.
The jersey is predominantly white, highlighted by red vertical striping running down the right chest behind the red Nike Swoosh, red sponsor branding, and a monochrome red club crest. Debuted on pitch during their Eliteserien away clash against Sandefjord, the new release completes Brann's 2026 kit collection alongside their previously launched home and away shirts.
