Leaving Nike? Mauro Icardi Trains in Unbranded Blackout Boots
Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi has prompted speculation that he could be about to leave Nike after wearing a pair of blacked-out boots in training recently.
Icardi, who joined Nike shortly after his transfer to Inter - he had been wearing Adidas cleats before - laced up in what was identified as a pair of blackout Hypervenom GX boots. Icardi was won of a few select Nike forwards who promoted the special-edition boots back in last October.
This latest spot could mean that Icardi is indeed about to move to another brand or that he just prefers the silky k-leather touch of the Hypervenom GX. It will be key to to see which boots Icardi will choose for Inter's Serie A opener, away to Sassuolo on Sunday evening.

MLS Players Wear Their National Flags on Kits Ahead of 2026 World Cup
Major League Soccer last weekend hosted a dedicated "Farewell Week" to send off its international stars. To mark the occasion, all clubs across the domestic league took to the pitch wearing specially customized kits that honored the various nations represented within their squads.
The most prominent visual update to the MLS uniforms was the addition of official national flags printed directly on the chest for all players and coaching staff. In a highly thoughtful and personalized touch, the league provided specialized double-flag variations for athletes holding dual citizenship. This bespoke detail allowed these specific players to proudly represent both their current homelands and their heritage simultaneously before joining their respective national team camps.
Beyond the chest graphics, teams also sported a unique set of squad numbers on the back of their shirts, featuring a custom pattern made up of the flags of all 48 countries participating in this summer's World Cup.
What do you think of this customized flag concept for the MLS World Cup Farewell Week? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
