Update #3: Andres Iniesta has worn whiteout football boots in Vissel Kobe's 3-5 loss against Kawasaki Frontale. While it was previously not known what exactly his whiteout boots are, the close-up pictures confirm that his whiteout soccer cleats are the Asics X-Fly 3 boots.

We expect that Iniesta will officially join Asics in the coming months.
Update #2: Andres Iniesta has debuted the blackout Asics X-Fly 3 soccer cleats in the last league match with Vissel Kobe, pretty much confirming that he has left Nike. It seems to be only a matter of time until Asics will officially announce the deal, similar to Torres' Mizuno boot deal.

Update: It seem like that Iniesta did not wear blackout Mizuno Morelia Neo II football boots in training but Asics X-Fly 3football boots. Asics is also the kit maker of his team Vissel Kobe, interestingly. Stay tuned for more info in the coming days. Thanks to Botas de Jugadores for the spot.
Some days ago, Fernando Torres debuted whiteout Mizuno football boots in his match with his Japanese club Sagan Tosu. Now former FC Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has ditched his Nike football boot for what could very well be blackout Mizuno football boots.
Iniesta had always been with Nike during his professional career. He received a special Nike Magista football boot for his last FC Barcelona matches last season. He still laced up in the discontinued Nike Magista football boots for his new club Vissel Kobe this season.
Andres Iniesta Trains in Blackout Boots - Possible Blackout Mizuno Morelia Neo II
The close-up pictures of Andres Iniesta's cleats do not certainly reveal which cleats he is wearing. However, it seems most likely that the Spanish legend was wearing Mizuno Morelia Neo II soccer cleats with a completely blackout upper.
The Mizuno Morelia Neo II MIJ football boots are made in Japan for quality at the highest level. They feature a super soft premium Kangaroo leather upper while weighing in at just 180 grams, making them one of the lightest K-leather boots available on the market.
The fact that Andres Iniesta wore blackout soccer cleats most likely means that his contract with Nike has ended. It is very well possible that he will join Japanese brand Mizuno, similar to Fernando Torres.

Turkey 2026 World Cup Pre-Match Shirt Revealed - Streamlined Nike Template for Smaller Nations
Nike's preparations for the 2026 World Cup are being finalized with the reveal of the new Turkey pre-match shirt.
Rather than receiving a bespoke design, the new Nike Turkey 2026 World Cup pre-match jersey utilizes a highly visible, streamlined template that the American sportswear brand will be rolling out across its wider portfolio of sponsored national federations.
The defining feature of the Turkey 2026 pre-match shirt is its bold, all-over geometric graphic. The template consists of tightly packed, wavy zig-zag lines that warp and curve to create a dynamic optical illusion across the entire torso and sleeves. For the Turkish national team, this busy pattern is executed in vibrant, contrasting shades of red and dark orange.
Nike is applying this exact same streamlined template to several other national teams, simply adjusting the color palettes to suit each country. European sides like Norway and Finland, alongside South American heavyweights Uruguay, will all sport identical pre-match designs featuring their respective national colors applied to the same wavy graphic.
What are your thoughts on Nike utilizing a shared, streamlined template for its 2026 national team pre-match shirts? Let us know in the comments below.
Nike and Kids of Immigrants Goalkeeper Jersey + Total 90 Shoes Released
Nike and streetwear label Kids of Immigrants have officially unveiled a comprehensive collaborative capsule collection. This wider release expands significantly upon the retro football aesthetic, offering a full range of apparel, accessories, and highly unique modified footwear.
The undeniable centerpiece of the expanded collection is the introduction of two bespoke slip-on mules, which draw heavy inspiration from the iconic Nike Total 90 football boot. The mules arrive in two distinct colorways: a muted beige and olive green iteration featuring a speckled sole, alongside a darker, glossy black and rich brown patent leather version. Both pairs are unified by a striking red and yellow outlined Swoosh on the midfoot and tongue, matching the vibrant accents found on the collection's primary jersey.
Rounding out the collaborative effort is a selection of matching apparel and accessories designed to complete the capsule. The standout piece of these other items is a special 1990s keeper kit.
