Crazy Adidas Copa Mid Gore-Tex Boots Released
Nov 6, 2018, by Pat
Originally leaked more than a year ago, the Adidas Copa 17 Mid Gore Tex football boots were finally released yesterday. Although it was speculated about in the run-up to release, in the end they didn't form part of the Cold Mode pack.
Whatever the reason for this delay, Adidas has made quite a few changes compared to the original leak from October 2017. Maybe there were some issues with the boots which led to them being canned. Compare the two versions via the image below. The sole plate is now matte, the color of the pull tab was altered, and the upper seems more pillowy.

Combining the Adidas Copa boots with a higher collar and Gore-Tex shielding, the Adidas Copa Mid GTX cleats are perfect for the colder weather during the winter months.
Design-wise, they are very understated. The later part of the Adidas Copa Mid Gore-Tex soccer boots is black, while the neoprene collar is military green. The outsole is black with a matte finish.

Concept: What If World Cup Winners Wore Special Badges on Club Kits?
A creative concept visualized by Bleacher Report has sparked discussion among kit enthusiasts, posing an intriguing question: what if players who have won the FIFA World Cup were allowed to wear a special champion badge on their club kits? Under current FIFA equipment regulations, only reigning national team champions and Club World Cup winners are permitted to sport the official FIFA Champions Badge, but bringing an individual achievement patch to the club stage introduces a bold twist to modern shirt details.
The mockups feature World Cup winners wearing a sleek, gold trophy silhouette on their kit sleeves stamped with the year of their international triumph. The concept envisions players like Lionel Messi donning a 2022 patch on his Inter Miami shirt, Kylian Mbappé carrying a 2018 badge in Real Madrid white, and Rodri sporting a 2026 mark. It serves as an immediate visual marker of football's ultimate honor, staying with the player regardless of their club transfers.
In reality, domestic leagues and confederations enforce strict uniform guidelines that limit sleeve real estate almost entirely to league badges, sleeve sponsors, and charitable campaign logos. While regulatory hurdles make such a badge virtually impossible in professional football, the visualization offers a clean and compelling look at how personal legacy could be integrated into club kits.
Inter Milan 26-27 Third Kit Debuted
Inter Milan officially debuted their new Nike 26-27 third kit on the pitch during a dramatic 5-3 Serie A comeback victory against Udinese at the San Siro, just hours after its official unveiling.
Taking inspiration from the Nerazzurri's iconic look from the late 1990s, notably referencing the 1997-98 and 1998-99 shirts. the new third kit is built on a stone-grey 'Iron Ore' base featuring a subtle tonal jacquard pattern. The centerpiece of the design is a prominent black horizontal chest band accented by a thin 'Blue Spark' lower stripe. Bright 'Speed Yellow' details are applied to the Swoosh, the two-starred club crest, the Betsson.sport sponsor, and retro-styled 1990s font names and numbers.
