Dani Alves to Leave Nike for Adidas?
Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil right back Dani Alves returned to training after a long injury wearing Adidas football boots instead of his usual choice, the Nike Mercurial Vapor 360.
Dani Alves had been sponsored by Nike in the first years of his career. He joined Adidas in 2010 using the brand's Adizero F50 and Nitrocharge boots, while he returned to Nike in Fall 2015. He has been wearing Nike soccer cleats since then, mainly the Nike Mercurial.
Dani Alves Trains in Adidas X 18+ Boots Before Returning to Mercurials
Dani Alves laced up in the latest Adidas X 18+ soccer boots in his first training session after his long injury, which is usually a good indicator that he could join the Three Stripes.
However, a switch from Dani Alves to Adidas seems anything but certain - the Brazil right back laced up in the Volt Nike Mercurial Vapor 360 soccer cleats ahead of the Champions League clash against Napoli.

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.
