Not Only Puma - All Brands Who Have Stolen Nike Laser Cut Kit Technology - New Balance, Macron & Many Other
Some days ago, we reported that German brand Puma copied the laser-cut kit technology Nike introduced almost ten years ago. However, it is nothing new that brands got inspired by Nike and also introduced ventilation holes to their kits - we take a look at which other brands have "stolen Nike's technology". Thanks to La Casaca.
Ventilation Holes Of Other Brands Copied From Nike
The Nike laser-cut technology was first also used by Umbro, who were back then a subsidiary from Nike (so it was not stolen). The first brand who really stole it was Topper in 2013, while many other brands should follow in the next years.
In fact, almost all big brands have copied Nike's technology, including New Balance, Macron and Kappa. Kappa even called the ventilation holes "Laser cut ventilation holes"....

Neymar to Retain Brazil No. 10 Shirt for 2026 World Cup
The debate over Brazil’s most iconic shirt number has been officially settled ahead of the 2026 World Cup. It has been confirmed that Neymar will retain the famous No. 10 jersey for the upcoming tournament in North America.
Following a lengthy period away from the national team due to injury, questions had naturally arisen regarding the future of the prestigious shirt. During Neymar's prolonged absence, the Brazilian No. 10 was shared among the squad's other attacking stars. Both Vinicius Junior and Raphinha have donned the historic number in recent international fixtures.
Despite their growing influence and status within the Seleção, both players have willingly stepped aside out of respect for the veteran forward. Highlighting the squad's unity on the matter, Vinicius Junior openly addressed the situation, stating clearly that the shirt "obviously belongs to Neymar."
Earlier rumors suggested that Neymar might adopt the No. 13 jersey.
Do you agree with the decision to keep Neymar in the No. 10 shirt, or was it time to pass it on to a younger player like Vinicius Junior? Let us know in the comments below.

Liverpool 26-27 Home Kit Water Bottle Released
The official Liverpool FC online store has released an interesting "LFC 26/27 Home Water Bottle".
The design of the water bottle mirrors the home kit. The front of the bottle also displays the Liverbird crest and the current Standard Chartered sponsor logo - however, it lacks the Adidas logo and looks very offset. They should have placed logos differently...
The text "Liverpool FC 26-27" is printed on the bottle in the new official Liverpool font.
