Revolution Incoming? TruSox To Release First-Ever Football Boots
Nov 24, 2019, by Chris
Some years ago, a small brand from the US introduced what would become one of the most significant breakthroughs in sportswear technology in recent history - revolutionary anti-slip socks, called TruSox. Now TruSox might release their first-ever football boot.
TruSox was created and founded by former American soccer player Jim Cherneski. Most people got first known about them when players in Premier League wore the socks with "hose dots peeking above the boots of famous Premier League footballers" like Gareth Bale in 2011.
TRUboots - First-Ever TruSox Football Boot
So far, TruSox only released a teaser image with a black silhouette of what we expect to be the brand's first-ever soccer boot (with the hashtags #TRUsox #TRUboots #TRU #TRUth #performance #soccer #football #footballboots #footballcleats #soccerboots #soccercleats). The black silhouette does not reveal very much - the boot has a traditional low-cut silhouette with TruSox trademark dots visible on the heel.
The first-ever TruSox football boots will possibly be called TruBoots, at least the Hashtags from the brand's social media post suggest that.

TruSox already created American football and baseball cleats. The TruSox cleats are called "TruAthletic" boots and were worn by NFL footballer Mohamed Sanu Sr. and baseball star Miguel Cabrera.
In fact, TruSox founder Jim Cherneski already revealed in an interview in 2016 with The Set Pieces that TruSox are set to release a football boot...

"You’re now expanding into other areas of sports apparel including boots – tell us about TruAthletic…
We have a patent for an insole that locks into the shoe and the sock that has our technology – the external and internal non-slip material. From April of this year the best baseball player in the world – Miguel Cabrera – was wearing TruAthletic shoes in major league baseball and we’re going to have multiple players in the Premier League next year wearing TruAthletic boots."
The first-ever TruSox football boots will be limited to 3,000 pairs - 500 pairs will be available to pre-order on Black Friday.
Stay tuned for more details on the possible first-ever TruSox football boots as we receive them.

Sunderland 26-27 Third Kit Released
Sunderland AFC and Hummel have officially unveiled the club's new 26-27 third kit, drawing inspiration from the city's rich history of glassmaking. The new design boasts a deep blue base covered in a repeating tonal stained-glass graphic pattern, which incorporates the classic football emblem from Sunderland's iconic ship badge.
Elevating the shirt's look are metallic copper accents used for the retro Sunderland crest on the chest and the Hummel branding on the shoulders. The outer back neck area features the inscription "Glass Making Since The 7th Century" in matching copper text, paying homage to Monkwearmouth's historic St Peter's Church and the roots of local craftsmanship.
The Sunderland 26-27 third kit is accompanied by a broader capsule collection, including a matching varsity jacket and pre-match warm-up range, with official availability starting August 14, 2026.

All technical details and branding, including the monochromatic AD Alcorcón crest, the Kappa Omini logos on the chest and shoulders, and the main front sponsor, are applied in a vibrant red tone.

Woking FC 26-27 Away Kit Released
National League side Woking FC and kit maker Erreà have officially unveiled the club's new away kit for the 26-27 season. This follows the earlier launch of their new home shirt.
The Woking FC 26-27 away jersey features a yellow base detailed with thin vertical navy pinstripes. Navy accents are applied to the collar and sleeve cuffs, accompanied by subtle gold trimming on the sleeves. The kit is finished with a monochromatic navy club crest and matching sponsor branding from Nuffield Health across the chest.
For the home shirt, Woking sticks to tradition with a classic half-and-half red and white design. It features black ribbing around the crew collar and sleeve cuffs with white accent lines, maintaining a clean look for the 26-27 campaign.
Swansea City 26-27 Third Kit Released
Swansea City and Joma have officially launched the club's new third kit for the 26-27 Championship season. The new strip completes the Swans' kit collection for the campaign, offering a sleek look inspired by the local coastline.
The Joma Swansea City 26-27 third shirt features a black base overlaid with a subtle tonal wave pattern across the body. A classic polo collar and matching sleeve cuffs feature crisp white piping, complemented by silver-white detailing for the Joma logo, principal sponsor AG1, and the standalone swan crest.
As with the home and away jerseys, Welsh identity is embedded throughout the shirt, with "ABERTAWE" printed on the upper back neck and the club slogan "Ein Hanes. Ein Dyfodol. Ein Ffordd." featured inside the collar label. Black shorts and socks complete the new Swansea City 26-27 third kit.
Original UEFA Super Cup Sleeve Badge Was Removed
At the 2026 UEFA Super Cup, Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa wore the reigning Champions League and Europa League title-holder patches, respectively. This change started last year during the Super Cup clash between PSG and Tottenham Hotspur.
From 1998 to 2024, both teams competing in the UEFA Super Cup wore a single, generic tournament patch featuring the Super Cup trophy.
While PSG will continue wearing their Champions League patch throughout their continental campaign, Aston Villa's reigning Europa League champions patch will make its one and only appearance at the Super Cup. For their upcoming Champions League campaign, Villa will switch to a special Starball patch designated specifically for the reigning Europa League winners.
