Overpriced? You Can Get 5 Top Boots for Same Price as 'Japan Blue' Predator Mania
Mar 14, 2020, by Pat
Adidas recently dropped its latest Predator Mania remake, inspired by the 'Japan Blue' 2002 colorway.
Although they retail at a €350 / $350 they have proven quite popular in sales from what we have seen.
However, it might be time to talk about this massive price tag: as shown by Bryan Byrne of SoccerCleats101, with the current Soccer.com Warehouse Sale you can get five(!) pairs of decent boots for the same price.

So, @teaathalftime got me thinking this morning. The price of the Predator Mania Remake is $350. If you have the money, great!!! OR, or you could get the following five pairs for the same price in the current @soccerdotcom Warehouse Sale.

First Time in 12 Years: Juventus Bring Back Long-Sleeved Kits on Pitch
Making his Juventus debut in the match against AC Milan, Nick Woltemade was the only Juventus player on the pitch wearing long sleeves. Excluding special-edition kits, the German strike became the first Bianconeri player made this choice since Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio back in the 13-14 season.
Remarkably, even Cristiano Ronaldo, a long-sleeve icon, never wore one during his time in Turin.
Liverpool Could Use a Text-Only Turkish Airlines Sponsor?
Liverpool have announced that Turkish Airlines will become the club's new shirt sponsor from the 2027-28 season, ending the Reds' 17-year partnership with Standard Chartered.
While early fan concepts have used Turkish Airlines' familiar circular bird logo above the wordmark, a text-only sponsor could also be a realistic option.
The airline previously used a simplified two-line “TURKISH AIRLINES” wordmark on River Plate's shirts between 2019 and 2022, while Turkish clubs such as Galatasaray and Samsunspor have also used streamlined typographic versions of the branding.
A text-only layout could give Liverpool's future Adidas shirts a cleaner, less crowded look. The final sponsor application has yet to be confirmed, with the partnership set to begin in June 2027.
