Imitating Kroos? Ivan Rakitic Trains In Adidas Adipure 2011 Boots
May 9, 2020, by Chris
FC Barcelona this week returned to individual training on the pitch. Now Barca midfielder Ivan Rakitić has been spotted wearing a pair of classy, almost 10-year old boots.
Ivan Rakitić Trains in White / Black / Gold Adidas Adipure IV TRX Football Boots
Ivan Rakitic laced up in the white / gold / black Adidas Adipure IV TRX that were released in 2011. The boots are white and black with classic Three Stripes branding and golden applications.
The Adidas Adipure IV soccer boots feature a kangaroo leather upper with OneTouch construction design that supports the natural stretch of kangaroo leather.
To reduce the risk of injury and the stress on the achilles tendon, the adiPURE's internal heel stabilizer and shallow external heel counter offers maximum stability and protection. The Adidas Adipure IV TRX soccer cleats also have a lightweight and durable TPU sole plate.
The reason for Rakitić to wear the Adidas Adipures from 2011 is very likely that he wanted ultimate comfort to reduce the risk of an injury after more than six weeks without football training on the pitch.

Fortuna Sittard 26-27 Cup Kit Released - Sponsorless 1957 Tribute
Dutch Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard and technical supplier Robey have officially revealed a special cup kit for the 26-27 campaign. Created in collaboration with design agency 51North, this release marks the very first dedicated cup kit in the club's history. It serves as a direct tribute to predecessor club Fortuna '54, who won the 1957 KNVB Beker with a memorable Bram Appel hat-trick against Feyenoord.
The Robey Fortuna Sittard 26-27 cup shirt faithfully revives the historic look with a white base highlighted by broad horizontal red and blue stripes across the chest, completing the Dutch tricolor. In true vintage fashion, the jersey comes with long sleeves as standard and features a retro polo collar. Club sponsors voluntarily stepped aside to allow a completely clean, sponsorless front, while the Robey branding and club badge are subtly embroidered in tonal white to maintain the authentic aesthetic.
Additional bespoke details round off the historic tribute. A heritage Fortuna '54 tag sits near the bottom hem, and an embroidered depiction of the KNVB Cup sits neatly below the back collar, added with official federation approval. The shirt is worn with matching white shorts and socks, completing a timeless look for Fortuna's cup run.
FIFA ASEAN Cup Features Same Left-Sleeve Kit Badge as in 2026 FIFA World Cup Final
The opening match between Laos and Brunei provided a full reveal of the sleeve patch pairing for the inaugural FIFA-organized Southeast Asian tournament.
Moving away from the previously expected navy blue, the official tournament patches feature a clean white base. Most notably, the "Football Unites the World" sleeve patch on the left arm is the exact same design that made a single, exclusive appearance at the recent World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina.
