Iwobi Becomes Next Player To Wear Special Blackout Nike Boots
Nigerian Everton player Alex Iwobi has become the next player to wear a special blackout boot to make a statement on the pitch.
On October 11 2020, Nike released a special pair of blackout Nike Mercurial boots for Marcus Rashford as part of Black History Month. A few days later, Michy Batshuayi and Anthony Martial stood out wearing blackout boots with the messages "Black Lives Matter” and “No Racism”.
Iwobi Wears Blackout Nike Mercurial Vapor 13 To Make Aware Of Police Violence
In the match between Fulham and Everton, Alexander Iwobi wore a pair of blackout Nike Mercurial Vapor XIII soccer boots with the hashtag #EndPoliceBrutality. The base for his boots were the Kinetic Pack Nike Mercurial Vapor 13 blackout boots.
Next to the message against police violence, there is one thing that make his choice interesting. Iwobi is usually wearing the Nike Phantom GT silo.
The reason for Iwobi not wearing his usual boots silo is likely that they were not provided by Nike but by EUniqueBoots. The boot customization service also made the boots for Anthony Martial - blackout Nike Mercurial Vapor 13.

Germany 2026 World Cup Kit Match Details Concept
Following Germany's massive 7-1 victory over Curaçao in the 2026 World Cup, football kit enthusiasts have found a unique use for the central design element of the team's home shirt. The Germany 2026 kit features a prominent white diamond pattern on the chest, which has sparked creative ideas online.
Inspired by a suggestion from Twitter user @ForbiddenShirts, kit enthusiast @KitNerdUK created a mock-up that places the historic match details directly inside the central white diamond. The edit neatly frames the scoreline and opponent, utilizing the otherwise empty space in the middle of the chest.
While the concept looks clean for this specific match, fans have pointed out that longer team names or additional match information might not fit as easily within the diamond shape. Nevertheless, it offers an interesting perspective on how match details could be integrated into the bold 2026 design.
