Laceless vs Laces: More & More Adidas Players Provide Look At Next-Gen Adidas Copa Sense & Predator Freak 2021 Boots
In the past couple of weeks, Adidas has supplied many of its best players with blackout versions of the two next-generation soccer cleats that will be launched in 2021 - the Adidas Copa Sense and Predator Freak. We take a closer look at them.
The latest Adidas athletes to be spotted wearing Adidas' blackout next-gen boots were Cesar Azpilicueta (Adidas Copa Sense.1) and Kepa and Lee Kang-In (Adidas Predator Freak.1) - the .1 marks the laces version.
Adidas 2021 Boots Line-Up
From 2021, the four Adidas boot silos are the Copa Sense, Predator Freak, X Ghosted and Nemeziz. Adidas scrapped the numbers / dates of the boots - no more Nemeziz 19, Predator 20 etc but just Nemeziz. 1, Nemeziz+, Copa Sense.1 & Copa Sense+, Predator Freak+ etc.
Adidas Copa Sense
The Adidas Copa Sense has been very much revamped compared to the launch (late 2018) and second (late 2019) editions, which were actually identical. The Adidas Copa Sense will be released as laces and laceless version.
Adidas Predator Freak
For the Adidas Predator Freak, the Three Stripes updated the upper and kept the sole plate of the current generation. The upper boasts newly aligned rubber pads as well as striking new cut, especially for the collar.
Both the Adidas Copa Sense and Predator Freak will launch in early 2021.
The Adidas Predator Freak will be also released a Low Cut version - the only version we have not seen yet.

Dorking Wanderers 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
English National League South side Dorking Wanderers have officially revealed their new home and away kits for the 2026-2027 season.
The new 26-27 home shirt introduces a classic and timeless design, stripping things back to a traditional aesthetic. It features bold red and white vertical stripes that draw inspiration from historic European football heritage. To complete the clean and authentic on-pitch look, the home jersey is perfectly paired with deep blue shorts and traditional white socks.
Following the launch of the primary strip, Dorking Wanderers also introduced their new 26-27 away kit, which delivers a much sharper and modern edge. This secondary jersey is defined by striking black and orange stripes, creating a strong contrast between dark and vibrant tones.
Notably, the club has thoughtfully replaced the betting sponsor with health and wellbeing partner Nuffield Health for all junior kits, while also actively reducing the price of youth shirts by £6 down to £39 to help younger fans afford their colors.

Special Goiás 2026 'Romaria' Kit Released
Brazilian side Goiás EC and technical sponsor Diadora have officially launched a special edition "Romaria" kit for the 2026 season. This unique jersey is designed to honor the deep-rooted faith and cultural traditions of the club's supporters, known as the Emerald Nation.
Tying heavily into the local religious pilgrimages that take place in the state of Goiás, the release operates under the fitting motto, "Faith is not explained. It is carried," successfully blending regional heritage with modern football apparel.
The design of the new Goiás 2026 Romaria shirt is anchored by an off-white base that is heavily detailed with an intricate, tonal graphic pattern. This all-over print features ornate filigree and religious iconography directly inspired by the Divino Pai Eterno (Divine Eternal Father), a central figure in the state's famous annual pilgrimage. To contrast the subtle background artwork, Diadora has applied its logo and the classic circular 'G' club crest in a sharp, dark green on the chest, while subtle gold piping accents the shoulder lines.
The most striking colorful details of the kit are reserved for the sleeve cuffs, which feature vibrant, tricolor bands of blue, green, and yellow. Upon closer inspection, these colored stripes are inscribed with repeating "Divino Pai Eterno" text, further cementing the jersey's homage to the region's spiritual traditions.
