Marco Asensio Leaves Nike For Adidas

FIFA has implemented a late change to Brazil's goalkeeper kit for their 2026 World Cup Group C encounter with Scotland. Initially slated to wear a red outfit, the Brazilian goalkeeper will now wear green for the match on June 24.

The reasons for the switch are not known.

Official match kit graphics confirm the switch, showing the Brazil goalkeeper in a dark green jersey, paired with matching dark green shorts and socks. This green kit is one of the primary options in Brazil's wardrobe for the tournament. Their opponents, Scotland, will have their goalkeeper dressed in a grey kit.

The update was brought to attention by Brazilian kit specialists Mantos do Futebol. The released FIFA match kit table visually confirms the swap from the originally planned red Nike goalkeeper shirt to the green alternative, alongside the outfield kits of both nations.

Nike has presented Kylian Mbappé with a personalized pair of Mercurial Superfly 11 boots to celebrate his record as France's all-time top goalscorer. The special edition boots were created to commemorate his milestone of 58 goals for the national team, a record he reached ahead of his 100th cap.

The bespoke boots feature several unique design elements to honor his achievement. The number 58 is prominently displayed on the lateral heel, accompanied by a small French tricolor flag positioned near the heel collar. Additionally, the sole plate is completely customized in the colors of the French flag, adding a distinct national touch to the standard Mercurial Superfly 11 silhouette.

Mbappé debuted the new boots during the match vs Iraq. As a custom creation specifically designed to mark his record-breaking achievement, the personalized boots remain exclusive to the player and will not be available for public retail release.

Japanese J3 League side Nara Club have officially released their new 2026-27 kits, produced by Squadra. The new shirts feature a bespoke design centered around the concept "God Deer Pulse" (神鹿の鼓動), paying homage to the sacred deer of Nara.

The new FC Volendam 2026-27 home kit has been officially released, marking the first foray into the European market for the club's new technical sponsor, UCAN, a Chinese brand.

The design pays tribute to local culture, serving as an ode to Volendamse schilderkunst (Volendam painting art) with a unique graphic pattern incorporated into the traditional orange base. The FC Volendam 2026-27 home kit is available to purchase through the club's official fanshop and webshop.

Lionel Messi has officially become the all-time leading goalscorer in FIFA World Cup history, netting his 17th goal in Argentina's match against Austria on June 22, 2026. To celebrate this historic milestone, Adidas immediately published a dedicated graphic on their social media channels, crowning their signature athlete with the caption RECORD BREAKER. HISTORY MAKER. The goal moves Messi past Miroslav Klose's long-standing record of 16 World Cup goals.

The achievement comes just days after Messi scored a hat-trick earlier in the tournament to tie the record. During this historic 2026 World Cup run, Messi has been wearing the Adidas F50 'El Último Tango' signature boots.

A special detail on the back of the neck reads the honorific city motto, "Hay un oro que no se compra... se hereda" (There are values you can't buy... you inherit them), completing the classy look for the Spanish La Liga 2 side.

Football kit account @The_Kit_Parade has reimagined various European national teams using Germany's 2026 World Cup home shirt template.

While the design adapts seamlessly to neutral and white bases, with the Irish, Dutch, and Welsh concepts receiving particular praise from fans, others like the Spanish edition proved more divisive due to clashing colors.
