Adidas To Snap Nike Players To Push Adidas Copa Boot Silo
Adidas is set to sign a bulk of players for 2021 to push the Adidas Copa silo and the launch of the next-generation Adidas Copa Sense, images from recent training and matches suggest.
The most popular players who are officially under contract with Adidas and currently wear the Adidas Copa football boot are Paulo Dybala, Joao Felix and Pedri* (laceless version) / *Donny van de Beek, David de Gea and Manuel Neuer (laces version).
Thiago, Sergio Ramos and Iago Aspas Spotted With Adidas Copa 20.1 Football Boots
Sergio Ramos and Thiago Alcantara were spotted with the Adidas Copa 20.1 already some time ago, while Iago Aspas just switched to them last week (from Nike Phantom GT).
All of the three new Copa athletes previously wore Nike soccer cleats for several years
Nike Players Switch to Adidas Copa Boots 2020-21
- Iago Aspas: Nike Phantom GT -> Adidas Copa 20.1 Blackout / Orange
- Sergio Ramos: Nike Tiempo Legend VII -> Adidas Copa 20.1 Blackout / Orange with custom sole plate
- Thiago: Nike Phantom VNM -> Adidas Copa 20.1
Adidas' strategy makes much sense
In fact, Adidas' move makes sense. While the laceless Copa are worn by some of the most marketable players on the planet (Paulo Dybala, Joao Felix and Pedri), the laces variant just got the on-pitch support of star goalkeepers (Neuer and De Gea) but not star players.
Watch out for the boots of Thiago Alcantara, Sergio Ramos, Iago Aspas and possible other new Copa ambassadors in the coming weeks.
The next-generation Adidas Copa Sense football boots will be launched in February 2021.

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.
