Phil Foden Next Player To Leave Nike
Manchester City youngster Phil Foden is set to leave his boot supplier Nike.
Phil Foden has been sponsored by Nike since he has been a teenager. He wore the Nike Hypervenom silo when he made his first team on 21 November 2017. Most recently laced up in the Neighboorhood colorway of the discontinued Nike Phantom VNM boots.
Phil Foden Debuts Blackout Nike Phantom VNM Boots
In Man City's League Cup match against Arsenal, Phil Foden was wearing a pair of blackout Nike Phantom Venom boots instead of the discontinued Nike Phantom VNM Neighboorhood colorway. In fact, it appears like that Foden was wearing the blackout 'Kinetic Black' Pack with an iridescent finish.
The fact that Foden had been lacing up in the discontinued Nike Phantom Venom boots for several months and that he is now wearing blackout Nike Phantom Venom boots make it pretty certain that his Nike deal is over.
There are no official news about Foden' contract situation. Stay tuned how this story evolves in the coming months.

Stunning Fortuna Köln 2026 Regional Cup Final Kit Released
German side SC Fortuna Köln has released a highly limited special-edition kit to wear during their upcoming 2026 Mittelrheinpokal final. Produced by Dutch sportswear brand Robey, this exclusive release celebrates the club's first appearance in the regional cup final in six years, as they look to secure the trophy for the first time in 13 years.
The Robey SC Fortuna Köln 2026 Cup Final shirt introduces a striking tri-color gradient design that provides a highly bespoke look for the occasion. The top of the jersey begins in a deep navy blue, smoothly fading into a vibrant light blue chest band before transitioning into a clean white lower half.
Adding a premium, historic touch to the kit, all application details - including the Robey manufacturer branding, the central 'HIT' sponsor, and a classic standalone 'F' retro crest - are executed in metallic gold. A subtle light blue V-neck collar and matching sleeve cuffs complete the sophisticated aesthetic.
Priced at €75, this exclusive release serves as a unique collector's item for supporters of the Regionalliga West side. Curiously, while releasing this kit, the club has actively pushed an "All in Red" (Alle in Rot) motto for the fans attending the match, asking supporters to create a sea of red in the stands despite the team wearing their special-edition colors on the pitch.

Aston Villa to Wear Third Kit with Charity Sponsor in Europa League Final
Aston Villa has officially confirmed they will wear their 2025-2026 Adidas third kit for the upcoming UEFA Europa League Final against SC Freiburg in Istanbul.
The decision was made due to a direct kit clash with the German side's traditional all-red home strip, forcing the Premier League club out of their iconic claret and blue. Furthermore, due to strict betting licensing regulations in Turkey, the club's principal partner, Betano, cannot be legally displayed on the jerseys. In response, the space is used by the Aston Villa Foundation for the historic showpiece event.
This special-edition jersey also features the Aston Villa Foundation branding across the chest in matching purple typography, sitting just below a commemorative Match ID text that marks the May 20 final at Besiktas Park.
Recognizing the historical significance of this unique uniform, the club is making the charity edition available to the public. Supporters can purchase these limited-edition shirts, complete with the foundation branding and central match details, in both authentic and replica versions from official club stores.
This rare combination of an alternate kit, a one-off charity sponsor, and European final detailing instantly makes this release a highly sought-after piece for shirt collectors.
