Powerhouse Adama Traoré Receives Custom 'Beast' Nike Mercurial Vapor 13 Football Boots
A few days ago, sneaker customiser @jordan.dawson shared several pictures of multiple classy black / white Nike Mercurial Vapor 13 cleats that feature no brand logos and several additional white graphics on a black base. Dawson customized these boots in collaboration with @tootsbootsuk who provided the one-of-a-kind metallic studs.
Subsequently, Spain international & Wolves regular Adama Traoré debuted his new custom Nike Mercurial Vapor XIII cleats yesterday against Brighton & Hove Albion (3-3). Previously, Traoré laced up in custom black / gold Nike Mercurial Vapor 13 boots.

This photo shows the new Nike Mercurial Vapor XIII cleats in 'Black / White'.
Mainly black, the new Nike Mercurial Vapor XIII football boots come with several painted graphics such as 'its a process' and 'beast' writings on the outstep outlined with a white graphic.
This graphic reminds us of the transformation effect it has on Dragonball characters when they become Super Saiyan and golden flames surround them. A white wolf graces the inside of Nike's custom Mercurial Vapor XIII 'Adama Traoré' soccer cleats.

MLS Players Wear Their National Flags on Kits Ahead of 2026 World Cup
Major League Soccer last weekend hosted a dedicated "Farewell Week" to send off its international stars. To mark the occasion, all clubs across the domestic league took to the pitch wearing specially customized kits that honored the various nations represented within their squads.
The most prominent visual update to the MLS uniforms was the addition of official national flags printed directly on the chest for all players and coaching staff. In a highly thoughtful and personalized touch, the league provided specialized double-flag variations for athletes holding dual citizenship. This bespoke detail allowed these specific players to proudly represent both their current homelands and their heritage simultaneously before joining their respective national team camps.
Beyond the chest graphics, teams also sported a unique set of squad numbers on the back of their shirts, featuring a custom pattern made up of the flags of all 48 countries participating in this summer's World Cup.
What do you think of this customized flag concept for the MLS World Cup Farewell Week? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
