Powerhouse Adama Traoré Receives Custom 'Beast' Nike Mercurial Vapor 13 Football Boots
Jan 3, 2021, by Simon
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.

Alianza Universidad 2026 Special Kit Released
Peruvian club Alianza Universidad de Huánuco and local manufacturer Real Sport have officially unveiled a special commemorative kit for the 2026 season. Launched under the slogan "Vestimos nuestra fe" (We wear our faith), the release embraces Peru's deep-rooted October tradition of donning purple to pay homage to religious heritage, specifically honoring the Señor de Burgos, the patron saint of Huánuco.
The Real Sport Alianza Universidad 2026 special shirt swaps the team's customary red and blue palette for a striking purple and white striped look. It features bold purple vertical stripes across the front, complemented by a purple crew neck and matching sleeve trim on white sleeves. On the upper back sits an intricate graphic badge depicting the Señor de Burgos, accompanied by the inscription "Rey y Patrón de Huánuco", while squad numbers are rendered in gold with purple outlines.
The special edition kit is set to make its on-pitch debut during October Liga 2 action and is currently available via pre-order through the club's official channels.
Adidas Reuses Spain’s 2026 Training Kits
During recent UEFA Nations League training sessions, Spain was spotted using old training jerseys with one star removed and two additional stars printed above the logo. The imprint of the old star remains visible on the shirts.
This case is reminiscent of another interesting situation involving the Argentina futsal team at the 2021 Futsal World Cup. Despite being the defending champions, Argentina was not provided bespoke kits by Adidas and had to use standard jerseys, from which two stars were removed and replaced with one, as they had only won the Futsal World Cup once.
Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collages.
