Jan 10, 2021, by Simon
Update: Erling Braut Haaland gave his new special-edition Nike Mercurial Vapor 13 Elite cleats a second outing yesterday against RB Leipzig. The Norwegian striker scored a brace in the second half. BVB gave Leipzig a neat thrashing away from home (1-3). Pictures via Norwegian store @torshovfootball.
The new Nike Mercurial Vapor 13 Elite 'Golden Boy 2020' soccer boots were officially unveiled yesterday by Dortmund's top scorer as he fiercely returned from a torn muscle fibre that sidelined him for 28 days (Dec 1, 2020 until Dec 28, 2020). Haaland's presence immediately helped BVB (2-0) against VfL Wolfsburg.
Haaland's new Mercurial Vapor XIII Elite football shoes were mostly designed with Nike's "Nike By You" service that gives everybody the possibility to create their very own colourways of the 'speed' silo, while still retaining the premium features. As far as the inspiration goes, they are simply inspired by the golden year Erling Braut Håland has had since he won the 2020 Golden Boy award.

Udinese Calcio and technical partner Macron have officially launched the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. Unveiled during Milan Fashion Week in partnership with the Camera Moda Fashion Trust, the bespoke shirt was created in collaboration with Italian fashion designer Giuseppe Buccinnà and serves as the centerpiece of a capsule collection celebrating the Friulian club's 130th anniversary.
The Macron Udinese 26-27 third shirt is built around an off-white cream base complemented by bold black curved side panels and piping that evoke mid-2000s kit silhouettes. Tone-on-tone geometric star textures are woven into the fabric structure, while subtle gold accents trim the sleeve edges. Most distinctively, Udinese's standard crest is replaced on the left chest with a commemorative star emblem dedicated to the club's founding in 1896.
Finishing details include Buccinnà's signature placed right above the embroidered Macron Hero on the chest, along with black back-neck detailing that displays "Designed in Bologna" and the iconic Friulian rallying cry "FUARCE UDIN" in gold lettering. The new third uniform is available immediately through official Udinese and Macron stores.
