Adidas and Parley are set to release a special sustainable football boots collection on 15 March 2023. Now we can leak images of the Copa football boots of the pack.
Parley are a company specializing in recycled ("ocean") materials that Adidas have collaborated with frequently in recent years, both on clothing items including football kits and shoes.
adidas Parley Copa Pure.1 - White / Grey Two / Preloved Blue
Check out the new adidas Copa Pure boots below.
The Adidas Copa Pure Parley edition boots are predominantly white with logos and details in teal. The official colorway is "White / Grey Two / Preloved Blue".
The main design feature of the Adidas Copa Pure 'Parley' special-edition boots is a stitching pattern that highlights the unique upper construction. A faint 'Parley' print can be seen on the instep of the left boot.
Looking at tech, the '"White / Grey Two / Preloved Blue"' Adidas x Parley Copa 2023 cleats are similar but not identical to regular editions. The Copa Pure Parley come with a different upper - they might have no leather at all.

New Material for UEFA Champions League Patches?
Based on images from Manchester United's recent posts, it appears that the Starball and UEFA Foundation sleeve patches for the 26-27 UEFA Champions League might be moving away from the traditional velvet material. Instead, they seem to feature a noticeably thinner and flatter composition.
Without high-resolution close-ups, the exact material specifications cannot be fully confirmed just yet.
However, this potential shift remains unconfirmed, as other clubs have not displayed this change. Real Betis, for instance, still appeared with standard velvet-textured patches during their recent 26-27 Champions League portrait photoshoot sessions.
We will have to wait for official confirmation and close-up looks once the competition gets underway. Big thanks to @jerseystory_vn for the collage.
Almere City 26-27 Cup Kit Released
Dutch club Almere City have officially unveiled their new 2026-27 Cup kit. Made by Craft, the special “HANASAKA!” shirt celebrates the club’s connection with Japan through owner Yanmar and the Yanmar Hanasaka International Youth Cup, an U19 tournament organised by Almere City at the Yanmar Stadion.
The Craft Almere City 2026-27 Cup shirt features a black base with subtle tonal cherry blossom branch motifs across the front. Mint green and pastel pink details add contrast, with a mint crew-neck collar and sponsor branding joined by a pink monochrome club crest, Craft logo and sleeve trims.
