No More Meyba - Las Vegas Lights 2023 Home & Away Kits Released - But Who Made the Kits?

Before their opening match of the 2026 World Cup, the France national team has continued a pre-tournament tradition by posing for a squad photo wearing the kits of their first-ever clubs. The image, which recently gained widespread attention on social media, serves as a tribute to the players' grassroots origins before they compete on the international stage.

The photo features the squad donning the jerseys of the local and amateur teams where their football journeys began. Kylian Mbappé and William Saliba are both seen representing AS Bondy, while Ibrahima Konaté wears the colors of Paris FC. Other notable inclusions are Jules Koundé in Fraternelle de Landiras, Aurélien Tchouaméni in JS D'Artigues, Dayot Upamecano in VS Angers, Ousmane Dembélé in ALM Evreux, Jean-Philippe Mateta in Sevran, and the Hernández brothers in CF Rayo Majadahonda gear.

This tradition highlights the diverse beginnings of the squad and provides valuable recognition for the youth and amateur clubs that helped develop the current generation of French national team players.

Mexican international Alexis Vega caught the attention of boot enthusiasts by lacing up in a unique pair of pink Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 Jordan x PSG boots. The Toluca forward chose the bold footwear for the opening match of the 2026 World Cup, stepping onto the pitch for the inauguration scenario in a design that perfectly fits the current trend of vibrant football boots. Big thanks to @abcdefutbol.

Originally launched in 2018 as part of the highly successful collaboration between Jordan Brand and Paris Saint-Germain, the Mercurial Vapor 12 is now a rare sight in professional matches. Vega's choice of the eye-catching pink edition highlights his personal preference, with the boots reportedly being among his all-time favorites.

Most 2026 World Cup sleeve badges are currently not available for purchase separately; they are only offered as an add-on that is pre-applied to online jersey orders. However, they are now available with the England 2026 World Cup jersey and can be ordered through the team's official online store.

Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres has developed a superstition regarding his football boots, choosing to stick with an older colorway of the Nike Mercurial Vapor 16. Despite Nike releasing several newer packs, the forward continues to wear the Mad Ambition edition. He considers this specific pair to be his lucky boots due to his prolific goalscoring form while wearing them. Big thanks to @abcdefutbol.

Interestingly, Gyokeres has been spotted testing and warming up in newer Nike Mercurial releases. However, when it comes to the actual matches, he consistently reverts to his trusted Mad Ambition Vapor 16s. This practice of wearing new boots during warm-ups but relying on a comfortable, proven pair for competitive play highlights how important gear familiarity and superstition can be for a striker.
