Adidas Messi 2023 Ballon d'Or Boots Revealed

Nike has expanded its football-inspired lifestyle footwear lineup with the release of the Air Max Joga Bonito in an iconic Neon colorway. Merging two legendary eras of Nike history, the hybrid sneaker fuses the sleek upper design of Ronaldo Nazario's famous 1998 Mercurial R9 boot with the sole unit and visible cushioning of the classic Air Max 95.

The shoe features a layered synthetic upper rendered in graphite and dark grey tones, framed by light grey piping and black mudguards. Vibrant Neon Yellow accents adorn the mini Swoosh, tongue logo, heel details, and visible Air cushioning units in both the forefoot and heel, creating a look that directly pays tribute to the original 1995 running classic.

Carrying style code IO1753-003, the Nike Air Max Joga Bonito Neon officially releases on August 1, 2026, for a retail price of $180 USD. The sneaker will be available through Nike.com and select global Nike Sportswear retailers.

Real Madrid gave an on-pitch debut to their 26-27 home kit during a closed-doors pre-season training match against CD Leganés at Real Madrid City on July 28, 2026. Designed by Adidas, the uniform features the classic white base accented by dark green collar and cuff trim along with pink Three Stripes on the shoulders. With the friendly held behind closed doors and unbroadcast, photos from Valdebebas provided supporters with their first look at the 26-27 home strip worn in match action.

Cabo Verde goalkeeper Vozinha, who recently reached an agreement to join Chilean giants Colo-Colo following his standout performances at the 2026 World Cup, is facing an unexpected jersey regulation issue. According to official regulations enforced by the National Professional Football Association of Chile (ANFP), players are strictly forbidden from displaying nicknames on the back of their match shirts.

Under current league kit rules, players are only permitted to wear their official paternal or maternal surnames, optionally accompanied by a first initial. For the 40-year-old goalkeeper—whose full legal name is Josimar José Évora Dias—this mandate means his shirt would be restricted to reading Évora, Dias, or Évora Dias instead of the famous Vozinha name he has worn throughout his career.

Because the Vozinha name gained widespread global recognition during the tournament, Colo-Colo is concerned about the negative impact on shirt sales and marketing. The club has officially submitted a request to the ANFP seeking a special exemption, hoping to allow the goalkeeper to keep his familiar nickname on his official match kits.

Global music icon and dedicated Liverpool supporter Calvin Harris provided fans with an unexpected early look at the club's new Adidas 26-27 away kit. During his headline DJ set at Ushuaïa Ibiza, Harris took to the stage wearing the jersey, giving the public a live glimpse at the retro-inspired design.

The 26-27 away jersey features a clean white base with red and grey detailing, drawing direct inspiration from Liverpool's away strips of the mid-1980s.

Granada CF and Adidas have officially unveiled the club's home kit for the 26-27 season. The new Granada 26-27 home shirt features traditional red and white horizontal hoops designed with noticeably wider bands than in recent years. A royal blue classic polo-style collar, matching blue Adidas Three Stripes across the shoulders, and blue brand detailing add contrast to the design. The new kit is completed with blue shorts and white socks.

A manufacturing error has surfaced regarding Newcastle United's 26-27 goalkeeper kit. While the grey jersey was officially designed to feature the club's circular retro crest alongside the Adidas Trefoil logo, some supporters received shirts featuring Newcastle's standard modern badge instead.

Images shared on social media show the grey Adidas shirt fitted with the present-day coat-of-arms crest rather than the intended vintage round badge worn by players on the pitch. The mistake appears to have affected a small initial batch of production units before the issue was identified prior to full retail distribution.

Following the official announcement of local Munich brand Societas as TSV 1860 München's new kit supplier, early production details have leaked, revealing the color palette planned for the 26-27 season. A leaked care label graphic from the manufacturer shows three main fabric swatches that will form the foundation of the club's new kit set: classic light blue and white, black, and a muted light green.

The tag design prominently features the historical "FA 1860" oval crest alongside the Societas logo. This switch to the historical football department crest comes as a result of ongoing trademark disputes surrounding the traditional lion badge, which prevented 1860 München from using their regular logo on new apparel for the upcoming campaign.

With light blue retaining its role for the traditional home shirt, the black and green swatches indicate dark away and unique third kit options for the 26-27 campaign. Societas, known for its fashion-forward approach and prior special-edition collaborations with the club, officially takes over manufacturing duties on a three-year contract following the end of the previous Joma deal.
