Feb 4, 2025, by Phan Tich Giay
- Prototype Design Differences: A prototype version of the Adidas F50 Messi x Bad Bunny boots featured a significantly different design compared to the final released version, including different colors, stripe design, and sole.
- Lining and Heel Changes: The prototype's shoe lining featured the Messi and Bad Bunny logo, while the final version had a different design; the heel color was changed from dark grey to cream, and the Bad Bunny logo was replaced with a large X.
- Insole and Tag Consistency: The Leo and Benito inscriptions on the insoles and the L. Messi and B. Martinez tags remained the same in both the prototype and final versions.
The Adidas F50 Messi x Bad Bunny signature boot was released in October last year. Before the final product was released, Adidas created a different look for the boot, which was shared by football boot collector @chpcollection.
Adidas F50 Messi x Bad Bunny Boots - Prototype Version
This picture shows the sample version of the Adidas F50 Messi x Bad Bunny shoes
The Adidas F50 Messi x Bad Bunny Signature prototype boots feature a very different design to the official version. The sides of the boot are dark grey with blue trim, giving it a more futuristic look.
Next, the Three Stripes of the sample version only had a cream color on two sides. The final version has three stripes in different blue and cream colors on each side of the shoe.
The next difference is the shoe lining: if the sample version has the logo of Messi and Bad Bunny, the final version has an entirely different design with three stripes and the words Messi Para Bad Bunny.
As for the sole, the prototype has a gradient effect from cream at the bottom to blue at the top, while the official version is bronze brown.
The Leo inscription on the left insole and the Benito inscription on the right insole remains unchanged. The L. Messi 🇦🇷 and 🇵🇷 B. Martinez tags under the 3-Stripes logo also remain unchanged.
The last change is to the heel. It was originally dark grey, but was later changed to cream to match the overall look. While the prototype had the Bad Bunny logo on the left shoe, the official version changed it to a large X.

Adidas Germany 2026 Farewell Kit Debuted on Pitch
Germany officially debuted their special edition Adidas farewell kit during their UEFA Nations League clash against the Netherlands. The release marks the final chapter of a legendary 72-year partnership between the German Football Association (DFB) and the Three Stripes, which began in 1954 and will officially come to an end on December 31, 2026, ahead of Nike taking over as technical supplier from 2027.
The tribute shirt features an elegant, predominantly black base decorated with vertical gold diamond pinstripes running down the front. Adidas has opted for the heritage Trefoil logo on the right chest alongside the classic DFB crest used between 1978 and 1996, both rendered in white. A retro-inspired crossover V-neck collar is trimmed in white and gold, mirrored on the sleeve cuffs, while a commemorative "1954" jock tag sits on the bottom hem to honor the historic year the partnership began.
Completed with black shorts and black socks featuring gold detailing, the on-pitch ensemble arrived just days after its official unveiling. Following its high-profile match debut, the Germany 2026 farewell jersey is scheduled to go on general sale via official Adidas channels starting September 26, 2026.

Fortuna Sittard 26-27 Cup Kit Released - Sponsorless 1957 Tribute
Dutch Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard and technical supplier Robey have officially revealed a special cup kit for the 26-27 campaign. Created in collaboration with design agency 51North, this release marks the very first dedicated cup kit in the club's history. It serves as a direct tribute to predecessor club Fortuna '54, who won the 1957 KNVB Beker with a memorable Bram Appel hat-trick against Feyenoord.
The Robey Fortuna Sittard 26-27 cup shirt faithfully revives the historic look with a white base highlighted by broad horizontal red and blue stripes across the chest, completing the Dutch tricolor. In true vintage fashion, the jersey comes with long sleeves as standard and features a retro polo collar. Club sponsors voluntarily stepped aside to allow a completely clean, sponsorless front, while the Robey branding and club badge are subtly embroidered in tonal white to maintain the authentic aesthetic.
Additional bespoke details round off the historic tribute. A heritage Fortuna '54 tag sits near the bottom hem, and an embroidered depiction of the KNVB Cup sits neatly below the back collar, added with official federation approval. The shirt is worn with matching white shorts and socks, completing a timeless look for Fortuna's cup run.
FIFA ASEAN Cup Features Same Left-Sleeve Kit Badge as in 2026 FIFA World Cup Final
The opening match between Laos and Brunei provided a full reveal of the sleeve patch pairing for the inaugural FIFA-organized Southeast Asian tournament.
Moving away from the previously expected navy blue, the official tournament patches feature a clean white base. Most notably, the "Football Unites the World" sleeve patch on the left arm is the exact same design that made a single, exclusive appearance at the recent World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina.
Big thanks to @What The Kit for spotting and making the collage.
