Nike is set to officially bring back one of its most famous crossover designs, the Kobe 8 Protro "Mambacurial", releasing on September 19, 2026. First introduced in 2013 as a tribute to Kobe Bryant's lifelong passion for football, the sneaker drew direct inspiration from the vibrant 2013 Nike Mercurial Vapor IX football boot. Thirteen years after its original debut, the model returns under the modernized Protro banner, uniting basketball performance with iconic football heritage. Big thanks to House of Heat.

The shoe faithfully recreates the beloved colorway, featuring a bold gradient across the engineered mesh upper in Red Plum, Pink Flash, and Electric Green. Signature football details define the look, including the oversized forefoot Swoosh that mimics Mercurial boot branding, massive block-letter "NIKE" lettering across the medial flank, and a translucent neon green outsole. Modern Protro upgrades have been implemented beneath the surface to provide improved cushioning and traction.

Scottish Championship club Ayr United and Irish kit supplier O'Neills have officially unveiled the team's new third shirt for the 26-27 season. The release rounds out the Honest Men's kit lineup for the current campaign, following the earlier arrivals of their home strip in April and away jersey in June.

A tonal linework pattern decorates the raglan sleeves, complemented by light grey cuffs and a matching collar with bright orange piping. White side panels frame the torso, matching the valkit.ai sponsor across the chest, while the O'Neills logo and a retro-style AU monogram crest stand out in orange on the chest.

Sturm Graz Tape Over City Name on Crest in Europa League Protest

SK Sturm Graz staged an unusual protest during their UEFA Europa League clash away against AFC Bournemouth on Thursday night. As the squad emerged from the tunnel for the pre-match walk-on, players wore their official training jackets with a strip of white tape deliberately covering the word "Graz" on the club crest.

The demonstration comes in response to severe budget cuts announced by the city administration and municipal utility Holding Graz GmbH, which plans to end all professional sports sponsorships from 2027 onward. The withdrawal is expected to cost Sturm Graz around €500,000 annually, while also hitting local football rivals Grazer AK (€300,000) and ice hockey champions Graz99ers (€200,000). The move sparked coordinated outrage across the city's sporting landscape, with the Graz99ers similarly dropping "Graz" from their name and branding over the weekend.

Ahead of kick-off in England, Sturm issued a statement under the heading "No sports sponsoring, no respect, no appreciation," arguing that the club acts as a major international ambassador while investing heavily in youth academies, women's football, and special-needs teams.

Club president Christian Jauk criticized local officials for abandoning top-level athletics, noting that the international stage of a European fixture against Premier League opposition was chosen intentionally to maximize visibility for their cause.

Following leaks that Adidas will draw inspiration from the club's 1983-85 shirt, Schalke kit creator @m1904x has brought the concept to life with a realistic prediction of the FC Schalke 04 27-28 away kit. The kit enthusiast previously accurately leaked and previewed the club's 26-27 jerseys.

The predicted Adidas Schalke 27-28 away jersey features a clean white base paired with royal blue details, headlined by a prominent horizontal chest stripe. Honoring the 1980s original, the shirt is expected to showcase the classic Adidas Trefoil logo and a retro Schalke crest, complemented by blue shoulder stripes and a matching V-neck collar.

Mockups shared by @m1904x show club captain Kenan Karaman wearing the full strip alongside white shorts and royal blue accents. The official Adidas Schalke 04 27-28 away kit is slated to be launched in July or August 2027.

UAE Pro League side Al Nasr SC has officially unveiled its new third kit for the 26-27 season, crafted by Puma. Centered around the theme "A play of light and shadow," the new uniform brings a stealthy, monochrome aesthetic to complete the club's kit set for the current campaign.

The Puma Al Nasr SC 26-27 third shirt combines black and charcoal grey tones in a split half-and-half style across the torso and sleeves. All logos are applied in clean white, including the club crest, Puma cat logos, and front-of-shirt sponsors Emirates Islamic and SOBHA, alongside the UAE flag placed neatly across the chest. Matching black shorts and socks complete the full outfield look.

Alongside the third jersey, Al Nasr also showcased a complementary goalkeeper strip featuring an energetic orange base with dark green geometric detailing. The new third kit follows the release of the club's traditional blue home shirt and wave-patterned white away shirt launched earlier this summer.
