Jul 8, 2026, by Chris
- Salford City Kit Evokes Netherlands: The new Adidas-produced Salford City 26-27 away kit, featuring a clean white base with vibrant orange and black accents, strongly reminded many people of the Netherlands national team's aesthetic.
- Fan-Created Netherlands Kit Mockup: Kit enthusiast @ChatShirt created a mockup of the Salford City 26-27 away kit with Netherlands national team logos, showcasing how perfectly the design would work for the Dutch.
- Netherlands' Current Kit Deal: Despite the compelling concept of an Adidas-made kit, the Netherlands national team extended their deal with Nike in 2024 until 2030, meaning Adidas will not be their kit maker anytime soon.
Following the release of the Salford City 26-27 away kit, many people not only saw the small English team but also some of the world's most famous teams. Produced by Adidas, the new Salford alternative strip features a clean white base complemented by vibrant orange and black accents, instantly evoking the aesthetic of the Netherlands national team.

Enzo Fernandez Brings Back 2022 World Cup Nike Phantom GT2 Boots
During the recent match against England on July 15, Enzo Fernandez caught the attention of boot spotters by wearing a familiar pair of cleats. Instead of opting for the latest Nike releases, the Argentine midfielder laced up in the Nike Phantom GT2 boots, specifically the exact colorway he wore during the final stages of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Big thanks to @marcadegol.
This is not an isolated incident, as Fernandez was also spotted wearing the same Qatar-era boots earlier in the month on July 7. Returning to a boot model that is nearly four years old suggests that he may be looking for the same feel and comfort that accompanied his breakout performance and ultimate victory on the global stage, with some fans dubbing them his lucky boots. The Nike Phantom GT2 was officially succeeded by the Phantom GX and subsequently the Phantom GX 2 and Luna 2 lines.
Emiliano Martinez Debuts Custom Golden Adidas Predator Yashin Trophy Gloves
Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez debuted a unique pair of custom golden Adidas Predator goalkeeper gloves during a recent match against England. The bespoke design was created exclusively for the shot-stopper by Adidas to commemorate a major individual milestone. Big thanks to @marcadegol.
The special edition gloves were presented to Martinez following his second consecutive Yashin Trophy win, honoring his standing as the best goalkeeper in world football. The design features a prominent metallic gold colorway across the backhand and punch zone, serving as a direct visual tribute to the prestigious award.
While the gloves sport this exclusive golden aesthetic, they utilize the standard technology and specifications of the current Adidas Predator goalkeeper line. These celebratory gloves appear to be a player-exclusive creation tailored specifically for Martinez, with no indications of a wider retail release from the Three Stripes.
