Prototype

Swiss sportswear brand On has showcased its latest custom football boot prototype created for Kylian Mbappé, featuring a bespoke design inspired by the French tricolor. Coded ON-DCPT-KM810, the boots feature an off-white, seamless upper crafted through the brand's automated LightSpray filament technology, complemented by a soleplate that blends royal blue at the heel into vivid red across the forefoot. Mbappé continues to test and refine different iterations on the pitch following On's official entry into football alongside the French forward and Thierry Henry, with the brand's first commercially available football boots scheduled to arrive in 2027.

Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard has been spotted testing a whiteout prototype of the next-generation Adidas Predator football boots during training. Following in the footsteps of Arsenal teammate Declan Rice, who was also recently seen trialing an all-white test model, the Norwegian playmaker took to the pitch in the unreleased silhouette as Adidas intensifies elite athlete feedback ahead of the generation's official unveiling.

The prototype worn by Ødegaard features a laced low-cut build with a streamlined knit tongue construction, tailored to his personal fit preferences. Aesthetically, the upcoming boot draws unmistakable inspiration from the iconic 2000 Predator Precision, highlighted by sweeping, wavy three stripes wrapping around the sides.

Expected to hit the market in late 2026 or early 2027 ahead of the second half of the 26-27 campaign, the next-generation Adidas Predator will be available in laced, laceless, and classic fold-over tongue editions.

Following Kylian Mbappé's decisive two-goal performance in Real Madrid's 2-1 El Clásico victory over Barcelona, On has shared an official close-up look at the custom prototype boots he debuted on the pitch: the ON-DCPT-KM410.

The detailed shots highlight the boot's technical construction and stripped-back aesthetic. Crafted with On's cutting-edge LightSpray technology, the upper is produced by an automated robotic arm spraying continuous thermoplastic filament onto a foot mold to form an ultralight, seamless, sock-like fit free of traditional stitching or glue. Clean laboratory-style coding—reading ON-DCPT-KM410 and LightSpray—is applied across the lateral collar and midfoot alongside the distinctive On emblem.

The centerpiece update on the KM410 is its striking, high-shine metallic chrome outsole. Set beneath a transparent chassis, the reinforced spine features subtle "Swiss Engineering" detailing and supports an aggressive stud layout with sharp bladed and chevron studs engineered specifically for Mbappé's explosive straight-line speed.

While the prototype remains strictly an experimental test model for Mbappé, On is scheduled to release its first commercially available football boot range in 2027.

Arsenal goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has become the latest player to test the upcoming next-generation Adidas adiPURE football boots. During a recent training session at London Colney, the Spanish shot-stopper took to the pitch in an all-white prototype pair. While initial posts on social media labeled the footwear as a next-gen Copa, the boot is actually part of the highly anticipated comeback of the iconic adiPURE silo. Big thanks to bootsclub.

The prototype highlights the heritage-focused direction of the new silo, evoking strong memories of the classic adiPURE 11pro series. Up close, the boot features a premium quilted, cross-stitched leather forefoot engineered for a soft, natural ball touch, paired with traditional central lacing and an adaptive floating tongue. The testing model also showcases tonal embossed Three Stripes branding and the brand's newly developed Adiframe outsole, engineered to deliver smooth flexibility and balanced stud pressure distribution.

Adidas is retiring the modern Copa line to reinstate adiPURE as its flagship leather touch silo alongside the Predator and F50. Kepa joins several other high-profile athletes trialing the blackout and whiteout prototypes ahead of their launch in early 2027, following sightings on Bayern Munich's Jonathan Tah, Barcelona midfielder Pedri, and Cruz Azul talent Ariel Castro.

Images of an unreleased Beşiktaş 18-19 anthem jacket prototype have surfaced online via kit collector Kamil Berberler, providing an interesting behind-the-scenes look at how Adidas initially planned to integrate the club's third star. Under Turkish football regulations, teams earn a star for every five league titles, and Beşiktaş officially secured their 15th league championship at the end of the 2016-17 campaign.

Because the production timeline for the 17-18 season required apparel to be finalized before the league title was mathematically clinched, Adidas was forced to add the third star directly on top of the existing two stars in a triangular formation. The newly revealed 18-19 prototype reveals that Adidas originally planned to abandon the pyramid shape in favor of a clean, horizontal side-by-side arrangement of all three stars directly above the crest.

Beyond the star alignment, the prototype also features an older crest material. The sample was created using a traditional flock crest, whereas the final retail pieces and official kits for the 18-19 season transitioned to modern TPU badges. Ultimately, Beşiktaş retained the triangular star layout on official merchandise, making this jacket a rare glimpse at an alternate design direction.

Kit collector Semih Keçecioğlu has gotten his hands images on a massively interesting prototype for the FC Barcelona 125th anniversary kit.

Created during a period of uncertainty surrounding the club's kit supplier contract, the unreleased 24-25 design offers a glimpse at the design created by the club if the Nike partnership would have broken.

Besiktas today released their 2026-2027 Nike kits. Due to the late agreement of the deal, the club received not fully bespoke looks - Adidas had already prepared bespoke designs for Besiktas.

Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has been spotted testing a whiteout prototype of the next-generation Adidas Predator 2026 football boots during training. The England international, who has long served as one of the primary ambassadors for the Adidas Copa Pure line, took to the pitch in an unreleased all-white boot featuring a laced setup and a low-cut knit tongue design identical to the configuration favored by club teammate Martin Odegaard.

Declan Rice to Leave Adidas: Spotted in Whiteout Boots

Sep 4, 2026

The sighting is particularly intriguing given recent speculation surrounding Rice's boot sponsorship. The midfielder had previously been seen trialing unbranded whiteout models from rival brands, including the Nike Tiempo and Under Armour Magnetico 6, sparking rumors that he might depart the Three Stripes. However, his active role in testing Adidas's upcoming flagship control boot suggests that negotiations are progressing and that he could remain with the brand, potentially transitioning from the Copa to the Predator silo.

The next-generation Adidas Predator 27 is scheduled to launch in December 2026, lor January 2027. The upcoming generation draws heavy visual inspiration from the iconic 2000 Predator Precision, incorporating modern Nanostrike rubber grip elements, a redesigned Powerspine soleplate structure, and an engineered Primeknit upper across laced, laceless, and fold-over tongue variants.
