Having concluded his quest for the 2026 FIFA World Cup trophy with Portugal, this also marks the final time we will see Cristiano Ronaldo grace football’s biggest stage. Ronaldo himself confirmed that the 2026 World Cup would be the last of his illustrious career.

His runs on the World Cup stage may have come to an end, but his legacy will endure forever. To honor that legacy, Nike Football shared an image carrying the message "His Legend Lives On", paying tribute to CR7's everlasting impact on the game.

French rising star Désiré Doué, has been frequently switching between the Nike Mercurial Vapor 17 and Superfly 11 boots over the past few weeks. Doué opted for the low-cut Nike Mercurial Vapor 17 for the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League final, but then surprised fans by starting the 2026 World Cup wearing the high-cut Superfly 11.

However, his stint with the Superfly 11 was short-lived, as Doué recently switched back to the Mercurial Vapor 17 for France's latest matches at the tournament. This indecision between the collared and non-collared versions of Nike's speed boot is notable for a player who is heavily featured in the brand's promotional campaigns. Doué has also been spotted wearing reissue Mercurial Vapor Superfly 1 boots recently, showcasing his affinity for the Mercurial heritage.

Nike has launched a brand-new colorway for the Tiempo Ligera football boots. The new edition introduces a clean and classic look, officially dubbed Chalk White / Racer Blue.

The Nike Tiempo Ligera Chalk White boots feature a buttery-soft TechLeather upper, providing a premium touch and comfortable fit. The design is kept simple, with the crisp Chalk White base complemented by subtle Racer Blue accents, creating an elegant aesthetic for players who prefer a traditional style.

The Nike Tiempo Ligera Pro Chalk White boots are available to buy now via Nike and select retailers like Pro:Direct Soccer. They retail at around 120 GBP to 135 GBP depending on the specific model variation.

We can leak the 6 new images of the new Adidas F50 Hyperfast football boots from the upcoming '2026 Fall' pack. Although it is a fake, the design is identical to the real one.

The boots feature a 'Pulse Mint' upper with navy blue stripes and 'Solar Lemon' yellow accents on the F50 branding.

Jude Bellingham has been spotted wearing the Adidas Predator boots from the new Chaos vs Control pack. The Real Madrid midfielder debuted the colorway during a recent training session, providing a first on-pitch look at the design ahead of the 2026-27 season.Thanks to @marcadegol.

It was a dream debut for Bellingham, who scored a brilliant brace to lead England to a 2-0 victory over hosts Mexico, sending the Three Lions into the quarter-finals, where they will face Norway.

In an interesting development during the 2026 World Cup, several Colombia national team players could soon be spotted wearing classic football boots. Mexican boot seller @soccerstoremx recently visited the Colombian national team's training camp in Mexico to showcase and sell a selection of iconic vintage cleats directly to the squad.

The visit provided the Colombian players with the opportunity to browse and purchase rare and discontinued models from past eras. With the players getting their hands on these classic boots, it raises the possibility that some of them will lace up in vintage footwear during their upcoming 2026 World Cup fixtures.

While modern boot technology dominates international tournaments, the appeal of classic designs remains strong among professional players. It remains to be seen which specific boot models were purchased by the Colombian squad and if any will make an official on-pitch appearance in the coming days.

Following Kylian Mbappé's recent appearances in the new boots, Vinicius Junior has now also taken the Nike Mercurial Scorpion Pack to the pitch. While Mbappé opts for the Superfly 11 version, Vinicius Junior was spotted wearing the low-cut Vapor 17 model. These special edition boots are completely exclusive to the two superstars for the knockout stages of the 2026 World Cup. Big thanks to Bootsclub & @sdmlinks.

The design of the new Nike Mercurial Scorpion Pack is heavily inspired by Nike's iconic 2002 Scorpion campaign. The collection brings the classic aesthetic into the modern era, applying it to the latest generation of Nike's speed boots.

Fans looking to get their hands on the boots will not have to wait long. The Nike Mercurial Scorpion Pack, including both the Superfly 11 and Vapor 17 versions, is scheduled to drop on July 9, 2026.

Kylian Mbappé has trained in the Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 'Scorpion', also sharing the boot in his social media story. The 'Scorpion' colorway is a special exclusive release reserved solely for Mbappé and Vinicius Jr, who will wear the boots during the upcoming knockout rounds of the 2026 World Cup. Thanks to Boots Club for the images.
