Introducing the third signature Nike design for Brazil and PSG superstar Neymar, the Mercurial Vapor NJR Silencio. With Cristiano Ronaldo currently sporting Mercurial Superfly 6 Elite boots, these dandies make Neymar the only footballer on Nike’s current roster with an active signature boot series.
The LA Galaxy unveiled its away jersey for the 2019 MLS season on Sunday night at an event in downtown LA, where thousands of Galaxy fans turned out to see the latest threads and Zlatan Ibrahimović.
After missing the playoffs for the second straight campaign in 2018, there’s cautious optimism for the Galaxy in 2019 with Zlatan announcing his return to go along with the appointment of former Boca Juniors boss Guillermo Barros Schelotto as manager.
Some of these 2019 MLS kits are looking pretty tasty. Given the time constraints placed on FC Cincinnati after being announced as an expansion club last May, we think the new boys still pulled off an admirable look for Year One.

According to Footy Headlines, adidas is planning on celebrating the 25-year anniversary of the Predator cleat by releasing three limited-edition boots that give an updated look to the classics that became synonymous with David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane.
First up it’s the adidas Predator Accelerator ZZ — Icon 25 Year. This gold/white/red/navy cleat is, of course, the one favored by Zidane, and it’s looking pretty impressive in the update.
Last preseason, AIK (a Swedish club based in Stockholm) released a special edition kit that harkened back to the shirts the team wore between 1901 and 1909. The all-black look caused quite a stir, and the limited release “Black Pack” collection sold out instantly.
I hope you can kick these balls with some of the world's best players. Here's a brief guide to the balls used in some of the world's most popular leagues and how much they cost.
English Premier League: The Nike Merlin, at a cool $160. Looks and feels like a classic professional ball.
We’ve finally got our first look at the all-new Nike PhantomVNM, which will officially drop on Jan. 19, 2019. The boot will be worn by the likes of Harry Kane and Alex Morgan, so you can probably guess what sort of footballer these are made for.
“My finishing is a balance between power and placement,” said Morgan in Nike’s press release for the cleat. “It depends where I am in the box, but I’d say my focus is usually 60/40 accuracy versus power.”
When the adidas Copa 19+ dropped back in November, it was a game changer. The world’s first-ever laceless leather boot revolutionized one of the most iconic cleats of all time, while the traditional aesthetic of the Copa Mundial boot was given a major facelift.
The Nike Total 90 brand was introduced in 2000 and effectively ended in 2013 with the launch of the Hypervenom, but the legacy of the boot was secure with the introduction of the Total 90 Laser range in 2007.
The Total 90 Laser I was synonymous with a 21-year-old Wayne Rooney — the Manchester United forward was in the midst of winning his first English Premier League title while scoring a then career best total of 23 goals in 55 appearances.
Soccer in Canada has never been better.
The country hosted a wonderful Women’s World Cup in 2015 and will be a co-host for the men’s World Cup in 2026. Christine Sinclair, 35, is one of the best women’s players of her generation and Alphonso Davies, 18, might be one of the best players of his future generation.
