Spark In The Night: Adidas Unveils 2015/16 Third Kits

In a special launch event, Adidas unveiled the 2015/16 third kits for Europe's top clubs: Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan and Juventus. Throughout the summer Adidas held its #BETHEDIFFERENCE tournament in more than 30 cities around the world in search of the game's best playmakers. This past week, the final tournament was held in Marseille with some of the best professional players in Europe in attendance to launch the third kits for their teams including Oscar, Phillipe Mexes and Javi Martinez. 

The third kits all feature dark hues with bright details playing into the theme of a "Spark in the Night." One of the most hotly anticipated third kits is Adidas's new collaboration with Manchester United, which features a black colorway with bright red stripes. A special chevron graphic covers the upper chest in an ode to the chevron jersey worn by Ryan Giggs in his early nineties debut. All of the 2015/16 Adidas third kits incorporate details unique to the heritage, fans and cities of each club.

Back To Leather: Nike Tech Craft Collection

Never one to shy away from pushing the boundaries of innovation, Nike once again proves why it's at the forefront of boot design with the Tech Craft Pack: the first collection to offer leather uppers on all silhouettes. This was no easy feat. The uppers of the four existing silos all feature different materials from Flyknit to loft mesh, and figuring out how to fuse a soft layer of leather to these proved to be quite difficult.

The Nike design team utilized a variety of tools and computer technology to create the prototypes that would eventually influence the final designs of the leather boots. All four boots feature a thin layer of leather fused strategically to the high-contact sections of the uppers. The leather was also treated with a balance of oils and steam to prevent stiffening and allow the uppers to retain their responsive ball touch. The Tech Craft Pack will be worn on pitch by Edinson Cavani, Alexis Sanchez, and Blaise Matuidi.

The Nike Tech Craft Pack will be available in adult sizes in The Soccer Shop in late August/ early September.

Adidas Manchester United 15/16 Away Kit

New Manchester United kit provider, Adidas, drew inspiration from the past when designing the new 2015/16 Man U Away kit. Looking back into the archives, Adidas utilized a classic white and red colorway. The design was inspired by the legendary and talented "Busby Babes" teams of the 1960s era of Manchester United. The jersey features a red v-neck with the iconic red 3-stripes running down the sleeves, and a hem pattern inspired by the jersey worn by Ryan Giggs in his early 90s debut.

The 2015/16 Man U away kit is now available in The Soccer Shop in both adult & youth sizes.
