Lionel Messi’s long-standing partnership with adidas just got a fresh new twist – and this time, it’s all about lifestyle, not matchday.

The new ‘Messi x Originals’ capsule is a sleek, summer-inspired collection built for comfort and everyday style. It features five key pieces: track pants, shorts, a T-shirt, hoodie and a bold reinvention of adidas’ iconic Superstar sneakers – all available in both adult and kids sizes.

The apparel keeps things clean and classic, with Messi’s personal logo and adidas’ Trefoil front and centre. The T-shirt and hoodie come in royal blue or light brown, with matching track pants and shorts featuring the same minimalist design.

But it’s the sneakers that really make a statement.

One pair channels the bright pink tones of Inter Miami’s home kit, set against a translucent gum sole. The other reflects the club’s 2025 third kit, blending aquatic blue accents with a soft cream white foundation – tropical, sleek, and unmistakably Messi.

It’s a sharp crossover between sportswear heritage and Messi’s unmistakable brand – perfect for fans who want to bring a little magic to their everyday look.

The ‘Messi x Originals’ range is available now via adidas’ official online store.

David Raya’s wedding was always going to be unforgettable – and he made sure of it before the big day even began.

The Arsenal and Spain goalkeeper, known for his offbeat sense of humour, had already gone viral earlier in the year for his stag do antics, dressing as an air hostess and serving passengers on a flight to Las Vegas. But he had one more trick up his sleeve.

The day before his wedding, Raya arrived at the venue in hilarious fashion – wearing a giant inflatable tuxedo alongside his groomsmen. The group, bouncing with energy (and padding), danced and laughed their way into the celebrations.

Raya even added a touch of surreal style with a diamond-encrusted (fake, we hope) ski mask, leading the crew with some bold dance moves.

Then came the serious part – well, sort of. Raya and his fiancée, Tatiana Trouboul, officially tied the knot the following day in a glamorous yet intimate ceremony in their native Spain, surrounded by friends and family.

After saying “I do,” the couple jetted off to an exotic honeymoon destination, where they shared dreamy photos embracing on a yacht and enjoying romantic moments by the ocean.

From inflatable suits to heartfelt vows, Raya proved that his wedding – much like his personality – was anything but boring.

Arsenal have had some truly jazzy kits over the years – from the fluorescent 2023/24 away kit to the zig-zagged navy and red third strip from 2021/22, and of course, the iconic ‘bruised banana’ away shirt of the early 1990s.

Now, they have another bold design to add to the collection – this time in the form of a new 2025/26 pre-match shirt.

Inspired by London’s legendary Caribbean street celebration, the Notting Hill Carnival, Arsenal’s latest pre-match jersey is every bit as vibrant as the festival itself.

Yellow, black and blue are blended together in a striking brushstroke and feather pattern that looks more suited to a Caribbean beach than a chilly North London pitch.

But the jersey is just the start – the launch is part of a wider lifestyle collection that Arsenal have dubbed the ‘Festival’ pack.

It includes matching shorts, a reversible bucket hat, track top, hoodie and t-shirt, all extending the carnival narrative with street-ready flair and colour.

Drawing inspiration from adidas’ classic Urban Pursuit training gear from the 2000s – recognisable for its distinct panelling and seam details – the rest of the lifestyle collection is just as striking, though the standout pieces are the track top and matching shorts. Featuring a bold yellow-and-blue design, they unmistakably nod to the iconic ‘bruised banana’ kit.

Whether you’re heading to the Emirates Stadium, dancing through Carnival, or kicking back on a beach, this drop delivers a funky fit for every occasion.

All items from the collection are available now via Arsenal and adidas’ official online stores.

Manchester United have appointed Olympic legend Lord Sebastian Coe to spearhead the development of their proposed new 100,000?seater stadium – the centrepiece of the Old Trafford Regeneration Project.

Coe, a two-time Olympic gold medallist and current President of World Athletics, has been named Chair-Designate of the Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC), the new body overseeing the transformation of the area around Old Trafford.

The project, expected to span a decade, aims not only to deliver a state-of-the-art stadium – which would become the largest in the United Kingdom – but also to revitalise the surrounding district with investment in housing, infrastructure, education and transport.

United first unveiled their plans for a new £2bn ground in March, which will be built close to the current stadium – widely viewed as outdated and in disrepair. The club hopes to complete the project within five to six years, and ultimately host the 2035 Women’s World Cup final at the new venue.

Lord Coe, who previously led the Old Trafford Regeneration Task Force – which explored the initial feasibility of the stadium and wider development – and famously chaired London’s successful 2012 Olympic and Paralympic bid, said he is “delighted” to continue working on the initiative.

“Throughout my career, I’ve seen the difference that sports-led regeneration can make in fostering strong communities and acting as a catalyst for economic growth,” Coe said. “That was certainly true of the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics – and now, I believe, Greater Manchester’s moment has come.”

“This is about so much more than just a stadium. It’s about listening to and working with residents to create a vibrant, inclusive district, with high-quality housing, green spaces, world-class leisure and education facilities, and improved transport links.”

United’s CEO Omar Berrada praised the appointment: “Lord Coe’s proven leadership and track record in delivering transformational projects will be invaluable as we work together to turn our collective vision into reality.”

Tottenham Hotspur’s third kit for the 2025/26 season has leaked – and it’s a bold throwback to a bygone era that will please fans of vintage football design.

Shared by RetroFSUK, the new Nike third jersey features a striking yellow base, navy sponsor and Swoosh logos, and pacific blue detailing, including trim on the sleeves and collar. The colour scheme is reminiscent of Spurs’ 2020/21 away kit – the last time the club wore yellow.

Front and centre on the chest is AIA, the club’s main sponsor, while Nike’s logo is placed in the top right corner. But the biggest design twist? The club crest.

Rather than the current Spurs badge, the shirt features a retro crest, used between 1999 and 2006 – and inspired by even earlier iterations from 1983 to 1995. It’s a nostalgic nod sure to resonate with long-time supporters.

According to Footy Headlines, the 2025/26 third kit is expected to be officially released in August.

The leaked third shirt completes the lineup of Tottenham’s 2025/26 kits.

The home shirt, already released, is traditional white with navy shoulder panels and a centralised Nike and club logo. Meanwhile, the away kit is a sleek all-black design, intended to signal the club’s return to Champions League football.

Tottenham’s kit game for the 2025/26 season looks to balance modern performance with a healthy dose of nostalgia – and this third kit might just be the standout.
