The 2026 World Cup has provided a massive stage for the world's biggest sportswear brands to showcase their latest boot packs, but a closer look reveals a fascinating array of player-specific customizations. While retail versions of these boots are worn by the majority of players, high-resolution photography from the tournament has highlighted several special, heavily modified boots that differ significantly from what is available to the public.

Through close-up shots shared by boot enthusiast @bootsplug, we can see the intricate details and hidden modifications that often go unnoticed during regular match broadcasts. The close-up images reveal an impressive level of personalization. Players have taken to the pitch in boots featuring custom national flags, personalized text, and unique stitching patterns.

Chelsea star Cole Palmer has been spotted wearing the new Nike Mercurial Vapor 17 boots during the club's 26-27 preseason training. This marks a surprising shift, as Nike has prominently positioned the attacking midfielder as a leading face of the Phantom boot line. Images from the training session show him testing the latest generation of the Mercurial Vapor, raising questions about a potential change in his footwear preference ahead of the new season. Thanks to Bootsclub.

Palmer previously favored the Mercurial line earlier in his career before becoming one of the main athletes for the Phantom series. It remains to be seen whether this is just a temporary test of the new Nike Mercurial Vapor 17 or a permanent return to his former boot of choice. As Chelsea continues their preparations for the 26-27 campaign, we will keep a close eye on Palmer's boots in upcoming preseason matches.

During the recent match against England on July 15, Enzo Fernandez caught the attention of boot spotters by wearing a familiar pair of cleats. Instead of opting for the latest Nike releases, the Argentine midfielder laced up in the Nike Phantom GT2 boots, specifically the exact colorway he wore during the final stages of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Big thanks to @marcadegol.

This is not an isolated incident, as Fernandez was also spotted wearing the same Qatar-era boots earlier in the month on July 7. Returning to a boot model that is nearly four years old suggests that he may be looking for the same feel and comfort that accompanied his breakout performance and ultimate victory on the global stage, with some fans dubbing them his lucky boots. The Nike Phantom GT2 was officially succeeded by the Phantom GX and subsequently the Phantom GX 2 and Luna 2 lines.

Footy Headlines has shared more images of Travis Scott alongside the special Phantom 6 'Cactus Jack', which was officially released at the end of June.

The new photos capture a gritty, street-inspired aesthetic that perfectly reflects Travis Scott's signature style.

Prior to the launch, Travis was also spotted wearing the TF (Turf) version of the boots at Nike's TOMA event in Miami in December 2025.

Nike has expanded the presence of its special-edition Mercurial Scorpion boots on the pitch for the final stages of the 2026 World Cup. Initially, the striking design was expected to be an exclusive colorway reserved solely for signature stars Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr. during the knockout rounds. However, the boots have now been rolled out to several other high-profile players in the brand's roster as the tournament reaches its conclusion. Big thanks to bootsclub.

Taking inspiration from the iconic 2002 Scorpion campaign, the special colorway is available in both the Superfly 11 and Vapor 17 models. In recent matches, players such as Marcus Rashford, Mikel Oyarzabal, and Enzo Fernández have all been spotted wearing the Scorpion Mercurials. This wider rollout ensures the retro-inspired design gets maximum visibility on international football's biggest stage.

Bri Spence, sister of Djed Spence, has shared a photo of her brother receiving a special gift from Lionel Messi after the 2026 World Cup Semi-Final - an Argentina away shirt.

However, our Vietnamese partner @jerseystory_vn spotted that this was not a match-worn jersey, but actually a replica shirt instead.

It is highly likely that Messi and his staff prepared a batch of replica shirts specifically to give away as gifts to opponents and fans after each match.
