Adidas Ace -> Adidas A | Has Adidas Already Killed Off The Adidas Ace Boot Forever or Will We See a Last Goodbye Edition?

Adidas has quietly discontinued the Adidas Ace soccer cleat silo ahead of the launch of the all-new Adidas Predator 18 football boots...
Adidas Ace16+ Renamed to Adidas A 16+ For Possibly Last Ultra Boost Release
Adidas this week released three new Adidas Ace-inspired Ultra Boost sneakers, including one goodbye edition that merges the most popular designs of previous Adidas Ace 16+ Ultra Boost in one boot. However, while the sneaker is actually the same as before from a tech-point of view, Adidas called them just Adidas A 16+ Ultra Boost instead of Adidas Ace 16+ Ultra Boost, discontinuing the Adidas Ace 16+ Ultra Boost silo.
However, it is not certain yet that this has been all as there is at least still the possibility that Adidas will officially announce the end of the Ace boot silo (they boldly announced that the Adidas Predator would be history in 2015...), and it fans of the Adidas Ace would surely also be happy if Adidas would release a 'goodbye' edition of the Adidas Ace 17+ Purecontrol soccer cleats.
In fact, Nike released a very popular, special blackout Nike CTR 360 Maestri Boot 'goodbye edition' as the last ever colorway for the silo in 2014 ahead of the launch of the Nike Magista. This was likely due to the fact that Nike did not announce anything when they discontinued the Total 90 one year before, making fans of the silo angry.
Do you think that there will there be a goodbye edition of the Adidas Ace soccer cleats? Will Adidas officially announce that they discontinued the Adidas Ace? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
Newcastle Jets 26-27 Home, Away & Goalkeeper Kits Released
Newcastle Jets and New Balance have officially revealed the club's new home, away, and goalkeeper kits for the 26-27 A-League season. The launch completes the kit rollouts for all 13 clubs ahead of the league's kickoff on October 16. The release also marks the debut of Oz Shipping Containers as the men's team's new principal front-of-shirt partner.
The Newcastle Jets 26-27 home jersey arrives in the club's traditional gold, embellished with an understated tonal wave texture woven into the fabric. The shirt features a refined navy polo collar with a v-neck insert, bordered by subtle red and navy accents that continue down the sides and sleeve cuffs, and is worn with navy shorts. Meanwhile, the away kit opts for a clean white base paired with a champagne gold v-neck collar, side trim, and sleeve detailing, completed with gold shorts and white socks.
New Balance has also unveiled two goalkeeper strips to round out the collection. The first option is finished in vibrant teal, while the alternative is delivered in light blue, both showcasing bold geometric patterns and halftone gradients across the front. These strips complete the club's domestic wardrobe alongside their previously launched AFC Champions League Elite retro kits.

The home strip is finished with green shorts and matching socks.
