The 2026 World Cup has a pink‑cleat problem… and it’s not what you think. Brands tried to stand out — and ended up blending in. #worldcup2026 #worldcup #football #soccer #cleats #footballboots #fifa #footballshorts #futbol #nike #adidas

Wasted opportunity to have cleats in each nation's colors. That shit would sell like hot cakes.

Pretty smart how they all decided to use the same color so every brand is on a equal playing field advertising wise

I miss how big of a deal World Cup boots were. 2014 was the last year I felt it was a huge thing. I'll never forget those adidas ads. Especially the one with that unreleased Kanye song.

And then there is Fabinho 😂 never strays away from his all black boots, the english commentators actually made a remark about it in the brazil morrocco game as pretty much every player wore pink or red, and standing dead centre was fabinho in all black boots, made him stand out more than the rest of them imo
