The 2026 World Cup will be the largest in history, with expanded nations and more players competing across Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Alongside the on-field drama, a fierce footwear battle is unfolding among major brands. This guide covers every boot pack set to appear this summer, from Nike and adidas to PUMA, New Balance, Skechers, and Mizuno.
A dominant colour story has emerged across the tournament packs: pink. Nike, adidas, and New Balance all lead with pink-based designs, while PUMA and Skechers incorporate pink tones into neon finishes. The similarity is no accident – it combines maximum pitch visibility, coincidence, and a nod to the host nations’ vibrant energy. Here is the full rundown of the boots on show.
Nike Breakout Pack
The headline from Nike’s Breakout Pack is the separation of the Mercurial line into two distinct models for the first time since 2018. The Mercurial Vapor 17 is lean, low-cut, and built for direct speed, while the Mercurial Superfly 11 focuses on underfoot snap rather than just a higher collar. The Phantom range brings grip and accuracy, and the Tiempo Maestro breaks from its conservative past to return as a creator’s boot after more than a decade.
Key athletes:
- Mercurial Superfly 11: Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal), Kylian Mbappé (France), Alphonso Davies (Canada), Marcus Rashford (England)
- Mercurial Vapor 17: Vinícius Júnior (Brazil)
- Phantom 6 Low: Erling Haaland (Norway), Raúl Jiménez (Mexico), Hwang Hee-Chan (South Korea)
- Tiempo Maestro: Jamal Musiala (Germany), Estêvão (Brazil)
adidas Road to Glory Pack
adidas unites the Predator, F50, and COPA under a vivid “Solar Red” base with black accents and gold detailing inspired by the FIFA World Cup Trophy. A historic first: the trophy appears on the heel counter of every model in the pack.
Key athletes:
- Predator 26 FT: Jude Bellingham (England), Pedri (Spain), Jonathan David (Canada)
- F50 HYPERFAST Laceless: Lamine Yamal (Spain), Son Heung-min (South Korea), Gio Reyna (U.S.)
- F50 HYPERFAST: Ousmane Dembélé (France), Julián Alvarez (Argentina), Gilberto Mora (Mexico)
- Copa Pure 4: Declan Rice (England)
PUMA Showtime Pack
PUMA’s Showtime pack brings the Future 9, Ultra 6, and King 20 in bold, tropical-inspired designs. Each boot features mismatched left and right colourways, continuing a signature aesthetic that began with the brand’s 2014 “Tricks” pack.
Key athletes:
- Future 9: Neymar Jr. (Brazil), Kai Havertz (Germany), Morgan Rogers (England), Weston McKennie (U.S.)
- Ultra 6: Memphis Depay (Netherlands), Cody Gakpo (Netherlands)
New Balance Pure Ambition Pack
New Balance’s Pure Ambition Pack highlights how elite players define speed, control, and craft on their own terms. Released in March, the Furon v8 and Tekela v5 have already seen action in the closing stages of the 2025/26 season, and now shift focus to the World Cup. The 442 v3 completes the set.
Key athletes:
- Furon v8: Timothy Weah (U.S.), Eberechi Eze (England), Yan Diomande (Côte d’Ivoire), Djed Spence (England)
- Tekela v5: Endrick (Brazil)
Skechers Sunset Pack
Skechers makes its first appearance at a men’s World Cup, looking to prove itself on the global stage. Both the SKX_2 and Razor 2 adopt a Los Angeles dusk aesthetic.
Key athletes:

- Razor 2: Anthony Elanga (Sweden), Barış Alper Yılmaz (Türkiye)
Mizuno Prism White Pack
A clean white base is accented with Lava Orange and Evening Primrose hits. The Mizuno White Prism pack is bright and bold without losing the brand’s classic elegance.
Key athletes:
- Alpha III: Maxence Lacroix (France)
- Morelia Neo Beta V: Maya Yoshida (Japan)
New Balance x Stone Island
The New Balance x Stone Island collaboration draws from 1990s football culture with an archive-reengineered feel rather than pure retro styling. The colour scheme is more subdued than the main tournament packs, appealing to those in the know.
Key athlete: Furon v9: Bukayo Saka (England)
adidas F50 ‘El Último Tango’
adidas gives Lionel Messi a boot nicknamed ‘El Último Tango’ for what could be a final World Cup appearance. The design pulls inspiration from the F50.6 TUNiT he wore at his first World Cup in 2006, finished in Argentina’s national colours.
Key athlete: Lionel Messi (Argentina)
KidSuper x PUMA Ultra 6 Pulisic
With the World Cup on home soil, PUMA and long-time collaborator KidSuper created a special edition Ultra 6 for United States captain Christian Pulisic.
Key athlete: Christian Pulisic (U.S.)
