Fernando Forestieri (Watford) Nike Tiempo Legend V
Watford made the short trip across the capital to take on Chelsea in the FA Cup third round at Stamford Bridge. The visitors' Argentine striker Fernando Forestieri was laced up in a custom all red Tiempo V as his side were dumped out at the first hurdle as Mourinho's men recorded a comprehensive 3-0 win.
Esteban Granero (Real Sociedad) adidas Predator Instinct
For a boot that packs such a classic colourway we've been surprised to see how few pairs of the black/red/white Predator Instincts have made it on pitch. The iconic colour combo is everything traditional Pred fans have been asking for and although adidas have opted to keep their players in the brighter drop it's still arguably the hottest Pred paint job of 2014.
Alvaro Negredo (Valencia) Warrior Superheat
Man City might be wishing they'd kept hold of Alvaro Negredo with their current striker shortage. The Valencia frontman is one of few top players that is firmly in New Balance's plans for 2015 and whilst the identity switch is being finalised Negredo is still wearing a white-out pair of Warrior Superheat boots.
Aziz Behich (Australia) Nike Mercurial Vapor XV
In May 2013 Nike released 1998 pairs of Mercurial Vapor XV boots to celebrate 15 years since Ronaldo wore them at the 1998 World Cup. One of the most limited releases of 2013, the boots were snapped up by collectors worldwide but Australia's Aziz Behich snagged a pair to rep on-pitch and he's still sporting them over 18 months later.
Takuya Iwata (Auckland) Asics Menace LE
Auckland took on Japan in a friendly this week, a confusing tie for Auckland's Japanese player Takuya Iwata. Iwata laced up against his fellow countrymen in a Japan exclusive Asics boot labelled the 'Menace LE', a tidy looking leather boot with strong branding on the instep.
Biagui Kamissoko (Grenoble) adidas 11Pro
Fourth tier Grenoble pulled off a sensational performance to knock Ligue 1 Marseille out of the French Cup on penalties at the weekend. The pick of the boot spotting action from the heroic minnows came via the feet of Biagui Kamissoko who was wearing an all red edition of the previous adidas 11Pro model.
Cesc Fabregas (Chelsea) Puma evoPOWER 1 Cesc
PUMA continued their signature series by handing Cesc Fabreags his own exclusive evoPOWER colourway featuring a new 'C4' logo. The Chelsea midfielder bagged his weekly assist in them but was on the wrong side of a 5-3 result as Chelsea were out-played by a rampant Tottenham at White Hart Lane on New Year's Day.
James Hanson (Bradford) Nike Premier
Bradford's James Hanson was keeping things old school at the weekend in the SG version of the Nike Premier. The updated sole-plate was released by Nike this Autumn due to the high demand of the FG Premier by players looking for a traditional boot that could handle a wetter pitch. Black and white leather, six studs, no nonsense.
Nikola Petkovic (Sydney FC) adidas F50 adizero
The adidas 'Hunt Series' featured glow in the dark technology because... well, because why not? The pack wasn't taken up by adidas' high-profile contracted players but made it's way onto the feet of Sydney's Nikola Petkovic who was sporting them against Brisbane Roar.
Idriss Kameni (Malaga) Nike T90 Laser III
Malaga's goalkeeper Idriss Kameni was taking part in a charity game this week wearing a pair of Nike T90 Laser III boots. The Platinum/Orange Blaze/Black colourway was launched in September 2010 before being replaced by the T90 Laser IV and then the HyperVenom, not that Kameni is bothered, he knows what he likes.
Mark Randall (MK Dons) adidas Predator adiPower
Mark Randall was another player turning to the archives this weekend as he repped a pair of the Slime/Indigo/Blue adidas Predator adiPower boots, a February 2012 drop that was taken on by the majority of adidas' Pred players at the time of release.
Tim Cahill (Australia) New Balance
Tim Cahill has been getting used to his new and currently unnamed New Balance football boots while on international duty with Australia. The ex-Everton man had been one of the lead players for Warrior and will continue to represent the company when they switch to their parent brand New Balance this year.
