FA Cup action and a welcome return for Europe's premier competitions has thrown us up some tasty treats for this week's boot spotting. New releases and throwback gems, from Fleetwood to Kashiwa, here's what's caught our eye this week...
Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid) PUMA Future 19.1
In honour of Basketball's All-Star game this weekend, PUMA decided to release two special edition boots, forming the MVP Pack. In this pack was the PUMA Future, which was given to Basketball fan Antoine Griezmann to wear in Atletico's game against Rayo Vallecano. And as if to add significance to the pack name, Griezmann scored the only goal to win the game for his side.
Cristiano da Silva (Kashiwa Reysol) Nike Mercurial GS360 iD
In the first of what is a GreenSpeed hat-trick this week, Kashiwa Reysol skipper Cristiano celebrated scoring his side's second in their pre-season friendly against JEF United Chiba in his own stand-out Nike Mercurial GS 360 iD that he had customised with a core white look and black vamp. Tidy.
Daniele Verde (Real Valladolid) Nike Mercurial GS360 iD
Next up in the GS triple is Valladolid winger, Daniele Verde, who opted for a core black look with a stand-out orange vamp. The look was accented by bright laces that linked to the swoosh. Verde wore them in Valladolid's narrow loss to Barcelona.
Adam Ounas (Napoli) Nike Mercurial GS360 iD
Rounding off the GS trio, we have Napoli's Algerian attacking midfielder, Adam Ounas, who opted for a mix of the last two, with a core white and orange vamp look. Ounas came off the bench in Napoli's 1-3 Europa League victory against FC Zurich.
Kevin Prince-Boateng (Barcelona) PUMA Future 19.1
Following his surprise move to Barcelona, Kevin Prince-Boateng has yet to settle on a new boot. He appears to have switched from Under Armour to PUMA, but having recently been seen training in the ONE, this week he laced up in a blacked out Future.
Rosie Kmita (West Ham United Women) PUMA ONE 19.1
West Ham United Women demolished Huddersfield 8-1 in the SSE Women's FA Cup Fifth Round match, and one of the goalscorers, Rosie Kmita, was spotted wearing the Rose Gold PUMA ONE 19.1 from the Glory Pack, released at the beginning of the year.
Josh Parker (Charlton Athletic) Nike CTR360 Maestri II
Charlton striker Josh Parker was unfortunately unable to break the deadlock in his side's 0-0 draw with Blackpool this week, despite being kitted out in 2014s Nike CTR360 Maestri II. Takes the award for the best boot in the game though.
Harry Souttar (Fleetwood Town) adidas Predator adiPower
Another one from the archives here, as Fleetwood Town's Harry Souttar took to the field against Luton in 2011's adidas Predator adiPower. This was the eleventh incarnation of the Predator, and it saw the first instance of SprintFrame technology being used on the silo, as adidas looked to drastically reduce the weight of the boot. Goes well with the bandage look too.
Javi Fuego (Villarreal) adidas Nitrocharge 1.0
Another throwback, this time to 2013, as Villarreal's journeyman enforcer, Javi Fuego wore the adidas Nitrocharge 1.0 in his side's match against Sporting CP in the Europa League this week. The Nitrocharge Silo was a short lived affair, but it's nice to see the box-to-box boot still getting some love.
Kyle Walker (Manchester City) Nike Tiempo Legend VII
Kyle Walker continues to dabble with every boot in Nike's locker, and this week it was the turn of the Tiempo Legend VII, as the fullback turned out to training in the 'Game Over' colourway.
Corentin Tolisso (Bayern Munich) Nike Hypervenom Phantom I
Looking particularly pleased with himself, Bayern midfielder Corentin Tolisso turned up for training this week in a pair of OG Hypervenom Phantoms from 2013. While the silo has been retired in favour of the PhantomVNM, it's still always a pleasure to see the Hypervenom getting a run out, even if it's just in training.
