Speed Boots Reign in Champions League! - 10/03/10
Speed boots reigned supreme in the Champions League as they scored five goals for Arsenal, who trounced Porto 5-0 to reach the Quarter Finals.
Speed football boots are a specific boot category that meet a certain criteria, and are suitable for a certain type of player. A speed boot is lightweight, has a thin upper for dribbling touch and feel, and a traction sole-plate for acceleration and turning. The three leading boots in the speed category are the Nike Mercurial Superfly, adidas F50i and the Puma v1.10, and it was a great showing from all three for Arsenal in the Champions League...
Nicklas Bendtner stole the show wearing the white/black/pink Nike Superfly football boots, which benefit from Nike's Flywire technology. Smashing a hat-trick against Porto, Bendtner positioned himself in the right place at the right time to convert two chances, before completing his hat-trick from the penalty spot.
Samir Nasri scored a brilliant individual goal after 64 minutes, collecting the ball just outside the area on the right, Nasri twisted past three Porto defenders before drilling a low shot in off the far post from the tightest of angles. Nasri was playing in the new Champions League scarlet red adidas F50i football boots, which benefit from a SprintSkin upper, a lace cover and the option to customise your stud choice.
Emmanuel Eboue completed the speed boot rout wearing the gold/black/red Puma v1.10 football boots, which have carbon-fibre embedded into the sole-plate and an upper made from a combination of performance materials. Eboue showed impressive speed as he sprinted the length of the pitch to pierce through the Porto defence and latch onto an Arshavin pass, slotting the ball into the back of the net.
Players who wear Speed football boots are usually technically gifted, with pace and skill attributes of their game. So it's not surprising Arsenal players are wearing speed football boots, as they play a fast paced free flowing game of football.
