New Year Football Boots Spotting - 04/01/11
To accompany the New Year there was plenty of new football boots taking to pitches across the globe, and as always our team of enthusiastic boot spotters were on hand to snap the best of the action...
Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) Nike T90 Laser III |
|
Here's a great shot of Wayne Rooney and team-mate Patrice Evra sporting the new black/electric green Nike T90 Laser III football boots, and Rooney must think his new boots are a lucky charm after scoring his first goal in open play since March! |
|
Fernando Torres (Liverpool) Nike T90 Laser III |
|
Fernando Torres struck a great volley in his new white leather Nike Laser III football boots, and we think Nike have finally got the hint from Fernando, that if they expect him to wear a new boot then it has to be white leather. |
|
Zlatan Ibrahimovic (AC Milan) Nike Mercurial Superfly II |
|
The black/circuit orange Nike Mercurial colourway looks like being a popular release, as plenty of Vapor players like Ibrahimovic were spotted in the latest Nike football boots. It also looks as though Ibrahimovic was sporting the original Superfly II sole-plate, and we also couldn't help but notice some interesting personalisation. |
|
Clint Dempsey (Fulham) Nike T90 Laser III |
|
Former Superfly wearer Clint Dempsey was another Premier League player to be spotted wearing the new Black/Green Nike T90 Laser III football boots as Fulham suffered a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. |
|
Dani Alves (Barcelona) Nike Mercurial Superfly I |
|
Before the European winter break, we spotted Dani Alves wearing his old Nike Superfly I football boots in place of his adidas adizero boots. We were interested to see that Alves has so far stuck to his latest boot choice as Barcelona took on Levante as La Liga returned to full action. |
|
Didier Drogba (Chelsea) Nike Mercurial Superfly II |
|
After wearing his black/volt Superfly I football boots for so long, Drogba's new Superfly II football boots unfortunately look a little dull with the circuit orange colour-scheme. But it's great to see Drogba is upholding the Nike (RED) campaign and has threaded in a some red laces. |
|
Bojan Krkic (Barcelona) Nike T90 Laser III Elite |
|
Barcelona's Bojan Krkic was one of many players who chose to update the colour-way of their Nike T90 Laser III Elite football boots as Barclona beat Levante to keep distance between themselves and Real Madrid at the top of La Liga. Bojan is one of the T90 wearers who chooses the Elite versions of the Nike boots. |
|
Hassan Ali (Al Ahli) adidas Predator PowerSwerve |
|
A random pair of adidas Predator PowerSwerve football boots here, which feature a very bright and bold yellow colour-scheme and a stand-out white heel counter. These adidas football boots are worn by Hassan Ali of Al Ahli, who struck a spectacular volley that went in off the cross bar against AC Milan in the Emirates Challenge Cup final. |
|
Alexandre Pato (AC Milan) Nike Mercurial Superfly II |
|
We're finally seeing a good number of players choosing the new Black/Orange Nike Mercurial Superfly II football boots. AC Milan's Pato was spotted wearing a pair alongside fellow team mate Ibrahimovic during the Emirates Challenge Cup. |
|
Antonio Cassano (AC Milan) Diadora Kobra K Pro |
|
AC Milan and former Real Madrid player Antonio Cassano spotted in his usual pair of bright Orange Diadora Kobra K Pro football boots as AC Milan took part in the Emirates Challenge Cup in Dubai. |
|
Mark Noble (West Ham) Nike T90 Laser III |
|
Despite being a majority black boot, West Ham's Mark Noble showed again how tte electric green pods stand-out on the new Nike T90 Laser III football boots. Although due to the boots being all black, we can't see whether the midfielder is sporting the Elite versions or the standard as Noble is one of the players to previously opt for the Elites. |
|
Kaka (Real Madrid) adidas adiPURE IV |
|
Kaka made his long awaited return to the Real Madrid side after knee surgery following the World Cup. As expected, Kaka was wearing the new adiPURE IV White/Blue football boots with a SG sole-plate as he came off the bench to mark his comeback. |
|
Robinho (AC Milan) adidas adiZero |
|
Robinho is still sporting his blacked out adizero football boots and was spotted at the weekend during AC Milans Emirates Challenge Cup football match in Dubai. It will be interesting to see if he takes to the new adizeros or Prime boots when they begin to hit pitches. There's also a bonus boot spot here with the Al-Ahli player spotted wearing a pair of Nike Air Zoom Total 90 II boots. |
|
Sylvain Distin (Everton) adidas adiZero |
|
Everton defender Sylvain Distin spotted in a customised pair of adidas adizero football boots as Everton took on Stoke at the weekend. It looks like Distin has given his White/Pink adizero boots the black marker treatment, blacking out the Pink stripes and tongue. |
|
Javier Chica (Espanyol) Nike T90 Laser III |
|
Espanyol defender Javier Chica was another player spotted wearing the latest colour-way of the Nike T90 Laser III football boots. Espanyol failed to overcome Valencia as they took all three points winning 2-1 at the Mestalla stadium. |
|
Hugo Rodallega (Wigan Athletic) Nike Mercurial Superfly I |
|
Wigan striker Hugo Rodallega spotted in his unique pair of White/Purple Nike Mercurial Superfly I football boots that were originally designed for England Rugby player Ugo Monye. Only 70 limited edition pairs were released so we're impressed Rodallega has got his hands on a pair! |
