Weekend Football Boots Spotting - 21/03/11
It was a huge weekend for new Nike football boots that saw the on-pitch debut of the new Nike Mercurial Superfly III boots. This weeks boot-spotting is some what of a Nike special, with new colour-ways on show for all four boot silos! Our resident boot-spotters have scoured the globe so check out what boots and players have made it in this week...
Sergio Aguero (Atletico Madrid) Nike Mercurial Vapor 7 |
|
In the biggest match of the weekend Sergio Kun Aguero was spotted in the new Nike Vapor 7 boots. He was one of many players in the Madrid derby to wear the new Mercurial boots that saw Real Madrid claim an important 2-1 victory at the Vicente Calderon stadium. |
|
Bojan Krkic (Barcelona) Nike T90 Laser III Elite |
|
Barcelona youngster Bojan Krkic scored the Catalan sides second goal wearing an Elite pair of the new White/Black/Chlorine Nike T90 Laser III football boots as Barcelona beat Getafe 2-1 at the Camp Nou. |
|
Adriano (Barcelona) Nike Mercurial Superfly III |
|
The new Plum Red Nike Superfly III football boots combine really well with the Barcelona home strip. Adriano Correia was spotted wearing the new Mercurial boots during Barcelona's La Liga match against Getafe at the Camp Nou. |
|
Dani Alves (Barcelona) adidas F50 adizero Prime |
|
We needed to feature Dani Alves as much for his goal as we do for his boots! The Brazilian opened up the score-sheet with an incredible goal on the half-volley for Barcelona as they managed a 2-1 win over Getafe. |
|
Florent Malouda (Chelsea) Nike CTR360 Maestri II |
|
The new White/Black/Yellow CTR360 Maestri II boots seemed to be everywhere you looked over the weekend! Chelsea's Florent Malouda was one of many players to wear the new colourway as he customised them with a set of Nike (RED) laces. |
|
Fernando Torres (Chelsea) Nike T90 Laser III |
|
Torres didn't get that birthday goal he would have been so desperate for but he did get a new pair of boots! The Chelsea striker was spotted wearing the new White/Black/Chlorine Blue Nike T90 Laser III boots that featured personalisation on the inside. |
|
Glen Johnson (Liverpool) Nike CTR360 Maestri II |
|
The new White/Yellow Nike CTR360 Maestri II football boots are a good match for the Liverpool away kit so it was no surprise to see Liverpool's full back Glen Johnson wearing the latest colour-way. |
|
Raul Meireles (Liverpool) Nike Tiempo Legend III |
|
Liverpool's Raul Meireles spotted in the new Team Red Nike Tiempo Legend III football boots during Liverpool's Premier League game with Sunderland. The former Puma v1.10 wearer had the name 'Lara' personalised on the outside of his boots. |
|
Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) Nike T90 Laser III |
|
Wayne Rooney was another T90 player who had made the switch to the new White/Black/Chlorine Blue Laser III football boots. Could Rooney's new boots mark a change in form for the Manchester United striker who is now looking like the Rooney of old? |
|
Antonio Valencia (Manchester United) adidas F50 adiZero Leather |
|
Antonio Valencia has stuck with his decision to switch from his Pred X boots to the adiZero's. The United winger has worn the blacked-out boots since his return from injury. The Ecuadorian clearly isn't a fan of bright colours but maybe felt he needed a lighter boot than the Pred X's. A future adiPower wearer maybe? |
|
Lee Chung-Yong (Bolton) Nike Mercurial Superfly III |
|
Amazingly, Manchester United's regular starting 11 doesn't feature any Mercurial wearers so it was down to Bolton's Lee Chung-Yong to give the new Mercurial boots their Old Trafford debut as Bolton suffered a 1-0 defeat. |
|
Jack Wilshere (Arsenal) Nike CTR360 Maestri II |
|
With the new Nike CTR360 boots matching so perfectly with the Arsenal away kit, it was no surprise to see Jack Wilshere wearing the new colourway as Arsenal could only earn a point away to West Brom. |
|
Frank Ribery (Bayern Munich) Nike Mercurial Superfly III |
|
The Bundesliga was also treated to the arrival of the new Nike Mercurial Superfly III football boots over the weekend. Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery was one of many players to debut the new Mercurial boots during Bayern's match against SC Freiburg. |
|
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Saint-Etienne) Nike Tiempo Legend III |
|
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang spotted in a pair of the new Red Nike Tiempo Legend III football boots alongside a pair of Nike Safari boot's worn by Lorient's Bruno Ecuele Mange. As many players are doing, Aubameyang had removed the tongue from his Legend boots. |
|
Jacques-Alaixys Romao (Lorient) Nike Mercurial Superfly III |
|
Ligue 1 joined the Superfly III party over the weekend and Lorient's Frecnch midfielder Jacques-Alaixys Romao was one of the players to wear the new Mercurial boots as his side took on Saint Etienne. |
|
Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy) Nike CTR360 Maestri II Elite |
|
The new MLS season is now in full flow and it looks like Nike's new colour-ways have made it state-side! Galaxy's Landon Donovan was spotted in a SG pair of Elite CTR360 Maestri II football boots as his side took on the New England Revolution. |
|
Will Bruin (Houston Dynamo) adidas Predator X |
|
We don't get too many sightings of the Macaw Green adidas Predator X football boots but Houston Dynamo's Will Bruin gave us a rare spot! He was spotted in the Predator X boots during sides match against the Philadelphia Union. |
|
Nana Attakora (Toronto FC) Puma PowerCat |
|
Toroto FC's Nana Attakor was spotted in the under-rated White/Royal/Gold Puma Powercat 1.10 football boots during his sides match-up with the Vancouver Whitecaps. |

|
FC Dallas' number 10 David Ferreira was spotted in the Chrome adidas F50 adiZero football boots as his side took on the Chicago Fire at Pizza Hut Park. |
|
Tomislav Dujmovic (FC Dynamo Moscow) Nike Mercurial Superfly III |
|
The new Blue/Platinum/Orange Superfly III football boots were massively over-shadowed by the huge player uptake of the Red Plum colourway. Even so, we managed to spot Tomislav Dujmovic of FC Dynamo Moscow in a pair as his side took on FC Rostov. |
