Weekend Football Boots Spotting - 06/06/11

Weekend Football Boots Spotting - 06/06/11


The 10/11 season may have finished but our SoccerBible boot spotting is showing no signs of slowing down! It was a weekend of international fixtures full of great boot spots! Take a look and see what players and boots have made it in this week from across the globe!


Robinho (Brazi) Nike Mercurial Superfly III

Brazilian star Robinho gave us all another glimpse of his new Nike Mercurial Superfly colourway as Brazil took on the Netherlands in an international friendly match. We think we'll be seeing a lot more of this boot in the coming months!

 

Samir Nasri (France) adidas F50 adiZero Leather

Arsenal and France midfielder Samir Nasri made his first competitive appearance in the new Electricity leather adiZero football boots this weekend as France took on Belarus in their Euro 2012 qualifying match.   

 

Grant Xhaka (Switzerland) Puma v1.11 SL

Switzerland's Granit Xhaka gave us a first glimpse of the new Puma v1.11 SL boots on English soil as Switzerland took on England at Wembley stadium in their Euro 2012 qualifying match. The boots were hard to miss and admittedly looked great on pitch!

 

Dirk Kuyt (Netherlands) adidas Predator adiPower

More of a boot traditionalist, Liverpool's Dirk Kuyt has resisted any temptation to wear the brighter alternative of the new adiPower football boots. The Dutch striker was seen wearing a personalised pair of black/white/red Predator adiPower football boots as his side took on Brazil.  

 

Neymar (Brazil) Nike Mercurial Superfly III

Unlike his Brazilian striker partner, Santos superstar Neymar has yet to get his hands on Nike's latest Mercurial colourway! Even so, one of football's hottest properties still looked great wearing his blue pair of Superfly III football boots as Brazil took on the Netherlands.  

 

Karim Benzema (France) adidas F50 adiZero Prime

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema looked like he couldn't wait to get on his summer holidays as he was spotted wearing the new purple adiZero Prime football boots during France's Euro 2012 qualification match against Belarus. The France striker has flitted in and out of the leather adiZero and adiZero Prime but opted for the super-light version on this occasion. 

 

Albert Paloschi (Italy U21) adidas DB Predator adiPower

It hasn't taken long for Beckham's new adiPower football boots to catch on! Just weeks after their introduction to the boot world, fellow professionals are getting their hands on them. Italy's U21 player Albert Paloschi was spotted in the gold adiPower boots as his side took on Columbia.

 

Ibrahim Affelay (Netherlands) Puma v1.10 SL

After training in the new Puma v1.11 football boots, Barcelona's Ibrahim Affelay has continued to wear his trusted v1.10 SL football boots in both the UEFA Champions League Final and Holland's international friendly with Brazil. It looks like we'll have to wait until next season to see the Barca star in Puma's new speed boots!    

 

Ivan Helguera (Real Madrid All Stars) Nike Mercurial CR Vapor VII

The surprise boot spot of the week! Ex Real Madrid star Ivan Helguera was spotted wearing a pair of CR Vapor VII football boots during a Real Madrid All Star game! Formerly a defensive player and former Joma wearer, we were left scratching our heads when we spotted the Spanish man in Ronaldo's signature boots! 

 

Andre Schuerrie (Germany) adidas F50 adiZero Leather

Bayern Leverkusen youngster Andre Schuerrie was spotted in a SG pair of leather electricity adiZero football boots as his German side took on Austria in their Euro 2012 qualification match. Schuerrie has become one of many F50 players to take on the new adiZero colourway.

 

Zinedine Zidane (Real Madrid All Stars) adidas Predator adiPower

Real Madrid and adidas Predator legend Zinedine Zidane was spotted wearing the new adiPower football boots during a Real Madrid All Star game against Bayern Munich All Stars. As sharp as ever, the French midfielder really looked the part in his new black/white/red adiPower's!   

 

David Silva (Spain) adidas F50 adiZero Leather

David Silva was another F50 player making his final appearance of the season wearing a new adiZero boot! The Manchester City winger was seen wearing the unique purple adiZero colourway as Spain took on the USA in an international friendly fixture.   

 

John Carew (Norway) adidas adiPURE SL

John Carew was interestingly spotted in a blacked-out pair of adiPURE SL football boots before reverting back to his trusted adiZero's during Norway's Euro 2012 qualifying match with Portugal.
