Global Football Boots Spotting - 03/09/12

Raheem Sterling (Liverpool) Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII

Liverpool teen star Raheem Sterling proved he's worthy of the hype that currently surrounds him. The tricky winger put in another impressive performance against Arsenal wearing the Nike Vapor VIII Clash football boots. With Liverpool's thin squad this season, we're expecting to see a lot more of Sterling this season!

Edin Dzeko (Manchester City) adidas Predator DB LZ

Edin Dzeko bagged the winner for Manchester City wearing his new adidas Predator DB LZ football boots. City narrowly saw off QPR 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium sixteen weeks after last seasons dramatic finale. Dzeko was in action wearing the White/Pink David Beckham Preds for the first time.

James McClean (Sunderland) Nike GS

Sunderland winger James McClean is obviously a boot fan! He has managed to bag himself a pair of the highly limited Nike GS football boots, giving them their first taste of Premier League action as Sunderland took on Swansea.

Fredy Guarin (Inter Milan) Nike CTR360 Maestri III

Inter Milan midfielder Fredy Guarin had a few performances wearing the recognisable Sonic Yellow/Black Nike CTR360 Maestri III football boots before deciding he couldn't take any more of colour! For Inter's latest match against AS Roma, the Columbian showed off his black-marker skills with the disguised CTRs.

Nicolas Frey (AC Chievo Verona) miadidas Predator LZ

Nicolas Frey took the design of his adidas Predator LZ football boots into his own hands creating his own custom miadidas boots. His side were in Serie A action against Parma FC. We're not totally sold on his use of colours! We'll give the Frenchman's design efforts a 4/10!

Radamel Falcao (Atletico Madrid) Puma evoSPEED 1

Was Falcao out to impress his future employers? The Columbian striker netted a first half hat trick for Atletico Madrid in his sides 4-1 win over European Champions Chelsea. Falcao is being heavily linked with a move to Chelsea in the January transfer window. Along with Sergio Aguero, could Puma soon have two of the EPL's deadliest strikers?!

Ryad Boudebouz (Sochaux) miadidas f50 adizero miCoach

There's no photoshop trickery involved here! This is Ryad Boudebouz's answer to all of the flash colourway's we see nowadays - one of the most unimaginative miadidas creations ever! The midfielder was spotted wearing the unique looking boots in Sochaux's Ligue 1 match with Montpellier.

Danny Batth (Wolves) Nike T90 Laser IV

Danny Batth had a fresh coating of black-marker on his Nike T90 Laser IV Clash football boots for Wolves Capital One Cup tie with Northampton Town. The defender certainly has no interest in coloured boots - we've seen him black out his Nike football boots for the past year. He could have picked an easier colourway to cover up though!

Raphael Matthis (Austria) Under Armour 10K Force Pro II

Here's a boot you don't see every week. U17 Austrian international Raphael Matthis was spotted wearing the Blue/Orange Under Armour 10K Force Pro II football boots during the UEFA Toto Cup match between Austria and Germany. Not the biggest name in football but you've got to start somewhere!

Mikel Arteta (Arsenal) Puma evoSPEED 1

In his debut season for Arsenal, Mikel Arteta wore both the v1.11 and King SL. This season, the Spaniard has kicked-off another campaign with The Gunners wearing the evoSPEED 1. Against Liverpool, it was his first performance wearing the Orange/Charcoal/Green colourway - the exact match-worn boots you'll be able to win exclusively with SoccerBible as part of Puma's For Real campaign!

Marco Reus (Borussia Dortmund) Puma PowerCat 1.12

Marco Reus recently renewed his contract with Puma, and is certainly one of the brands most exciting young prospects. The German international recently gave us another look at his custom Puma PowerCat 1.12 boots with a bespoke mixed-stud configuration during Dortmund's Bundesliga match with FC Nuernberg.
