Samir Nasri's Blacked-Out adidas Football Boots

Soccer_Boots — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 14:28:00 GMT

Samir Nasri and David Silva made boot spotting headlines last night, both wearing blacked out pairs of adidas football boots! In the wake of Lionel Messi's official on-pitch adizero miCoach debut, many expected the F50 pair to make the anticipated update last night at the El Madrigal stadium.

SoccerBible can reveal that the Man City duo were sporting an all-black pair of leather adizero miCoach football boots, despite speculation of the next-gen Predator being given some early competitive testing! After Messi's curtain-raising performance this week, expect Nasri, Silva and adidas' wealth of F50 talent to soon make the miCoach switch!

Understandably, there were cries from boot fans that City's skilful duo were testing the unreleased adidas Predator against Villareal after confirmed training spots of the new boot in action. Samir Nasri and David Silva were putting the next-gen Predator through its paces at Manchester City's training ground earlier this week.

Interestingly adidas have equipped some of its leading adizero midfield players with the new top-secret Predator. It's worth remembering that a number of F50 pro's made the switch to the adiPower. Could we be in line for another adizero exodus with the new upcoming Predator, shifting the adizero focus solely to 'speed players'?

The new adidas Predator will feature a complete redesign with new technologies. Developments have been made to a new lightweight synthetic upper designed to create a boot that offers improved ball control and feel. The latest Predator will follow in the footsteps of the adizero miCoach, becoming the first Pred to feature the technology.

The new adidas Predator will be a huge talking point up to its release next year prior to the EURO 2012 Championships. Let us know what you think about adidas latest design. Share your thoughts online, on Twitter and on Facebook.

Nani switches to adidas F50 adizero

Boot Spy — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 10:30:00 GMT

It seems the most popular football boots in the World right now, the adidas F50 adizero, have acquired another big name convert - Manchester United and Portugal starlet Nani turned out for the Red Devils against Bolton wearing the White/Pink F50 adizero boots!

The (former?) Mercurial star has often been subject to debate on quite just what he had on his feet - often seen playing in the Nike Mercurial Vapor series, sometimes in the Superfly - but now all those queries can be laid to rest with this bold statement from the United man.

Our army of boot spotters had picked up on Nani wearing adidas Predator boots in training earlier in the week, but these pictures of Nani in the adizero may make for some uncomfortable viewing with Swoosh fans.

Nani is the latest household name convert who has switched allegienace in speed boots - Chelsea's Nicolas Anelka, a former Puma v1 fan, and the ongoing will-he-won't-he with Barcelona's Dani Alves are just two elite players who now sport the Three stripes on their feet.

The football boots seemed to do the trick as well, with Nani scoring an excellent equaliser in the synthetic White/Pink adizero boots - complete with soft ground sole plate for the Reebok Stadium turf.

With Manchester United's UEFA Champions League trip to Valencia this week, all Boot Spotting eyes will be on Nani now to see whether this is just a one-off, or if he has switched to the adizero for good...
