ALEXANDRE PATO
Nike Mercurial Vapor V football boots
Pato started the season wearing the Nike Legend III football boots, but has now changed into the new Vapor V's, which he has customised by removing the lace-cover. Unfortunately, Alexandre Pato couldn't find the back of the net and AC Milan drew 0-0 away to Livorno.

JOHN ARNE RIISE

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC
Nike Vapor Superfly football boots
Zlatan Ibrahimovic appears to have settled into his new Barcelona side, as he has now scored in successive games for the league champions. People may be wary of him being an eccentric player, but will anyone care as long as he continues to score goals.

DAMIEN DUFF
adidas adiPure II football boots
Duff scored his first goal for new side Fulham wearing adidas adiPure football boots. Cutting inside the penalty box, Damien Duff fired a powerful winning goal past the Everton keeper, and with contributions like this Duff may prove to be a shrewd buy.

MANUEL ALMUNIA
Sells goalkeeper gloves
It's a random addition to boot spotting, but we noticed Manuel Almunia has changed from Nike Vapor Grip goalkeeper gloves into the Sells Contour Series, a wise move?
