Football News > Weekend Football Boots Spotting - 09/05/11


The European season may be coming to a close but our SoccerBible boot spotters have been in fine form once more reporting sightings from all four corners of the globe! Check out what boots and players have made it in this week as our 2010/11 boot spotting counts down...


Daniele Corvia (Lecce) adidas adiPURE SL

The first official adiPURE SL boot spot comes from Lecce's Daniele Corvia! The superlight heritage boots have been hard to come by since their release, but after tireless efforts to track them down, we've found a pair! Corvia helped Lecce to a 2-1 win over Napoli after converting a penalty before getting himself sent off.

 

Jerome Thomas (West Brom) Nike Mercurial Superfly III

West Bromwich Albion's Jerome Thomas joins the growing list of players to wear the stand-out Photo Blue/Platinum/Orange Nike Superfly III football boots. The former adidas adiZero wearer couldn't help his side to victory at the weekend as they crashed to a 3-1 away defeat to local rivals Wolves.

 

Mauricio Pinilla (Palermo) Umbro GT Pro

Palermo's Mauricio Pinilla was spotted wearing a mix sole-plated pair of Black/White/Orange Umbro GT Pro football boots this weekend as his side took on Bari. The Chilean continues to switch colourways of the Umbro speed boot, having also been spotted in the new White/Black/Blue editions.

 

Jonathan Walters (Stoke City) Pantofola d'Oro Lazzarini

Our inbox was flooded with your sightings of Stoke City's Jonathan Walters. The former Puma v-Konstrukt wearer was spotted in a pair of Pantofola d'Oro Lazzarini Combi football boots during Stoke's home match against Arsenal. Made from the softest calf leather available, the Pantofola d'Oro Lazzarini Rosso football boots are a timeless classic.

 

Andrey Arshavin (Arsenal) Nike Mercurial Superfly III

Arsenal's Russian winger Andrey Arshavin made his first competitive appearance in the new Nike Mercurial Superfly III football boots, featuring a Vapor VII studded sole-plate in place of the Superfly Nike Sense technology. The Russian put in a relatively poor display in his new boots as Arsenal crashed to a 3-1 away defeat to Stoke City to end all minimal title hopes.

 

Souza 'Hulk' (Porto) Mizuno Morellia Ultralight

Hulk was on target once more for Porto as he helped his side claim the Portuguese Liga trophy with a 3-3 home draw against Pacos de Ferreira. The Brazilian was wearing his new Mizuno Morellia Ultralight football boots as he celebrated another great season in Portuguese football. After claiming the Portuguese Liga title, Porto are now Dublin bound for the Europa League final!

 

Juan Rodriquez (All Boys) adidas F50 adizero

All Boy's midfielder Juan Rodriguez was spotted in a miadidas pair of adidas F50 adiZero football boots during his sides match against River Plate in an Argentinian First Division football match. The silver/blue/yellow boots are a rare sighting for the adiZero range as they were never released as an official colourway.

 

Alexandr Kokorin (FC Dinamo Moscow) Nike Mercurial Superfly

After some close inspection, Alexandr Kokorin can be seen wearing a partially blacked out pair of Orange/Silver/Abyss Nike Superfly I football boots. The Russian took his one-of-a-kind boots another step further, adding a pair of Nike (RED) laces.

 

Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid) Nike CR Mercurial Superfly III

Cristiano Ronaldo played an integral part of Real Madrid's extraordinary 6-2 win at Sevilla on Saturday. Ronaldo was the hero for Los Blancos wearing his Nike CR Mercurial Superfly III football boots. The Portuguese international hit a four-goal haul, taking his season's league tally to an incredible 34 goals!


David Beckham (LA Galaxy) adidas Predator X

Old friends re-united as Thierry Henry and David Beckham caught up during the New York Red Bulls trip to the Home Depot Centre. The two Premier League legends went head to head as they battled it out for a 1-1 draw. Beckham was wearing his usual signature adidas Predator X football boots bespoke with his children’s names stitched on.

 

James Riley (Seattle Sounders) Nike CTR360 Maestri Elite

Seattle Sounders and Columbus Crew battled through the down-pour to take equal points on Saturday. Sounders defender James Riley was spotted in a great looking pair of blue/white/black Nike CTR360 Maestri Elite football boots featuring a SG sole-plate to suit the conditions.

 

Mike Hanke (Gladbach) adidas Predator X

Borussia M'gladbach's Mike Hanke was on target during his sides Bundesliga match against SC Freiburg wearing a unique miadidas pair of adidas Predator X football boots. The German scored the first goal wearing his green Predators as Borussia M'gladbach claimed a 2-0 win.

@madridmanfan you beat me to the punch haha, I was going to say the same thing so much for his story of owning 40 somethings pairs.

@d keeper you should really stop saying boots are fake when clearly they are real. I remember you said you were 13 but you should really stop saying boots are fake unless you have proof because someone might snap at you lol. Btw pro's don't wear fake boots.

No mention of guedioura's vapor Vs. A much better spot than Jerome Thomas' very popular superfly's. WTF soccerbible!

CarrigalinFc said:

@D keeper  dood just shut the hell up and mind ur own 13 year old business u clearly have no idea about soccer boots if u cant even tell if they are real o not and even if pros don't care what boots they wear or earn 100k a week they still have enough money to buy the most expensive boots

May 10, 2011 8:23 PM
 

Madridmanfan792 said:

@ d keeper haha you seriously make me laugh with the little knowledge that you have. I'm thinking of the ways to prove to you. Ok so practically every pro at a well known club has a boot contract and they can go to that company and say hey I want some green custom made predators like these and they'll say ok! Cause they want to keep them under contract ok? Also a lot of pro's that don't have contracts try and do it themselves or have a small shop do it. And lastly I've only seen one pro wear fake boots and he wore them cause he liked the color of them but oh wait a week later Nike made hima special pair just for him. So please think or know what your talking about before you type cause your so young and have a lot to learn from everyone on here ok?

May 10, 2011 9:12 PM
 

gallas13 said:

i will agree and say that Dkeeper knows very little about football but would also add that messi wore f30's for a short time

May 10, 2011 10:58 PM
 

pcm19 said:

like the green preds and ronaldo's boot-kit combo...also like the grey mercs w/ red laces, and thats 2 now ive seen with the default miadidas colorway...does the customization work yet?

May 11, 2011 12:03 AM
 

Getsuga04 said:

SLs for adipures... nice spot!

May 11, 2011 1:48 AM
 

Johnny23 said:

@madridmanfan beat me to it again lol.

@d keeper you seriously know nothing about boots. Now I'm really sure you don't own all those boots you keep saying you own. You can't tell real from fakes, you say pro's wear fake boots? Not a chance, why would they need 100k a week to buy a pair of $400 boots? They don't like madridmanfan mentioned they sign contracts, I also think that their kit sponsor will provide them with shoes if it is needed I believe.

May 11, 2011 4:27 AM
 

Madridmanfan792 said:

@gallas13 I forgot about messi wearing f30's so your right and I think he wear the same now but I'm not sure.

@Johnny23 haha I know right this kid thinks he's a young "genius" and I'm not even gonna get into that. But on a separate note I wish I could have the gold preds that zidane wore in the 06 cup final. Those green preds reminded me of those and they were seriously some of the cleanest looking cleats I've ever seen.

adidas sl are sick

May 11, 2011 8:28 AM
 

BigBalls said:

D keeper .. probably is wrong in saying pro's wear fake boots but everyone tearing into him is completely wrong in most of what they're saying.

MESSI DID NOT WEAR F30. He wore an F30 sole plate on the F50 back when they were Tunits because he didn't like the Tunit stud configuration / the fact they weren't water tight etc.

Also, you're wrong in saying that nearly all pro's have contracts with brands. I would go as far as saying that the vast majority of premier league players do not have boot contracts. So instead of relentlessly  telling D keeper that he doesn't know anything about the boots/football in general, you all need to take a look in the mirror and get off your high horses, especially Madridmanfan792 - you know about as little as D keeper - maybe that's why you're grilling him, because you know it and you do it to make yourself feel bigger, well done.

Oh, and who cares if he's 13!?! I'm 17 and think that it'd be sad if there was anyone over the age of 19/20 to be still so excited about football boots that they're commenting on this forum!!

May 11, 2011 11:02 AM
 

Madridmanfan792 said:

@ big balls haha really? Ok well tell me what player for the top 6 teams don't have boot contracts? Yeah they all do. Even the lower bottom half teams have them just like in Spain,Germany, Italy and etc. I believe just in my age hearing more and experiencing more I will know more then him and now you just proved that I and many others know more than you. And just to spoil your fun messi wore f30's not just an f30 plate if you actually look at his boots they have the clear part in the middle of them just like f30's. And if you don't believe google search it and you'll see.

May 11, 2011 6:24 PM
 

Johnny23 said:

@big balls haha wow seriously? My university was sponsored by adidas and they would offer us free boots without a contract so what makes you think other pro players wouldn't get a contract?

May 12, 2011 3:36 AM
 

Madridmanfan792 said:

Haha yeah I forgot to mention that I get 75% off of Nike boots cause my college has a contract with Nike so I'm thinking pro's would get free boots.

May 12, 2011 4:59 AM
 

Johnny23 said:

Yeah I had bad experiences with the adizeros so our coach was able to land a sponsorship from nike for the next seasons and I got to test the maestris II's and vapor VII's so far.

May 12, 2011 5:53 AM
 

BigBalls said:

-.- utter bull

May 12, 2011 10:07 AM
 

Madridmanfan792 said:

It's actually not were a pretty seriously recognized college soccer team so we get a contract. You can believe it if you want but I know it's true and that's all that matters. Don't be jealous cause we practically get free boots man.

May 12, 2011 3:22 PM
 

BigBalls said:

jealous? first it's 75%, now they're free... i don't believe you

May 12, 2011 3:51 PM

BigBalls said:

oh practically, sorry my bad. I still dont believe you though

May 13, 2011 9:36 AM
 

Madridmanfan792 said:

You don't have to believe me my abundance of Nike boots, trainers, and gear would speak for itself. And soon we will be under adidas so expect to see me with more adidas boots more then likely preds cause their the only adidas boot worth getting.

Not bad I'd sayy....

May 18, 2011 5:13 AM
 

Izuka said:

wow lots of arguing on here haha, anyway the original argument was about the miadidas adizeros which we can quite clearly agree are not fake :) and i'm pretty sure messi used f50s with an f30 soleplate before, and he's using f50s now.

what are these contracts like, though? because you see pros changing brands a lot, like when the adizero was released

May 26, 2011 1:48 PM
 

guito said:

how do you get superflys like arshavin´s (with the vapor sole) ??
