Arturo Vidal (Chile) Nike Mercurial Superfly III
|

Chile and Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Arturo Vidal remains one of the only players to be wearing the unreleased orange Mercurial Superfly III football boots! It was Vidal's second competitive performance wearing the new Nike colourway – a sign that a full release is not far away!

Fatmire Bajramaj (Germany) Nike Mercurial Superfly III iD
|
|
German midfielder Fatmire Bajramaj is clearly a fan of football boots! Her latest pair of unique soccer shoes are these great looking black/volt/red Superfly's. They're the third pair of Nike iD boots we've seen Bajramaj wear throughout the WWC tournament. For boot-spotting reasons, it's disappointing Germany’s tournament has come to an end!

|
Zoumana Camara (Paris Saint Germain) Nike Tiempo Legend IV Elite
|
|
Paris Saint Germain veteran defender Zoumana Camara was spotted wearng the stand-out Nike Tiempo Legend IV Elite football boots during his sides friendly match against FC Sion. It's been said a million times before, but Nike's new Tiempo's really are impossible to miss!

Ursula Holl (Germany) adidas Predator adiPower Women's
|
|
German goalkeeper Ursula Holl gave us a rare glimpse of the black/blue women’s adiPower football boots as her national side crashed out of the WWC to Japan. Holl's adiPower's are a more reserved female-specific choice compared to the bright white/pink alternative.
