Daniel Sturridge (Chelsea) Nike T90 Laser IV
|
|
Daniel Sturridge has quickly settled into his new Nike T90 Laser IV football boots. The former adidas Predator man was in fine form helping Chelsea to a convincing 5-1 victory over Bolton. With Fernando Torres currently suspended, it was up to the young Englishman to fly the T90 flag. With performances like this, he will give Villas Boas a serious selection head ache!

For boot-spotters, the MLS was the place to be this weekend! In aid of breast cancer awareness, a number of players across the USA gave their boots some charitable customisation! LA Galaxy's Landon Donovan was one these after being spotted wearing his CTR Maestri II Elite boots with pink laces. We've seen better looking colour combos but at least it was for a good cause!

Bobby Zamora gave us another glimpse of his unidentified boots this weekend as his Fulham side took on QPR. The England striker looks to be sporting the next generation Hydrastrike Pro, but with Under Armour remaining tight-lipped on any release dates, there is little information surrounding the boot.
