Weekend Football Boots Spotting 26/04/10

Editor — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 09:55:00 GMT

Essential Boot Spotting from another big weekend of football around the World's major leagues, including the Premier League, Primera Division and MLS....


Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid) Nike Superfly II	Salomon Kalou (Chelsea) adidas F50i
There's been a lot of speculation over the Nike Sense stud featured on the Superfly II football boots, with many pro's opting for either a soft ground or Superfly I sole-plate. But this weekend Cristiano Ronaldo proved the doubters wrong by wearing the new sole-plate.	Chelsea needed a big performance to reaffirm their Premier League ambitions, and Kalou duly delivered with a great hat-trick wearing the popular Macaw Green adidas F50i football boots.


Tyrone Marshall (Seattle Sounders) Puma v1.08	Ronaldinho (AC Milan) Nike Tiempo Legend III
Despite being released some time ago, the White/Red Puma v1.08 football boots are still looking great, as shown by Tyrone Marshall, whose boots really stood out with his kit.	Ronaldinho has been wearing the White Tiempo Legend III football boots for quite a while, but this weekend he changed into the original Black Nike Legends.


Ryan Giggs (Man Utd) Reebok RG800	Steven Gerrard (Liverpool) adidas Predator X
A player of Giggs ability, status and achievements is worthy of his own boot range, as he proved again with two very well taken penalties to give United a crucial victory over Tottenham.	Gerrard scored a stunning strike against Burnley, the kind of goal and form that's been missing this season. A faithful Predator wearer, Gerrard could rely on his boots to provide the power and swerve needed.


Martin Paterson (Burnley) Umbro Stealth	Francesco Totti (Roma) adidas Predator PS
Paterson recently made the switch into the new Umbro Stealth football boots, which have a return of one goal from three games for the Burnley forward.	Italian legend Totti has had a great season so far, scoring 22 goals in blacked-out Predator PowerSwerve football boots. And it could yet get better, if Roma could clutch the Serie A title in the last few games.


Andy Williams (Real Salt Lake) adidas Predator X DB	Yakubu (Everton) Nike CTR360 Maestri
An interesting boot choice from Real Salt Lake's Andy Williams, who is playing in David Beckham's signature adidas Predator X range, quite a good match with the Salt Lake kit.	Both Yakubu and Anichebe were working together in the Everton front line wearing Nike CTR360 Maestri football boots, proving the versatility of the recent Nike release.


Frederic Kanoute (Sevilla) Joma Total Fit 91	Aaron Lennon (Tottenham) Nike Superfly II
A mixed weekend for Sevilla striker Kanoute who was on the scoresheet, but also managed to get sent off! Despite a host of Nike and adidas boots on the market offering a variety of technologies, Kanoute chooses to wear the all leather Total Fit 91 boot.	Aaron Lennon further endorsed the Nike Sense stud, by wearing the Superfly II football boots, and Lennon's return will be a welcome sight for both Tottenham and England fans.

Football Boots Boot Spotting

Boot Spy — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 14:09:00 GMT

This weekend we were spoilt with a host of new football boots taking to pitches around the globe! There seemed to be brand new football boots everywhere you turned - from Australia to Germany, and Italy to England, our SoccerBible boot spotters were on hand to catch the best of the action...

WAYNE ROONEY (Manchester United)

Wayne Rooney is the top Nike Laser player in the country with 26 Premier League goals to his name, and since wearing the Laser III football boots Rooney has been in awesome form! Rooney proved just the man to debut the new Neptune Blue colourway, as he duly delivered the boots first goal following up his penalty shot.

RODRIGO VARGAS (Melbourne Victory)

Playing for Melbourne Victory in the A-League grand final, Rodrigo Vargas was probably the first player in the world to competitively wear the Neptune Blue T90 Laser III football boots. Vargas was desperately unlucky, as he was in great form and had two goals disallowed.

PATRICK HELMES (Bayer Leverkusen)

German international striker Helmes combined his new Neptune Blue Lasers with Nike (RED) laces, for a great looking boot that really made an impression on the pitch. Unfortunately, Helmes was unable to find the back of the net against Dortmund, but then perhaps it would have helped if he'd tied his laces!

WESLEY SNEIJDER (Inter Milan)

Sneijder is one of the T90's star players as the midfielder has great technical ability, and as Chelsea found out recently he certainly has an eye for a pass. Sneijder was wearing the Neptune Blue's for the first time as Inter continued their pursuit of the Serie A title, although they were unable to get past Palermo drawing 1-1.

JEREMY CLEMENT (Paris St Germain)

Jeremy Clement is currently playing for PSG, however, the once great club side find themselves struggling in 12th position in Ligue 1. But that doesn't mean you can't look good when you walk into the pitch, and the red and white of PSG's away kit really made Clement's boots stand out.

NANI (Manchester United)

Tricky winger Nani had previously worn Vapor IV and Vapor V football boots, so we were relying on the Portuguese international to debut the new Vapor VI football boots. The Vapor VI is the next generation in the Mercurial speed range, and much to Nani's delight Nike have kept the lace-cover, whilst also increasing sole-plate traction.

GREGORY ARNOLIN (Sporting Gijon)

You would have expected Cristiano Ronaldo to be wearing the brand new Superfly II football boots in the match between Real Madrid and Sporting Gijon. Instead it was central defender Gregory Arnolin who wore Nike's top of the range speed boot, with a soft ground sole-plate.

PAULO FERREIRA (Chelsea)

It was a rare outing for Chelsea full-back Paulo Ferreira, who tried to make the most of the occasion by wearing his new Vapor VI football boots. With a re-designed sole-plate the Vapor VI football boots, are the ideal boot to get up and down the touchline.

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC (Barcelona)

Ibrahimovic struck from the penalty spot debuting his Superfly II football boots. The tall striker first debuted the Superfly football boots playing for Inter Milan against Manchester United last season, and the skillfil player has since gone on to be one of the biggest names in world football.

FABRIZIO MICCOLI (Palermo)

The Superfly II football boots are the perfect boot for Palermo captain Miccoli, who wore them for the first time as his side drew 1-1 with Inter Milan. As a short player with a low centre of gravity, Miccoli will benefit from the new stud system will be particularly responsive to his twists and turns.

RAFAEL VAN DER VAART (Real Madrid)

Rafael van der Vaart hit the back of the net wearing the new Team Red CTR360 colourway. Van der Vaart switched to the Nike CTR360 Maestri football boots when they were released earlier in the season, and as an attacking midfield player benefits from the ball control technology.

VALON BEHRAMI (West Ham)

Behrami chose to debut his Team Red Nike CTR360 football boot's against Arsenal, and even wore Nike (RED) laces. We can imagine the new red colourway will be a good match for the West Ham home kit.

NICK WARD (Melbourne Victory)

Nick Ward played in the A-League grand final wearing the new Nike CTR360 colourway, unfortunately Ward was on the losing side as Melbourne Victory were defeated by Sydney FC.

PATRICE EVRA (Manchester United)

It was an assured performance from Patrice Evra at left-back, as Liverpool were unable to create many real chances's as United powered to victory. Evra, along with team-mate Rio Ferdinand, was debuting the new black leather T90 Laser III football boots. And Evra, like Torres and Ferdinand prefers a leather upper unlike Rooney.

RYAN GIGGS (Manchester United)

A player such as Ryan Giggs deserves a prestigious pair of football boots, the Manchester United legend has many great achievements in football, which has been acknowledged by Reebok. These Reebok RG800 football boots are in a very classy gold and brown colourway, and commemorate the fact that Giggs has played over 800 games for United.

STILIAN PETROV (Aston Villa)

Petrov seems unsettled at the moment over which football boots to wear, the Aston Villa captain has been wearing adidas Predator boots and the new adiPures. So we were particularly surprised to see the midfielder wearing the new Umbro Stealth boot, but we'll be interested to see how he rates the boot and if he sticks with them.

ROQUE SANTA CRUZ (Manchester City)

Santa Cruz is wearing the new Mizuno Wave Ignitus football boots, a brand new range from Mizuno. These new boots are a stunning yellow colourway with bespoke technology, and Santa Cruz gave them a good outing as he scored City's first goal against Fulham.

Premier League News - Nike Boots Hit Five! - 17/08/09

Editor — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 08:48:00 GMT

Nike players have made a pledge to Make the Difference throughout the 2009/10 Premier League campaign. And for the opening weekend of the new season, it was the Nike players at Arsenal who were making the difference by scoring an incredible five goals in one game!

Nike football boots reigned supreme as Arsenal turned a tricky away game against Everton into a brutal victory. Thanks to their Nike wearers scoring five goals with Nike Mercurial Vapor, Tiempo Legend, Vapor Superfly and Total 90 Laser II football boots all getting on the score sheet...

DENILSON

Nike T90 Laser II football boots

Denilson fired Arsenal ahead in the 26th minute, wearing the Black Pack Nike Total 90 Laser football boots. Denilson struck the ball from 25 yards out from the ShotShield of his boots, with excellent power and accuracy the ball curled into the top left-hand corner of the goal.

WILLIAM GALLAS

Nike Vapor Superfly football boots

Gallas made the most of the additional speed, support and movement the Nike Superfly football boots provide, as he was the first to connect to an Arsenal free-kick and head home unmarked in front of the Everton goal.

CESC FABREGAS

Nike Tiempo Legend III football boots

The creative force at Arsenal's heart, Fabregas needs a boot that can deliver great touch and feel for the ball. And wearing the new Legend III football boots the Arsenal captain scored twice for the Gunners. His first came from a through ball with his shot finding its way under the onrushing keeper, his second goal demonstrated excellent ball touch as he dribbled from the halfway line before striking the ball into the bottom left corner!

EDUARDO

Nike Mercurial Vapor football boots

Eduardo was making his Premier League return after a lengthy absence through injury, and he got himself on the scoresheet as a late substitute. Playing in Nike Vapor IV football boots, Eduardo made sure he was in the right place at the right time to tap in a simple sixth for the Gunners, and complete a 6-1 rout at Goodison Park.

With the first weekend of Premier League action completed it looks like we're in for another exciting season, and the Nike players look ready to play their part! Plus don't forget for Arsenal, thanks to the Nike Make the Difference campaign, Cesc Fabregas has promised trophies this season and Andrei Arshavin has promised to score five goals in one game!

Editor — Mon, 18 May 2009 14:55:00 GMT

Here are the SoccerBible's star performers from the penultimate weekend of the 2008/09 Premier League season. Every goal, pass and tackle becomes crucial at this stage of the season, and here are the players and football boots rising to the occasion...

CRAIG FAGAN

Nike Mercurial Vapor IV football boots

How much could Fagan's goal be worth, as it lifted Hull out of the relegation zone above Newcastle United?! Wearing Vapor IV football boots, Fagan had the pace to beat the Bolton defence to the ball before finishing nicely.

DIRK KUYT

adidas Predator Rome football boots

Power, swerve and accuracy were perfectly demonstrated by Dirk Kuyt as he struck a goal from his adidas Predator football boots, sealing a spirited West Brom to Championship football next season.

VALERI BOJINOV

Nike Legend II football boots

After a torrid time with injuries, Bojinov has done well to recover and fully deserved his first goal for Manchester City. It was a reassured performance from the bulky forward who has opted for the Nike Legend football boots to look after his fitness.

NICOLAS ANELKA

Puma v1.08 football boots

Anelka will be sad to see coach Guus Hiddink leave after enjoying a great run of form in the team. Anelka has rediscovered his passion, and finished the afternoon with a goal and an assist from Puma v1.08 football boots.

LOIS SAHA

Nike T90 Laser II football boots

A timely return to form for Saha with the FA Cup final on the horizon, getting back to his sharpest Saha was unfortunate not to score a hat-trick, but two goals is still respectable!

SANLI TUNCAY

adidas F50.9 Rome football boots

If the other Boro players had the same passion as Tuncay, they undoubtedly wouldn't be in the position they find themselves. Tuncay provided the highlight of the game with an excellent overhead kick finding the back of the net.

There were some exceptional performances over the Premier League weekend, and here are the players and the football boots that produced such inspiring displays...

XABI ALONSO

adidas adiPure II football boots

Midfielder Alonso is probably Liverpool's player of the season. At the heart of every move, the playmaker opts for the comfort and touch provided by the adidas adiPure football boots.

NICOLAS ANELKA

Anelka has had that boost a new pair of football boots brings to your game, by rediscovering his goal scoring form since switching to the camouflage Puma v1.08 football boots.

The newly crowned PFA player of the year is flying the flag for Reebok football boots, and Giggs keeps turning in the perfromances wearing Reebok's lightweight Sprintfit speed boots.

STEVEN PIENAAR

adidas F50.9 football boots

South African star Pienaar was discovered and given a chance by David Moyes after going undetected by the big clubs. At his creative and inspirational best, the Everton player is wearing the same football boots as Messi, Robben, Adebayor and Villa!

NICKLAS BENDTNER

Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly football boots

The sign of a good player is someone who can take the fans abuse, yet still go onto the pitch and perform. Bendtner has had his critics, but turned in a great performance with two goals from Nike Vapor Superfly football boots.

Football News - Premier League football boots - Double Strikes! - 27/04/09

Editor — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 13:57:00 GMT

This week we thought we'd acknowledge the Premier League players and football boots hitting double strikes over the weekend! Not scoring just once, these players blasted the back of the net on two occasions...

CESC FABREGAS

Nike Legend II football boots

Arsenal's captain was playing in a more advanced role, similar to Gerrard, which proved to be a devastating position for Middlesbrough. Wearing natural leather football boots, Fabregas benefitted from a comfortable boot, having recently changed into the white/white Nike Legend football boots incorporating excellent touch and feel for the ball.

CRISTIANO RONALDO

Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly football boots

Cristiano Ronaldo continued the great form Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly football boots have enjoyed since their introduction to the Premier League. Ronaldo made the most of his lightweight supportive football boots to get into an excellent position to connect with a cross for a second goal, after initially scoring from the penalty spot.

DIRK KUYT

adidas Predator Rome football boots

Wearing Rome adidas Predator football boots Kuyt was rewarded for his workrate with two goals. Kuyt's second coming from the Predator vamps of his boots, which made a clean contact poking the ball in after a rebounded shot.

WAYNE ROONEY

Nike T90 Laser II football boots

Rooney prefers a synthetic upper, which combined with the extended precision rings of the Nike Laser football boots form a deadly surface to strike the ball from. Rooney took full advantage to not only score but also assist, as United recorded a crucial Premier League victory after being 2-0 down to Tottenham at half-time!
