Football News - Boot Spotting! - 07/09/09

Editor — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 10:32:00 GMT

There were some interesting football boots on show from the weekends international matches. Our keen boot spotters found some unique customised football boots being worn. Check out some of the players and football boots catching our eye from the latest round of 'boot spotting'...

CLINT DEMPSEY

Nike Vapor Superfly football boots

Dempsey is known for wearing customised football boots, who can forget his 'Don't tread on me' Nike Superfly football boots, probably because Dempsey is Nike's leading player in America. But we really liked this slick black and red colourway, as it made us think he had an 'A Team' van on each foot!

DAVID VILLA

adidas F50i TUNiT football boots

Since being released the adidas F50i football boots have been making a real impact on pitches around the world, with players like Arjen Robben and Jermain Defoe turning in some excellent performances. And David Villa is the latest player to impress wearing the innovative adidas F50i, after scoring twice as Spain thrashed Belgium 5-0.

DECO

Umbro Speciali football boots

Umbro are proud to be putting all their sponsored players in the new Umbro Speciali football boots, and Portugal's Deco should be particularly pleased. Deco was one of the inspirations behind the design of the new boot, and the latest white/red colourway was a good choice to match his Portugal strip.

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC

Nike Vapor Superfly football boots

Pre-season we saw Ibrahimovic wearing Nike Superfly, Nike Vapor V and Nike Legend football boots as he was undecided on what football boots to wear. But now he has settled for the Vapor Superfly football boots to compliment his game we are seeing Zlatan perform at his best, scoring two goals in two games including a 93rd minute winner for Sweden.

JAMES MCFADDEN

adidas Predator PS football boots

McFadden scored an excellent individual goal to keep alive Scotland's hopes of qualifying for the World Cup. Wearing true blue adidas Predator football boots, McFadden collected the ball on the halfway line and dribbled it all the way before rounding the keeper and slotting the ball home.

JAVIER MASCHERANO

Nike T90 Laser II football boots

Argentinian captain Mascherano had a special mixed-stud sole-plate made up for his Nike Laser football boots. To benefit from the traction provided by the unique design of the firm ground studs, along with the soft ground studs. Unfortunately, his Argentina side were defeated 3-1 by Brazil, so find themselves in 4th spot in the qualifying table but can still qualify unless they finish outside the top five.

With the new football season less than a month away, the top teams pre-season preparations are fully underway. And our SoccerBible boot spotters have noticed a host of stars breaking in their new football boots, ready for the new season...

STEPHEN IRELAND

Nike Mercurial Vapor football boots

Stephen Ireland is renowned for changing his boots, so we wonder whether he's settled on the Vapor V football boots? They certainly helped his performance, as he scored the winning goal for City against Kaizer Chiefs.

JERMAIN DEFOE

adidas F50i football boots

SoccerBible was present when Defoe first tried out his new adidas F50i football boots, and at the time he was impressed. The F50i is a boot that clearly suits Defoe's game, as he was on the score sheet as Tottenham defeated Peterborough 4-0.

ASHLEY COLE

Puma v1.08 football boots

Ashley Cole has set a lot of tongues wagging, because the adidas F50 player was wearing the new Puma v1.08 football boots for Chelsea's friendly in the US against Inter Milan!

JONNY EVANS

Nike Tiempo Legend III football boots

The former adidas Predator wearer trialled the Nike Legend football boots at the end of last season. Obviously liking the feel of the boots, Evans has been playing pre-season wearing the Nike Legend III football boots.

DEAN MARNEY

Under Armour Dominate football boots

Marney has joined the growing army of Premier League players switching to the Under Armour Dominate football boots. It will be interesting to see how these new football boots perform, as they will be in direct competition with the Predator and the Laser.

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC

Nike Vapor Superfly football boots

Has Ibrahimovic settled on a pair of boots yet? As he was once again spotted wearing a different pair of football boots. This time is was the Vapor Superfly football boots, but Zlatan has also worn the Vapor IV and Legend III football boots.

The big boys came out to play for pre-season this weekend, with Manchester United, Inter Milan, Arsenal, AC Milan and Manchester City amongst the clubs showing off their new signings, new football shirts and new football boots...

NIGEL DE JONG

adidas adiPure II football boots

Manchester City kicked-off their tour of South Africa with a 2-0 defeat to Orlando Pirates. Playing in adidas adiPure football boots and wearing the new home strip, De Jong will be looking forward to his first full Premier League season.

ANDREI ARSHAVIN

Nike Vapor Superfly football boots

After flirting with various Vapor IV football boots, it looks as though Arshavin will be wearing the Nike Vapor Superfly football boots as he continues to play an integral part in the Arsenal side.

MICHAEL OWEN

Umbro Speciali football boots

Once a goalscorer, always a goalscorer! Owen has a habit of being in the right place at the right time, which is exactly what happened as he scored his first United goal. A player of Owen's pedigree opts to play in the redesigned Umbro Speciali football boots.

RONALDINHO

Nike Ronaldinho Dois football boots

Ronaldinho was wearing a stunning pair of gold Dois football boots as AC Milan drew 2-2 with LA Galaxy, on a less than enjoyable evening for Beckham as he was booed by the home fans!

ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC

Nike Mercurial Vapor football boots

Could Ibrahimovic have played his last game for Inter Milan as his transfer to Barcelona seems imminent. Bizarrely though Zlatan was playing in his old pair of marina Vapor IV football boots.

JO

Nike Vapor Superfly football boots

Everton turned out in their retro-looking new home kit as they defeated Rochdale 4-1, with Jo up front switching into Vapor Superfly football boots. Jo has secured his loan move, and impressed with two goals.
