Global Boot Spotting

It's that time again. Another week of football means another Monday Boot Spotting and this week saw some beautiful boots step out onto the pitch. Featuring plenty of new releases and unreleased colourways, this week's spotting is busy with boots we all want to see. So let's get into it.

Jurriën Timber (Arsenal ) adidas Predator 25 Unreleased

The Arsenal fullback was spotted debuting an unreleased Predator this weekend vs Aston Villa. With a red and black snake-like pattern and gold accents, are we set to see a possible Chinese New year themed Pred released soon?

Fermín López (Barcelona) Under Armour Shadow Elite 3.0

Brand new for 2025, the Shadow Elite 3.0 made its debut on the young midfielder this weekend with a clean and slick look on foot. We look forward to seeing what levels this kid can reach whilst repping Under Armour.

Phil Foden (Manchester City) Nike Phantom GXII

After a rocky start to the season, Foden has began the year hot with 7 G/A in just 4 games in 2025. Always a consistent Phantom wearer, he now wears the most recent colourway from the 'Mad Energy' pack.

Justin Kluivert (Bournemouth) adidas F50 Elite

A man in serious form and showing it on the big stage. Justin Kluivert was wearing the newest colourway of the F50's as he bagged a hattrick and an assist against Newcastle this weekend. Definitely a player to watch out for.

Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton and Hove Albion) PUMA Ultra 5

Since joining Brighton in 2021, Mitoma has been a star performer for the club, helping them compete for European football the last couple years. This weekend he rocked the Ultra 5's as he led Brighton to a win against Manchester United with a goal and assist.

Kyra Cooney-Cross (Arsenal WFC) adidas Predator 25 Unreleased

After seeing Jurriën Timber wear these on Saturday, the young Australian midfielder was the woman chosen to debut the unreleased Predator 25 in the women's game, showing us the snake-like graphic on this unseen colourway. When can we expect to see these dropped?

Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace FC) New Balance Furon v8

As one of the star boys for New Balance, it is no surprise to see Eze in the Furon v8 - a brand new generation of the Furon. A vibrant boot to match with the yellow Palace away kit.

Lamine Yamal (Barcelona) Custom adidas F50 LL

After being spotted wearing these custom F50's earlier in the week, fans were questioning whether another signature boot was getting ready to be unveiled. However, a video confirmed that these dark pink F50's were custom-made and gifted to Yamal by a fan. A pink and white colourway featuring Yamal's signature celebration painted on the sides, a lovely touch from the fan.

Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) Nike Phantom GX

A player often seen wearing Phantom GXII's, Ollie Watkins has chosen to take it back a generation for the last couple games, opting for the first generation of Phantom in the "Hyper Turq/Black/Fuschia Dream/White" colourway. Still doesn't stop him scoring...

Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest ) Nike Mercurial Vapor XVI

Nottingham Forest have been a dormant giant for years, however this season they are definitely active. Taking the season by storm, they are now sitting third in the Premier League and Morgan Gibbs-White plays a big part in them being there. His assist this weekend came wearing the Nike Mercurial from the latest 'Mad Energy' pack, coordinating perfectly with the Forest Home kit.

Leah Williamson (Arsenal WFC) Nike Tiempo Legend x Elite

After going through a ruthless rehab after rupturing her ACL back in 2023, it's great to see Leah Williamson score her first goal back since injury in the match vs Crystal Palace on Sunday. The goal was scored with the "Hot Lava/White" colourway of the Tiempo Legend's.

Endrick (Real Madrid) New Balance Tekela v4 Unreleased

The Brazilian superstar was spotted wearing an unreleased colourway of the New Balance Tekela this weekend during Real Madrid's win vs Las Palmas. This exciting colour combination features three shades of black, yellow, and red in a horizontal gradient. We look forward to seeing when New Balance drop this colourway.

Joao Félix (Chelsea ) Mizuno Alpha II Made In Japan

A gorgeous drop from Mizuno was seen on Félix's feet during the week. The Chelsea player was wearing the brand new Mizuno speed boot which has a beautiful chrome finish – a real stand out look on the pitch.

Declan Rice (Arsenal) adidas Copa Pure III Elite Leather

Always a Copa fan, Declan Rice is adidas' main man when it comes to wearing this silo. Now he is helping Arsenal rival Liverpool for the Premier League title in the newest colourway of Copa, dropped within the 'Pure Victory' pack earlier in the month.
