Designed by RVP. Made by adidas
RVP's new miadidas f50 and his first ever adidas boots.
It's become a trend that the best players in world are
acknowledged with their own unique boot and adidas have given Robin Van
Persie the recognition he deserves by hooking him up with a bespoke pair
of boots designed exactly to his specifications to be worn by RVP and
RVP only...
Van Persie was laced up in his new custom f50 in last night's
snorefest against Chelsea and will continue to wear the boot throughout
the 2013/14 season. The red/blue/white leather upper sits on top of Van
Persie's favoured Predator adiPower soleplate to create a custom built
piece of kit fit for a goal scoring machine. They scrub up well in
contrast to his first ever adidas boots don't they?
Van Persie's first ever adidas boots from when he was just a six year
old whippersnapper terrorising school playgrounds in Rotterdam are
stacked up side by side with his new f50's to show how far RVP and the
brand themselves have come. His old boots may show his age and to be
honest they look more like his granddad’s than his but his new f50s are
fully equipped to help deliver the goods. Everything from the colourway
to the personalisation to the materials have been requested personally
by RVP himself.
If David Moyes is to land the Premier League title in his first season
at Old Trafford then he'll need RVP firing on all cylinders. Van Perise
smashed in 30 goals for United last season and with four to his name
already in this campaign you wouldn't bet against another golden boot
sat in his trophy cabinet come May, along with a retired pair of title
winning boots to sit next to last season's adiPowers.

Global Boot Spotting - 27/08/13
The pick of the week's best football boots from across the globe.
Monday's box office show-down might have disappointed but it did give us a fresh pair of boots to cast our eyes over. RVP stole the bootspotting headlines as the second week of EPL action kicked-off. Elsewhere there were high profile boot switches and custom colourways for good measure.

Joe Hart remains one of a dying breed of Umbro players but the Manchester City 'keeper was wearing the new black/lava pink Speciali IV boots during his side's tour of South Africa. The Speciali is top quality boot that's been around for season's and Hart will continue to wear the new colourway when the Premier League season kicks off next month.

Robin Van Persie (Manchester United) miadidas F50 adizero
It
looks like Robin Van Persie can't quite get over his love for the
adiPower Predator. Despite having started the season in the standard
edition F50 adizero, the Man Untied striker was seemingly waiting on his
Predator/F50 hybrid boots to arrive. These aren't just a neat miadidas
colourway created for the Dutchman. They've been custom built to meet
RVP's very particular requirements. An adiPower sole-plate along with
custom stitching make these a one-off RVP F50 that should keep him happy
for a while.
Wayne Rooney (Manchester United) Nike HyperVenom Phantom
Like
all of Nike's top athletes, Wayne Rooney's boots aren't like yours or
mine. They're custom built to his exact specifications. Often this means
some exclusive customisation with the sole-plate. As we're sure you've
noticed, Wayne's HyperVenom outsole isn't orange. The black sole-plate
looks to have the same SG-Pro stud configuration but it's hard to detail
exactly what's going on.
Roberto Soldado (Tottenham Hotspur) adidas f50 adizero
Club
record signing Roberto Soldado scored on his Spurs debut at White Hart
Lane on Saturday. The £26m striker netted a penalty in a 1-1 draw with
Espanyol wearing a pair of blackout adidas f50 boots. If Bale is heading
to Madrid then Soldado will have to be in fine form next season if
Spurs want to land a Champions League spot. Start as you mean to go on
Roberto...
Wesley
Sneijder is another one of Nike's athletes that have switched into the
new HyperVenom silo. The HyperVenom has taken over from the T90 series
and it makes sense that Sneijder would slip into the new boot after
wearing the T90 his entire career. Sneijder scored a rocket of a goal as
Galatasaray flew to England to take on Notts County.
Joe Hart remains one of a dying breed of Umbro players but the Manchester City 'keeper was wearing the new black/lava pink Speciali IV boots during his side's tour of South Africa. The Speciali is top quality boot that's been around for season's and Hart will continue to wear the new colourway when the Premier League season kicks off next month.

Wayne Rooney will not be handing in a transfer request at Manchester United
Wayne Rooney's decision not to hand in an official transfer request with Manchester United
finally ends a summer-long power struggle as he concedes defeat to the
club. Yet the striker still has "unresolved issues" regarding the claim
of his former manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, that he put in writing a demand to leave last season, while he also wants assurances from David Moyes over being played in his favoured position.
Ed Woodward, the executive vice-president, stated this summer that "no contract renewals are being discussed", so Rooney is conscious that having entered the last two years of his deal he is, essentially, on trial regarding whether fresh terms may be offered. With the club waiting to see if Rooney responds positively to remaining at United after the transfer window closes on 2 September, discussions over extending his stay could yet potentially open over the coming season.
What is clear is that Rooney's move should signal the end of Chelsea's interest. On Monday evening at Old Trafford José Mourinho stated the striker should make formal his wish to leave within 48 hours or the prospective deal would be over, after previous bids of £20m and £25m were rejected by United.
Although Rooney has never said why he wanted to leave the champions, his relationship with the club ruptured after Ferguson played him in midfield, dropped him for key games, and made the claim in May that Rooney demanded a transfer.
Ferguson also constantly referred to what he perceived as Rooney's lack of fitness and the need for him to have regular game-time to be an effective force, despite the forward being 27 and maintaining he was in prime condition.
Yet a pattern of the Scot dropping Rooney for some games became established, as did that of him being deployed in a wide role, or in central midfield. For United's two most important matches, against Real Madrid in the last-16 of the Champions League, Rooney was selected on the right for the away leg in Spain and was left out completely for the return.
Privately, the club concede that Rooney never asked for a move. But with the forward believing the former manager, who is now a director and United ambassador, was still a powerful voice he remained intent on joining Chelsea. Whether United will decide to issue a statement vindicating Rooney over the alleged transfer demand could be the next instalment in a tortuous narrative.
When David Moyes appeared to state that Rooney was a second choice to Robin van Persie during United's pre-season tour this was seized upon by the forward's camp, who let it be known he was "angry and confused". Moyes moved to clarify those comments, explaining that he meant Rooney was a back-up only for the lone striker role should Van Persie be injured, with the Liverpudlian still viewed as a vital asset regarding the No10 position.
Yet the comments of Woodward regarding Rooney's contract – including "Would we be afraid to run a contract down? Of course not" – told Rooney he should not attempt to use this as leverage as United sought to make clear they had firm control of his future.
This was reiterated when Chelsea followed Mourinho's declaration of interest in Rooney during the club's own tour by making two offers that were turned down. United were insistent that Rooney was not for sale and, furthermore, would not countenance allowing a direct rival to buy an asset who could help wrest the title from them.
Mourinho appeared to admit defeat in the pursuit of Rooney after Chelsea's 0-0 draw with United at Old Trafford on Monday. "We are not silly to try something if somebody didn't start it. So I think it is time for the good of everyone to finish the story. For one side, for the other side," he said. "We need to know what is happening."
Rooney's decision not to make a formal request is an acceptance that United have won the battle and comes in stark contrast to the events of three years ago. Then, Rooney called the shots, backing Ferguson and United into a corner with a transfer demand that ended with him being awarded a lucrative £300,000-a-week contract and confirmation of his standing at the club.
With Rooney now appearing set to stay, but this time on United's terms, he will at least benefit from the prudent decision to say nothing publicly. During United's 4-1 win at Swansea City 10 days ago and in the stalemate with Chelsea, he received a surprisingly
warm reception from fans. And, with United next at fierce rivals Liverpool for Sunday's lunchtime kick-off, Rooney can expect to draw their support again.
