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.
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.
