Football Boots




The folks at PUMA have made another big splash releasing the new Azalea Pink/Black evoSPEED 1.2. It can be difficult to distinguish women's specific colourways these days and you'd be forgiven for thinking this evoSPEED was in fact a women's boot. But rest assured, these will be available in men's sizes.

You'd need to bags of bravery to pull them off, but hey, it is 2013. If Nicklas Bendtner can get away with it then why not give it go. We won't judge you, but would strongly recommend investing in a decent pair of shin pads and possibly a crash helmet. So, there you have it, please make an orderly queue.





We don't expect to see any of PUMA's contracted players parading in the pink colourway, but they'll make a big statement if you did opt to slip into a pair. The Azalea Pink is the same colour found on the new "Dia del Futebol" 'Graphic' boots and we must admit the black details do look sharp on the pink backdrop. OK we like them. Sue us.





Plenty of column inches and airspace time have been dedicated to pink football boots in the past. What began as a radical and outrageous boot colour, more famous for writing headlines on looks than for performances, has now become a colour universally accepted on the football boot palette.





We're used to seeing PUMA release their bubble-gum flavoured boots in October in line with breast cancer awareness month. This year though they've come early just in time for the new season. Built for speed, this particular evoSPEED colourway might even give you that extra yard of pace. You'll need it.

Adidas New Season Collection


Capping off a week that has seen new colourways dropped on all three of adidas' silos, we've taken the boots for a closer on-pitch look. It's been a busy week for adidas; Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday saw bright new paint jobs given to the Predator LZ, F50 adizero and Nitrocharge 1.0 that have so far proved to be a hit.

Kicking things off on Monday was the stylish Blue/White/Orange Predator LZ that many are saying is the best paint job to hit the model yet. The new colourway features a winning combo of colours that grabbed our attention mainly because of how good it will look with our favourite kit of the summer, the Real Madrid away.






Tuesday saw the adizero F50 receive a super bright Electricity/Hero Ink/Silver colourway that was debuted at Bale's long-awaited unveiling at the Bernabau stadium. A nice balance of bright and dark was the antidote needed for a summer of blackouts and the boot will ease fans of adidas' popular speed boot into the darker winter months.







Last but not least was the UCL Red/White/Electricity edition of the adidas Nitrocharge. The consistently coloured 'EnergySling' sits nicely with the bright red to produce what we believe is the best Nitrocharge colourway we've seen, if not yet, at least since its launch back in May.





Second Colour Drop for Predator LZ SL



Carrying on from last weeks trio of new releases, adidas are back with a final encore, giving us a colour update to the Predator LZ SL. The newInfrared/Black/White design is the SL's second lick of paint and if you like your boots light and bright then these might tickle your fancy. 

The new Infrared/Black/White continues on from adidas' week of new bright boots with lively updates being dropped on the F50 adizero, the Nitrocharge 1.0 and the Predator LZ last week. The Infrared upper combines well with the white lethal zones and sprint frame with the black form stripes finishing off the overall look nicely.





The adidas Predator LZ SL, the Predator LZ's skinny sister with minor upgrades, is a great choice for players who are looking for a lightweight version of adidas' popular control boot. Weighing in at just 199g, the German giants have trimmed any excess fat without sacrificing comfort and performance.





Employing the latest in super-light technology every measure has been taken to keep the weight of the Predator LZ SL to a minimum. The boots are built on the same SprintFrame chassis as the F50 adizero and feature a SprintSkin upper. Along with a thinner, F50 inspired tongue, the Predator LZ SL package is notably lighter.





These modifications offer the lightest platform to date for the Predator series without jeopardizing comfort. Inside the Predator LZ SL you'll find the same levels of fit and feel in that of the standard edition Predator.



New Colourway Revealed For Nike Tiempo



Last but by no means least, Nike have given a new Volt/Green colour update to the Tiempo legend IV, ending Nike's day of bold football boot releases with a bang. Out of all the new paint jobs splashed across Nike's four silo's, the Tiempo Legend IV is defintely the loudest and it's a refreshing change for a boot that's often more understated.
Gleaming like a resprayed classic car, the Volt/Green colourway on the Tiempo Legend IV is bright and brash. Only small flashes of green positioned on the heel and laces and a black Nike swoosh break up the mainly Volt boot. Loud maybe, a perfect antidote to a dreary autumn afternoon, absolutely.





Word on the rumour mill is that the long serving Nike Tiempo Legend IV is the next in line for a major overhaul, with a new edition most likely dropping next year. But despite these whispers the Tiempo legend IV still continues to be popular amongst the top flight with players such as Andres Pirlo, Kieran Gibbs and Gerard Pique all sticking with the silo.





The Tiempo Legend IV has a traditional look and feel featuring a combined super soft k-leather and Nike's revolutionary Kanga-Lite material. While the leather importantly surfaces the front of the boot for an excellent touch, the Kanga-Lite is used in the lateral mid-foot and heel area to offer additional support whilst improving water retention.





The quilted stitching not only looks great but also provides a superb level of touch and feel. Another popular feature found in the Nike Tiempo Legend IV is the 'FITSOLE' sock-liner. Previously used by Nike running shoes and customized for football, the new sock-liner is thinner which bring the foot lower to the ground.


Nike CTR360 Gets Hi-Vis Colour Update



It's that time of year again, launches left, right and centre while brands are busy updating their Silo's to see them through to the new year. Now Nike have joined the party with four slick autumn colour-ups slapped on each of their boots. It's hard to choose a favourite but this new Volt/Green CTR360 Maestri III is a definite contender.
A far cry from the last Charcoal/White/Black paint job to be dropped on the CTR360, the new Volt/Green colourway is one for the loud crowd. It's far from OTT though, with the predominately bright Volt being counteracted by the more subtle green touches. Black laces, soleplate and swoosh provide a balanced finish to a stylish boot.





A bonefied fooballers favourite, the CTR360 Maestri III can be seen on some of the best midfield generals in the game. The likes of Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Jack Wilshere all wear the popular control boot. The CTR360 isn't just for the midfielder though, strikers such as Carlos Tevez and Englands newest hope Ricky Lambert are both fans of the silo.





The Nike CTR360 Maestri III is engineered to deliver enhanced control, traction, support and lightweight comfort using next generation Kanga-Lite synthetic material. The CTR360 Maestri III was also the first boot to utilise Nike's ACC (All condition control) technology which now features across all of their silo's.





An asymmetrical lacing system enlarges the control area and a new streamlined design enhances touch sensitivity. A dimpled texture on the mid-foot doesn't just offer nice aesthetics but also increases friction, once again aiding the players control and touch. The FG boots also use a more responsive sole-plate featuring a 360 degree stud placement; perfect for a midfielders constant turns and cuts.


Nike Mercurial Vapor IX Goes Purple



The Nike Mercurial Vapor IX has been given the Hi-Vis treatment as part of Nike's latest collection pack. The long-standing Mercurial silo is no stranger to the bright and bold. The new Purple/Black/Volt Hi-Vis colour-up is another one for the Mercurial's loud crowd, providing the perfect antidote for a grey Autumn afternoon.
The new design comes to life in a bright purple design, accented by contrasting Volt touches across the boot. The Purple/Black/Volt Mercurial Vapor IX arrives as part of Nike's new Hi-Vis collection, designed for ultimate on-pitch visibility in all conditions.





The Purple/Black/Volt succeeds the summer-themed Volt/Black/Citrus Mercurial as Nike's eighth release to the Vapor IX line. The Mercurial is still the daddy for players looking for maximum acceleration and with stylish colourways such as this, Nike are keeping their die-hard Mercurial fans happy.





The fading colour trend on the Vapor IX continues on the Purple/Black/Volt design with thePurple fading to a darker shade towards the heel of the boot. A Volt swoosh features boldly on the outsole of the boot creating a sharp finish on the flash backdrop.




HyperVenom Headlines Nike's Hi-Vis Collection



Nike turn on the style with their fourth release to the HyperVenom line. The newElectro Purple/Volt/Black colourway arrives as part of Nike's Hi-Vis collection that features some of the their wildest designs  yet. Nike have flipped the switch on their previous Stealth pack, going for a all-out colour that's sure to brighten up those dreary Autumn afternoons.
The Nike HyperVenom has quickly become one of the most popular boots in the game at all levels. A boot that combines the latest in technology, innovation and style, the HyperVenom has taken it's place as Nike's headline silo.





After three successful colourways, the HyperVenom is back with its loudest colourway yet. The new Electro Purple/Volt/Black colourway is a ready to make its way onto the feet of Nike's superstar line-up including Neymar, Wayne Rooney and Zlatan Ibrahimovic - three players who are used to standing out.



As Nike are showing, they're already having a lot of fun with the HyperVenom template. The Electro Purple/Volt/Black colourway follows the Black/CitrusLime/White/Black andCharcoal/Crimson/Black designs - all boots that proved to be real fan favourites.
