World Boot Spotting April 2012
Our last boot spotting of the domestic season includes some random spots from across the European leagues, with an array of blacked-out, custom and new football boots on show. Our boot spotting lens also turned it's attention to Euro 2012 and across to South America, so check out who caught our eye this week...
Sergio Aguero (Manchester City) Puma v1.11
When
Puma signed Sergio Aguero, they knew he'd bag a good number of goals
for Manchester City. But none will be more important than his 94th
minute winner against QPR which secured his club the Premier League
title in the most dramatic of circumstances. With Manchester City
recently announcing a new partnership with Nike, the American brand will
be kicking themselves for losing one of the worlds best strikers from
their books.
 
Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid) adidas Predator Lethal Zones
Xabi
Alonso finished the La Liga season wearing a blacked out pair of adidas
Predator LZ football boots during Real Madrid's final home game against
Mallorca. The Spanish international has made a handful of appearances
wearing the new Predator since their launch, but presumably isn't a fan
of the current colourways! Judging from his adiPure days, the midfielder
is more in favour of traditional looking boots. It will be interesting
to see what he wears for the European Championships.
 
Mathieu Valbuena (Marseille) Nike Vapor VII/Superfly III
Despite
trying them out last week, Mathieu Valbuena is so far turning his back
on the new Vapor VIII's and instead preferring to remain in the older
versions. It will be interesting to see if this remains the case as we
head into the Euro's, and with Nike planning on getting all their
players in the 'Nike Clash Collection'.
 
Alessandro Del Piero (Juventus) adidas adiPure 11Pro
After
an illustrious career with Juventus, Del Piero played and scored in his
last game for the club. The title was already in the bag, but with
victory Juventus completed a record season in which they were unbeaten.
Del Piero wore adiPure 11Pro's, and we imagine they are a pair he will
cherish and keep, after over 500 appearances for the Turin giants.
 
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Saint-Etienne) Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII Custom
At
first glance you might think Aubameyang is wearing the Sail/White Vapor
8's, currently being sported by Cristiano Ronaldo. But closer
inspection confirms Pierre-Emerick has designed his own pair of
Mercurial Vapors in White/Green, a classy match for the Saint-Etienne
kit.
