Nike T90 - Boot Spy Update

Nike T90 - Boot Spy Update

**UPDATE 15/02/10** EA Sports have published some exclusive screenshots of their upcoming FIFA 2010 World Cup game, and it looks as if they have unwittingly unveiled Nike's new colourways for the World Cup.



The FIFA 2010 World Cup screenshots showcase a match between England and France, with both the in-game action and team line-ups giving the boots away. EA Sports have potentially given us a preview of new T90 Laser III colourways (, such as Rio Ferdinand in the England line-up). And it looks as though William Gallas and Aaron Lennon could be wearing the new Superfly II's...

**UPDATE 08/12/09** Ahead of their final Champions League Group match at Marseillie, Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos breaks in the new T90 Laser III boots!

 

 

Ramos also sported the Nike (RED) laces, supporting the fight against Aids/HIV in Africa. We think these make the T90 Laser 3 stand out even more, and we certainly can't wait to see these boots officially on pitch! Want fame and Boot Spy kudos?!

**UPDATE 03/12/09** It's a great sight for Boot Spotters and Liverpool fans alike, as "El Nino" Fernando Torres returns to training sporting the new T90 Laser III football boots!

 

 

While the Spain striker has been causing enough speculation over his return to club football, it didn't stop literally hundreds of SoccerBible Boot Spotters emailing us the sighting of Torres and his boot choice, taking part in training at Liverpool's Melwood complex. Kudos to Vinz Epino, Russell Beale, Adrian SjÖlund and Josh Bargary, who are just a small handful of the eagle-eyed boot spotters on the case.

**UPDATE 24/11/09** Wayne Rooney breaking in his potential new T90 Laser III boots in training for Manchester United!

 

Ahead of the Champions League tie Rooney was spotted play testing what look very much like the new Nike T90 Laser III's at United's Carrington Training Complex. Not quite blacked-out as Wayne's boots have a white swoosh on the side...

 

Thanks goes to Ken L from Singapore who was the first to spy Rooney in these boots from the hundreds of emails we received! Want fame and Boot Spy kudos?! Send your boot spotting gems to u2us@soccerbible.com with "Boot Spotting" as the subject...

 

**UPDATE 17/11/09** The German National Football Team poses for the obligitary line up photo, but Bayer Leverkusen's Patrick Helmes has got some special boots!

 

 

Whilst many pro's are waiting for their pair, it looks like Helmes has got his hands (ok, feet) on a pair of the new Laser III boots ahead of their 12/12/09 reveal!

 

Major kudos goes out to Boot Spotter Jan-Hinrich Meyer who alerted our Boot Spy to this great spot. Are Nike sneaking out the boots ahead of their official release? It certainly looks that way....

**UPDATE 24/10/09** Ahead of facing Manchester United on Sunday, Fernando Torres was once again snapped play testing new boots.

 

SoccerBible Community member FootballNotSoccer was the first to spy these shots from Liverpool's training session as the mercurial striker warmed up for the crunch clash with old enemies United.

Whilst all the paper talk was about his absence, the new SoccerBible Mail Box was flooded with comments and questions about Fernando Torres' football boots during a Liverpool training session.

 

Normally when we see pros play testing new football boots, the brands tend to give them a blacked out version to disguise any final design tweaks - but as you can see above, Torres does things his own way as the boots he sported were an all-white pair.

 

We had hundreds of emails wanting to know what these boots are, with plenty of suggestions ranging from the new T90 Laser III (likely) to a new Mercurial football boot (possibly), and even some hopeful mails suggesting Torres was play testing a new F50i TUNiT - which seems unlikely given his status within Nike!

 

 

'El Nino' - who didnt play against Sunderland on Saturday due to injury - picked up the September Barclays Player of the Month Award whilst sporting the mystery boots. The Spanish hitman played an influential role in his side's four goal defeat of Burnley at Anfield before hitting a brace - including the winner - in the hard-earned 3-2 win over West Ham United at Upton Park, before ending September in scintillating fashion with a sensational hat-trick as the Merseysiders comfortably saw off the challenge of Hull City with a 6-1 thrashing.

 

Kudos goes out to El_Nino_9, one of the eagle-eyed members of the SoccerBible community for this excellent boot spotting, which has since caused plenty of debate in the forums as to the identity of Torres' new footwear....
