An international break offers some respite in what has been another action packed week of domestic and European football. Looking back through the past seven days, we've picked out our selection of the boots on show.
Paul Pogba (Juventus) adidas ACE 16+ Purecontrol
Paul Pogba moved into his limited edition adidas ACE 16+ Purecontrol boots after signing with adidas last week. The Juventus man was sporting his signature boots against Bayern Munich in the Champions League and then in his side's 4-1 win in the Turin derby against Torino on Sunday.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund) Nike Hypervenom Phantom II
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was one of the first players to switch into Nike's new 'Radiant Reveal' pack this week as the Borussia Dortmund forward laced up the Hypervenom Phantom II to help knock Tottenham Hotspur out of the Europa League.
Muhamed Bešić (Everton) Nike Magista Obra
Muhamed Besic doesn't like the Nike Magista Obra collar, nor does he like the latest colourway – which makes you wonder why he doesn't just wear a different boot entirely. Besic isn't alone however, he's one of a few players to trim the collar off to create a Flyknit Opus and the blackout is the mark of the unsponsored.
Shusaku Nishikawa (Urawa Red Diamonds) Nike Tiempo Legend 6
Urawa Red Diamonds goalkeeper Shusaku Nishikawa has been busy creating his own custom pair of Nike Tiempo Legend 6 boots. The Japanese stopper has opted for a bright yellow upper that hosts a red Swoosh with blue detailing on the heels and laces.
Jamie Jones (Stevenage) adidas Predator Powerswerve
Jamie Jones breathed life back into the famous Predator at the weekend as his Stevenage side faced Northampton. The 2007 Predator Powerswerve was the goalkeeper's boot of choice in traditional black, red and white. A modern classic for players of a certain generation and a timeless design that we surely haven't seen the back of just yet.
Jetro Willems (PSV) Nike Mercurial Superfly IV
Jetro Willems might sound like he should be a tractor driver on a farm in Shropshire, but he's not, he's a professional footballer for PSV, and he ain't wearing wellies either. During the top of the table clash with Ajax at the weekend Willems moved into the new 'Radiant Reveal' Nike Mercurial Superfly IV.
Nuri Şahin (Borussia Dortmund) Nike Magista Obra
Nuri Şahin was another eager player to lace up in the new 'Radiant Reveal' pack this weekend. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder slipped into the Magista Obra as his side kept the pressure on Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga with a 3-1 win away at Augsburg.
Karim Benzema (Real Madrid) adidas X 15+
Karim Benzema was breaking embargoes on Sunday night as he helped fire Real Madrid to a 4-0 win over Sevilla at the Bernabeu. Laced up in the unreleased adidas X Skeleton boot, Benzema was giving a glimpse of the next-generation of X updates. The boot is expected to feature a slightly alternative upper and will be released towards the latter part of the domestic season.
Benoît Assou-Ekotto (Saint-Étienne) adidas Predator adiPower
Continuing his 'eBae' shopping spree, Benoit Assou-Ekotto has picked up another pair of old school boots this week in the form of the Slime adidas Predator adiPower from 2011. The Saint-Etienne defender's recent move comes after he explained he won't prostitute himself to brands and would rather buy his boots on eBay. Keep surprising us Benoit.
Olivier Deschacht (Anderlecht) Nike Tiempo Legend 6
Olivier Deschacht was also amongst the small number of Nike athletes to make an early appearance in the 'Radiant Pack' this week. The Anderlecht veteran was sporting the Tiempo Legend 6 design as his side were dumped out of the Europa League by Shakhtar Donetsk.
Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) Nike Mercurial Vapor X
The man of the moment struck again as Marcus Rashford's solitary goal gave bragging rights to the red half of Manchester on Sunday. The Man United youngster was thrown into the starting XI a few weeks back still wearing his blacked out academy boots and Nike have been quick to promote him to their first team too by sticking him in the Metal Flash Vapor X.
