Paulo Dybala (Juventus) Nike Mercurial Superfly Heritage iD

In setting the pace and bagging a brace, the season of Paulo Dybala was personified as The Old Lady put Sampdoria to bed in a 5-0 win on Sunday. Suiting up in a pair of Mercurial Superfly Heritage iD, he won all over in these boots.

James McClean (West Bromwich Albion) Nike Nike 'What The Mercurial'

James McClean is a player you want to know more about. In no doubts he's got a collection of boots that's up there with the best of them and in picking up a pair of 'What The Mercurial', he gave them a battling run out as West Brom held Liverpool to a draw. Tattoos from sleeves to knees, dude's got style.

Jamie Vardy (Leicester City) Nike VAHREZ iD Hypervenom Phantom II

The party bus seems to have made a stop at every Premier League ground going this season and the driver, one Mr Vardy has just not taken his foot off the accelerator. Wearing his VAHREZ iD Hypervenom Phantom II, both him and Mahrez played it cool once more away at Chelsea as Leicester fought and earned a draw.

Presnel Kimpembe

Presnel Kimpembe (Paris Saint-Germain) adidas X16+ PURECHAOS

The way PSG ripped up Ligue 1 with 'challengers' trailing from early on, it's no surprise the likes of Presnel Kimpembe have slipped into an early blacked out pair of X16+ PURECHAOS boots. Blacked out as it stands, the lights are due to be turned on any day. Don't worry about the repair bill, adidas have got that covered.

Kevin Mirallas

Kevin Mirallas (Everton) Nike Mercurial Vapor XI

Not only did Everton pick up a win on the weekend but they also kept a clean sheet. A chance to bring a little party to the play, Kevin Mirallas donned a pair of Mercurial Vabor XI. Planning to go under the radar with these Kev? Slotting one in at the back post was as cool as they come. Prepare for a summer party, these could be special.

Memphis Depay

Memphis Depay (Manchester United) Under Armour Unknown

Switching things around for the warm up, the short time the players took the pitch at Old Trafford on Sunday gave Memphis Depay a chance to dance in a fresh pair of Under Armour boots. An interesting frame, it looks a fresh chapter for the innovators out of America. No black-out prototypes here, it's all white and everything and they're looking smart.

Ryan Bertrand
Ryan Bertrand

Ryan Bertrand (Southampton) Nike Mercurial Vapor X

He's got a call up to Roy Hodgson's preliminary EURO 2016 squad and he's playing it pretty damn cool. Ryan Bertrand slotted in a seamless penalty for Southampton as they swept Crystal Palace to the side donning an all black pair of Mercurial Vapor X. No nonsense but plenty of volume, sometimes less is more. Socks just over the knee too, go on Ry.

Samuel Eto'o

Samuel Eto'o (FIFA Football Legends) adidas ACE 16.1

Samuel Eto'o took his ACE 16.1 out for a spin and added a little dash of his own doing. A touch of personality for one of the world's greatest as he laced up for a FIFA Legends game, you can stick the B&Q colour chart for these boots. Just ask for what big Sam is having.

Oscar Perez

Oscar Perez (Pachuca) Under Armour Speedform Batman

Ever wondered whether Oscar Perez was more of a Batman guy than Superman? Question well and truly answered as this capeless crusader between the sticks lined up for Pachuca against Santos in a pair of Under Armour 'Speedform Batman'. What do you reckon Oscar - Christian Bale or Ben Affleck? Michael Keaton personally.
