As league season flows into World Cup season we're taking a look back at the past seven days to see which players are turning heads with their footwear. From upcoming designs, to custom game, to the latest packs for Russia. Let's go...
Marcos Junior (Fluminense) Nike Mercurial Superfly 360
Nike's 2018 World Cup football boot collection begun to find its way onto pitches at the weekend. Leading Nike players will wait until their domestic seasons are over before switching into World Cup mode, but a number of players have gone early. Fluminense's Marcos Junior has created a lo-cut Superfly by trimming down the collar. Just buy the Vapor, pal.
James Troisi (Australia) adidas Predator 18+
The adidas 2018 World Cup boot pack is yet to officially be revealed, but it did make a sneaky appearance on pitch at the weekend as Australia's James Troisi made an early switch into the strong volt design. Stay tuned for the full launch in the coming days.
Andres Iniesta (Barcelona) Nike Magista Opus II
Paying tribute to the talismanic Iniesta, Nike marked the last game in which he graced the Camp Nou turf as a Barcelona player by producing a special edition pair of Magista boots. A reworked take on the recently release 'Just Do It' pack.
Michael Ballack (Chelsea Legends) adidas Nitrocharge 1.0
With the domestic seasons coming to a close the legends games commence. Chelsea hosted Inter Milan at Stamford Bridge at the weekend as Michael Ballack returned in the short-lived Nitrocharge series.
Daryl Sutch (Norwich City) Nike T90 Laser II
Inter Milan Legends also visited Norwich at the weekend, giving Daryl Sutch the opportunity to dust off his Nike T90 Laser II boots. The second-generation silo launched in 2008 and was worn by leading Swoosh strikers including Fernando Torres and Wayne Rooney.
Wellington (Vissel Kobe) Nike Mercurial Vapor 360 2006
The Nike Mercurial Heritage Collection has been a big hit with players this month. The nostalgic pack is inspired by previous Mercurials worn at the last five World Cups. Vissel Kobe's Wellington has snagged a pair of the Vapor III tributes, which were worn at the 2006 World Cup.
Vladimir Granat (Russia) Nike Hypervenom 3
There was more "Just Do It" representation on training pitches this week as Russia's Vladimir Granat switched into the "White/Volt" Hypervenom 3 which will be worn competitively for the first time when Russia kick off the tournament against Saudi Arabia on June 14.
Leeroy Owusu (Almere City) Nike Mercurial Vapor Flyknit Ultra
One of the sharpest kit/boot combinations of the weekend was Almere City's Leeroy Owusu wearing the Nike Mercurial Vapor Flyknit Ultra. The limited edition boot provided the foundation for the next-generation Mercurial 360 series.
Andrew Nabbout (Australia) adidas X 18.1
After months of seeing blacked out editions on training pitches, the launch colourway of the next generation adidas X series has emerged. Australia's Andrew Nabbout slipped into the unreleased boot ahead of a launch later this week, along with the full adidas World Cup 2018 collection.
Massimo Luongo (Australia) New Balance Tekela 1.0
Australia's Massimo Luongo will be one of the New Balance players headlining the new Tekela 1.0 silo in Russia next month. Launched alongside the new-gen Furon 4.0, the Tekela features a white and red wrap as a nod to the 2018 host nation.
