Global Boot Spotting

The season races ever nearer to its climactic conclusion and our Boot Spotting eyes show no sign of letting up as we bring you the best new and upcoming releases, special editions, custom creations and throwback classics on the feet of players at the top of the game.

Raheem Sterling (Manchester City) New Balance Furon v6+

Bouncing back from their Champions League disappointment, Manchester City destroyed Newcastle United 5-0 to reaffirm their position at the top of the Premier League. Raheem Sterling bagged two of the five, and he did so in his latest signature edition Furon v6+ from New Balance, from the Shadow of my Dreams' collection.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Barcelona) Nike Mercurial Vapor IX

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang came off the bench in Barcelona's 2-1 win over Real Betis wearing a special pair of Nike Mercurial Vapor IX, with the design inspired by Ronaldo's OG Mercurial from 1998.

Omari Hutchinson (Arsenal) Next Gen PUMA Ultra

Giving us a glimpse of an upcoming release, Arsenal's Omari Hutchinson trained in what looks like the next generation PUMA Ultra this week. Expect to see more of this in the coming weeks.

Dusan Vlahovic (Juventus) Nike Mercurial Vapor 13

Marking himself out as a fan of a custom job, Dusan Vlahovic showed off yet another look created on Nike By You, creating a classy looking black and gold Mercurial Vapor 13, which he wore in training this week.

Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace) New Balance Furon v6+

Crystal Palace put the final nail in Watford's Premier League coffin with a 1-0 win this weekend, and Eberechi Eze made the switch into the 'Tri Aura' Furon v6+ for the game.

Michael Frey (Royal Antwerp) PUMA Future Z 1.3

The teaser edition of the PUMA Future Z 1.3 didn't get much of a look ini upon its release, appearing briefly on the feet of Neymar. But Royal Antwerp's Michael Frey isn't done with them just yet, wearing them in his side's last couple of matches. Expect to see this camouflaged design again in the coming weeks and months...

Declan Rice (West Ham United) adidas COPA Sense +

Interesting switch for Declan Rice in training this week, who finally got with the times to switch into the COPA Sense + 'Diamond Edge'. The England midfielder usually laces up in the COPA 20.1.

Jose Campana (Levante) Nike Tiempo Legend IX

Don't get to see the Nike 'Shadow Pack' on pitch all that often, so it's always a pleasure when we do. This week, Levante's Jose Campana laced up in the Tiempo Legend IX, setting up the first of his side's two goals in the 2-1 win.

Saido Berahino (Sheffield Wednesday) Nike Mercurial Superfly IV

The League One playoffs are underway, and for Sheffield Wednesday's semi final first leg against Sunderland Sadio Berahino wore the Nike Mercurial Superfly IV 'Liquid Chrome'. The match ended 1-0 to Sunderland, with the second leg to come tonight.

Marco Pinato (SPAL) adidas Predator Pulse

Always got time for a bit of classic Predator action, and SPAL's Marco Pinato obliged by wearing the Predator Pulse from the 'UCL Pack' in the 1-2 win over Benevento.

Przemyslaw Placheta (Norwich City) Nike Mercurial Superfly GS360

And along with the adidas Predator, we've also always got time for the Nike Mercurial Superfly GS360, which Norwich's Przemyslaw Placheta wore in his side's 0-4 defeat to West Ham.
