Plenty of ammunition for some Boot Spotting, as we bring you the best new and upcoming releases from around the world, including some special edition fire, and some customised kicks. Sit back and check out the best of what’s about.
Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly IX Rashford
Having been a Nike athlete for his whole career, Marcus Rashford finally got his first ever signature pair of boots from the brand, which he's since been wearing in recent matches.
Rafael Leao (AC Milan) adidas X Crazyfast .1 Bugatti
Speed got a little bit faster recently, when adidas paired up with Bugatti for a premium limited edition drop. Rafael Leao was spotted in the X Crazyfast .1 Bugatti in AC Milan's 0-1 loss to Udinese. Don't forget, only 99 pairs of these have been produced, and they go on auction this Wednesday...
Federico Dimarco (Inter Milan) Special Edition adidas X Crazyfast
Couple of players spotted in what must be an upcoming special edition release of the adidas X Crazyfast this week. Federico Dimarco wore them in training, and the textured upper is a dead giveaway that this ain't a regular X Crazyfast. Watch this space...
Ferran Torres (Barcelona) Special Edition adidas X Crazyfast
Another player spotted in the upcoming special edition from adidas, Ferran Torres has taken things a step further with his X Crazyfast, wearing them in Barca's recent matches.
Harvey Elliott (Liverpool) New Balance Tekela v4 low
Looks like Harvey Elliott has got himself a new signature edition boot from New Balance. The Liverpool midfielder was spotted wearing a custom red colourway in a recent training session, although he switched back to a whiteout pair when he came off the bench against Luton. Expect to see more of this signature colourway very soon...
Harry Kane (Bayern Munich) Skechers SKX_01
Harry Kane's immense start to life in Germany continued this weekend, with the England captain bagging his third hat-trick for Bayern in his first Der Klassiker, taking his tally to 15 Bundesliga goals and setting a new record for most goals in a player's first 10 Bundesliga appearances. All done in the Skechers SKX_01 – not a bad endorsement.
Oleksandr Zinchenko (Arsenal) Skechers Razor
The Skechers star keeps rising as the brand continues to increase its roster, and the latest player to join is Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko, who has traded PUMA for a pair of Skechers Razor, the brand's speed silo.
Emile Smith-Rowe (Arsenal) Next-Gen adidas Predator
Sticking with Arsenal, and Emile Smith-Rowe is one of the few players to be wearing the upcoming next generation adidas Predator in matches. We've seen plenty of it on training grounds, but not often in actual games. Smith-Rowe has opted for the low cut laced option, while the fold-over tongue variation – favoured by Jude Bellingham – is gaining a lot of attention.
Alvaro Morata (Atletico Madrid) adidas COPA Pure +
Alvaro Morata loves playing around with his footwear choices, and in the game against Alaves, he scored what ended up being the winner in a specially customised whiteout pair of adidas COPA Pure +, with the outer two of the Three Stripes painted in red to represent his club's colours.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Napoli) PUMA Future Z 1.4
Looks like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's time with Nike could be nearing an end, after the attacker wore a pair of PUMA Future Z 1.4 in Napoli's recent Champions League win over Union Berlin. The midfielder has since returned to Nike Peak Ready Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor XV, so may be that a new contract has been signed. One to keep an eye on.
Erling Haaland (Manchester City) Nike Phantom GX
Erling Haaland's form continues to be a bit hit and miss (missing De Bruyne?), but you can never count the Norwegian out, and he was desperately unlucky not to scoop the Ballon D'Or last week. He's been wearing the Nike Phanton GX from the 'Peak Ready' pack, customised with his "Force9" callout, but you can't help thinking that he must be due a signature edition soon...
