Weekend Football Boots Spotting - 30/05/11
It was another fascinating weekend of football across the world headlined by the Champions League Final at Wembley Stadium! With domestic leagues across Europe at an end, our SoccerBible boot spotters had to look further afield to see what boots were being worn worldwide! Check out what players and boots have made it in this week.
 |
 |
|
David Villa (Barcelona) adidas F50 adiZero |
|
|
We think David Villa's Champions League Final boots will find their way into the Spanish strikers boot collection! Villa debuted his new Anodized Purple/Electricity F50 adiZero football boots Saturday night as he helped Barcelona secure another Champions League title with a sublime second half strike. |

 |
 |
|
David Beckham (LA Galaxy) adidas Predator DB adiPower |
|
|
Beckham's gold-standard adiPower's have made it stateside. David Beckham gave his stunning new Gold/Red/Black adiPower DB Predator football boots their LA Galaxy debut as he helped his side to a 1-0 win over the New England Revolution. |

 |
 |
|
Lovel Palmer (Houston Dynamo) adidas Predator adiPower |
|
|
With the huge player uptake the new adiPower Predator football boots have received already, you can't blame Houston Dynamo's Lovel Palmer for wanting to make his more unique! The Dynamo player was spotted wearing a pair of adiPower's with bright electricity laces that made them impossible to miss! |
|
 |
 |
|
Lucas Podolski (Germany) adidas F50 adiZero Prime |
|
|
Lucas Podolski provided us with the first spot of the new Electricity/Purple adiZero Prime football boots! The German international has never been shy with his footwear so it was no surprise to see Podolski wearing one of adidas' most outrageous boot colour-ways yet! |
|
 |
 |
|
Giovanni dos Santos (Mexico) adidas F50 adiZero |
|
|
Racing Santander's on-loan midfielder Giovanni dos Santos was spotted in the new Purple/Electricity leather adiZero football boots while on international duty for Mexico. We thought the new adiZero colour-ways were given first rights to the Champions League final but from the looks of things they have already made themselves half way around the world! |
|
 |
 |
|
Lionel Messi (Barcelona) adidas F50 adizero |
|
|
The star man of the weekend. Lionel Messi gave his new Electricity/Purple leather adiZero boots their dream debut on Saturday night as he inspired Barcelona to Champions League glory. As the world watched on, Messi put on a masterclass wearing his unmissable new adiZero football boots! |
|
 |
 |
|
Michael Arroyo (Ecuador) Nike Mercurial CR Superfly |
|
|
Michael Arroyo was spotted in Cristiano Ronaldo's exclusive CR Superfly III football boots at the weekend as he helped Ecuador to a 1-1 draw against Mexico with a 37 minute strike. Arroyo is either a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo or just the boots themselves! Either way, they certainly looked the part with his Ecuador kit. |
|
 |
 |
|
Dani Alves (Barcelona) adidas F50 adiZero Prime |
|
|
Dani Alve's made up Barcelona's adiZero trio that started at Wembley on Saturday night. After beginning the season wearing Nike Superfly's, Alves finishes another successful campaign as an official adidas player! The Brazilian full back looked great wearing the new adiZero colour-way that is so suited to Barcelona's homes strip! |
|
 |
 |
|
Je-Vaughan Watson (Houston Dynamo) adidas adiPower Predator |
|
|
Houston Dynamo's Jamaican midfielder Je-Vaugn Watson was spotted in a pair of Blue/Electricity/Black Predator adiPower football boots with a considerable amount of tape wrapped around the middle of both boots. |
|
 |
 |
|
Anthony Lippini (Ajaccio) adidas F50 adiZero Prime |
|
|
Ajaccio's French defender Anthony Lippini spotted in a blacked out pair of Warning adiZero Prime football boots during his sides French L2 football match against NÎmes. Ajaccio's French forward Jean-Pierre Riviere provided us with another bonus boot spot wearing a pair of White/Red Nike AZT 90 Supremacy boots! |
|
 |
 |
|
Neicer Reasco (Ecuador) Puma King XL |
|
|
Ecuador's Neicer Reasco spotted in a partially blacked out pair of Red/White Puma King football boots during his sides international match against Mexico. It's hard to tell whether Reasco has once tried to black out his King's or simply hasn't cleaned them in a long time! |
|
 |
 |
|
Antonio Valencia (Manchester United) adidas F50 adizero |
|
|
As Messi/Villa/Alves paraded around Wembley wearing some of the most noticeable boots on show, Manchester Untied's Antonio Valencia was sporting a more reserved look! Wearing his blacked out pair of adiZero football boots, the former Predator wearer had a frustrating night trying to keep up with his fellow adiZero players! |
