Global Football Boots Spotting - 29/04/13

Richard Foster (Bristol City) miadidas f50 adizero

One of the best spots from the weekend comes from Bristol City's Championship match against Huddersfield Town. There's a real craze for custom boots nowadays. Bristol's Scottish right-back Richard Foster was spotted wearing a bespoke pair of leather f50 adizero football boots, created using the miadidas online service and stylishly coloured with a white/silver/blue design.

Zdravko Kuzmanovic (Inter Milan) Nike iD Mercurial Vapor IX

Predator regular Zdravko Kuzmanovic made a surprise switch this past weekend, lacing up in a pair of Nike iD Mercurial Vapor IX boots for Inter Milan's Serie A fixture with Palermo. The Serbian midfielder looks to have hung up his adidas Predator boots in favour of the Mercurial V9. He's given them a personal touch to with a custom paint job and his club no.17 on the heel.

Oleg Shatov (Anzhi Makhachkala) Nike CR Mercurial Vapor IX

It takes a certain type of player to wear the Nike CR Mercurial Vapor IX boots, but Russian midfielder Oleg Shatov obviosuly thinks he has the skills to pay the bills! The Anzhi Makhachkala play-maker was spotted wearing the boots for the first time during his sides Russian Premier League match against Spartak Moscow.

Cesar Navas (Rubin Kazan) miadidas Predator LZ

Another player who's been enjoying his time on miadidas. Rubin Kazan defender Cesar Navas was spotted in a new pair of Predator LZ football boots for his sides match with CSKA Moscow. Taking the design of his boots into his own hands, the Spanish born centre-back has designed his Predator LZs with a unique blue pink colour combo.

Philippe Senderos (Fulham) Nike Tiempo Legend IV

No nonsense defenders usually like a certain type of football boot. And when it comes to the colour, the preference is usually black and white. Fulham centre-back Philippe Senderos certainly fits this profile. The Swiss defender has customised his White/Green Tiempo Legend IV boots by blacking out the green swoosh, giving the impression of them being a Nike iD job.

Lionel Messi (Barcelona) adidas f50 adizero Messi

Lionel Messi was back amongst the goals this past weekend, scoring his 24th away goal of the season against Athletic Bilbao and setting a new La Liga record in the process. The Barca no.10 hasn't been shy in front of goal since switching to his signature adizero boots and has now scored 44 La Liga goals this campaign. His boots are customised with a leather upper, as you can see from the three stripes stitched across the forefoot.

Demba Ba (Chelsea) adidas f50 adizero

Chelsea striker Demba Ba has been reluctant to wear the latest adizero generation, continuing to play in the Silver/Infrared colourway of last seasons model. Ba returned for Chelsea this past weekend weraring the perfectly matched Blue/White/Pink f50 adizero against Swansea. They definitley looked the part paired with Chelsea's unmistakable home colours. Although we're not sure about wearing gloves in April!

Samuel Eto'o (Anzhi Makhachkala) PUMA evoSPEED 1

Remember this guy?! We don't see too much of Samuel Eto'o these days, which must be frustrating for PUMA who still have the former Barca man on their books. The Anzhi Makhachkala mega-money striker, now 32 years old, is still getting amongst the goals scoring 16 this season wearing the PUMA evoSPEED. Like most of PUMA's endorsed evoSPEED wearers, Eto'o was wearing the Red/White/Blue colourway.
