adidas f50 adizero Silver/Black/Blue - When it comes to new boots, this time of the year is always relativley quiet. But one boot that's won over a lot of the SB crew is the Silver/Black/Blue f50 adizero. They haven't made many headlines and they're not being worn by Lionel Messi or Gareth Bale, but that's partly why we've got a lot of love for them!
Nike Elastico Pro II Pink/Lime - Part of Nike's middle tier Fives range, the new Elastico Pro II is designed to enhance movement, traction and underfoot ball control on wood or linoleum surfaces. They carry the famous Nike Fives style with bold colours and graphics. It takes a certain type of player to wear these, but performance wise they're up there with the best.
Nike Sportswear Rosherun - Each year Nike release a shoe that rules the pavement. This year that honour goes to the Rosherun. After landing last year, the Nike Roshe Runner has gone on to become a real winner on the streets. This favoured sneaker features a woven upper with suede quarter panels, nailing the comfort style factors.
Reusch Argos Deluxe G2 - Reusch have long been known for making some of the best gloves in the world. The Reusch Argos Deluxe G2 Ortho-Tec gloves - worn by Brazil s Julio Cesar - are some of the most advanced on the market, featuring Reusch's highest quality G2 Ultrasoft latex. They provide unbeatable grip in wet and dry conditions plus excellent durability.
Nike5 Duravel - One of our favourite five-a-side balls and the current ball of choice for our own SB fives team! This model has been around for a while now, but still holds its own as one of the best looking and performing Duravel balls. Constructed for long lasting design perfect for those high-intensity turf games, the Nike5 Duravel ball also uses geo-balanced technology to provide excellent shape retention.
Trusox Mid-Calf Cushion Crew Socks - The new product craze sweeping the Premier League. Just ask Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez and Gareth Bale! TruSox lock the foot in the shoe, as non-slip pads on the outside and inside stop the sock from sliding on your foot, and in turn the sock from sliding within the boot. TruSox generate a 'moulded to the foot' feel and increase comfort in both training and matches.
adidas F50 Messi Pro Lite Pads - The best shin pads for us are ones that you can barely even notice your wearing. We're a fan of small shin pads and these f50 Pro Lite pads are the perfect size and weight. They also come with the added bonus of a supportive compression sleeve to prevent the pads from slipping, so you don't have to go round asking everyone if they've got any tape 10 minutes before kick off!
Nike GF France Crew - If the French are good for something, it's style. Nike Sportswear combine football with fashion to create a cool and casual off-pitch collection that includes this Nike GF France Crew. Paying homage to the French Football Federation this crew is ideal for that post-match pint.
Nike Football Liberco Compact Duffel - Turning up on a match-day with your gear in a plastic carrier bag should be against the rules. Your boots deserve better than that! This Nike Liberco Compact Duffel bag looks the business and can comfortably store a few pairs of boots as well as your other match-day essentials.
