This weekend’s Premier League action once again delivered some great action with 30 goals being scored. It also threw up some very interesting boot spots. Check out our latest collection of boot spots from this weekend’s action.
We have featured Gareth Bale before in our boot spots but this weekend saw his boots get some added attention (not something Adidas will bemoan). Bale opened the scoring for Spurs and quickly whipped of his boots to reveal a ‘RIP Garry Speed’ tribute to the late Wales manager stitched on the side of his AdiZero MiCoach boots.
Bale’s teammate Kyle Walker caught the eye in the brand new Umbro GT II Pro boots. The Blue Radiance/Black/Orange Popsicle colourway certainly looked good on the pitch and we would love to see more of them. The boots were scheduled to make their debut last weekend but had that delayed to this weekend.
An ex-Spurs player caught our eye when he opted for a pair of Anodized Purple/Electricity/Infrared AdiZero boots. Wolves midfielder Jamie O’Hara has been an avid Adidas Predator wearer but wore the Adidas speed boot this weekend as Wolves beat Sunderland.
The surprise of the weekend must have been QPR skipper Joey Barton popping up in a pair of Black/Warning Adidas AdiPower Predator boots. Barton had been wearing white-out Puma PowerCat 1.12 boots prior to their release but looks to have moved on.
Joining Barton in AdiPower Predators was Stoke City’s Jonathan Woodgate. Woodgate has played very little football over the past 18 months but when he has it has been in the World Cup colourway Nike CTR360 Elite boots but has been in the AdiPower for a few weeks now.
Predators were out in all colourways this weekend – including a custom colourway on the feet of Norwich’s Marc Tierney. Tierney wore a bespoke colourway we would probably call White/Gold/Gold – which we must say is a pretty great looking colourway.
Tierney isn’t the only player in a custom boot in the Premier League. Swansea City’s Mark Gower has been wearing his custom White/Black/Orange T90 Laser III boots for awhile but they always look better with the Swan’s away kit.
Mario Balotelli wasn’t wearing a custom colourway of boots but has been in a pair of White/Cyber/Black CTR360 Maestri boots since the season started. Having been spotted in new colourways in training Super Mario has finally worn a new pair of boots in a fixture as he wore Nike’s White/Silver/Purple CTR360 colourway this weekend.
Another great performance from Phil Jones helped Manchester United keep in touch with Balotelli and his Manchester City teammates with a 1-0 win over Aston Villa. Jones scored his first goal for United from midfield wear the new Puma PowerCat 1.12 – which delighted both himself and Fergie.
Sometimes, the adiZero colourways can be a bit too extravagant. It’s pretty easy to see why, and a lot of players are opting for adiZeros that are a bit softer on the eyes. That’s what might have led Lloyd Sam to get the White/Red adiZero RS7 Pro. Primarily a rugby boot, they are certainly a very clean boot and they provide a nice little match with Leeds’ home kit!
Our final boot spot comes from Arsenal’s fixture against Wigan were we were treated to three great boot spots – and we were lucky enough to get them all in one image. Not only did all three players switch boots but they were also on the score sheet. Thomas Vermaelen found his scoring touch to hand the Gunners the lead. Vermaelen has been an Adidas Predator wearer but looks to have switched to Nike CTR360 Maestri II boots. Mikel Arteta was feature last week in Puma’s PowerCat 1.12 but opted to return to the King Finale this weekend. We thought he may be debuting their new White/Team Orange/Dark Navy colourway but was wear the older White/Black/Gold version. The final spot was Robin van Persie who was back in the Predator X! The Dutch striker wore the hugely successful Electricity/Black/Poppy colourway – which were custom made for him with an actual tongue rather than the Predator X’s fold over tongue.
