With games coming thick and fast over the weekend (and TRW taking a few days off) there were far to many boot spots to jam into one article so we decided to bring you a ‘best of’ from the games played over the New Years period. It’s our first boot spot of 2012 and possible one of our best.
It was a new year and a new haircut for Manchester United midfielder Anderson who returned from a long injury layoff. United have been ravaged by injuries and the Brazilian’s return to fitness is a boost. Anderson made his comeback in the Champions League colourway Adidas AdiPower Predator.
Tottenham Hotspur fullback Benoit Assou-Ekotto raised a few eyebrows when he appeared wearing an AdiPower Predator on one foot and an AdiZero MiCoach boot on the other. Benoit has been wearing different colourways but has taken it to the next level with different boots.
The coming of a new year is an opportunity to start a fresh and try new things and it seems Bolton striker David Ngog has done so when he wore the new AdiZero. Ngog has been in a pair of White/White/Warning AdiZero II boots for most of his Bolton career.
It’s always about the new however as Newcastle winger Jonas Gutierrez showed when he switched from Umbro Geometra Pro boots to an old pair of Silver/Black Stealth Pro I boots.
We expected Luka Modric to wear Nike’s alternate White/Blue/Volt Superfly III colourway as he seems to be a fan of White boots so we were a little surprised to see him wearing the recently released Purple/Silver colourway.
We were interested to see Mario Balotelli wearing the alternate Dark Shadow/Volt CTR360 Maestri II colourway but it seems to have caught the eye of Stoke’s Robert Huth who has also opted for the understated colourway.
Nigel De Jong was a familiar face in the Manchester City side last season but has struggled for game time so far this season. De Jong has been an avid Puma King Finale wearer but has now joined a host of stars in the PowerCat 1.12.
Adidas released arguably one of their best AdiPower Predator colourways when they released the White/Blue/Black/Warning colourway. We were disappointed to hear that it would have no official on field support so we were glad to see Everton star Tim Cahill wearing the colourway.
A boot we think could have a huge impact this year is Umbro’s new speed boot the GT II Pro. Kyle Walker and Connor Wickham have both impressed in the boot so far and are joined by Norwich forward Simeon Jackson.
Robin van Persie was arguably the player of 2011 and we hope he continues to have an injury free and prolific 2012. A lot has been said recently about van Persie’s AdiPower Predators after the Dutch forward was spotted in a custom soleplate.
