The recently launched adidas Samba Pack has started taking over Dubai and the UAE and anyone driving round town would have seen the brightly coloured billboards loaded with the faces of Messi, Ozil and the rest of the Samba crew. For those cruising down Sheikh Zayed Road on a daily basis, there’s no way you could miss the giant sized football boots and Brazuca football on display for this city and essentially the world (that’s how big they are) to see.

This new batch of football boots by the three stripes are life-like sculptures with all the tiny details you’d expect to see on the actual boots themselves. A very impressive display that has been turning heads since its erection. It has also been drawing a rather large crowd of random by-passers, myself included:

The boots have inevitably hit the feet of some of the AGL’s best players too and over the weekend I was keeping an eye on them in action. The biggest draw card by far, has to be Grafite – the former VfL Wolfsburg front man who is scoring goals for Al Ahli like a boss this season!

In action this weekend:
