It was all part of Nike’s Write History campaign, but I can’t help but feel partly responsible for the Ultra-violet purple and orange colourway of the new Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly II. You see, some time ago, I put together the PTP edition of the Nike Mercurial Vapor IV’s in a plum colourway and ever [...]
The launch of these bad boys may still only be 3 days away, but that didn’t stop me spotting them a mile away. Actually, to be Totally honest, it was Torres’ silky gold locks that got me all hot and bothered at first (reminded me of an old flame!)… more than anything though, I was [...]
If you’re like me and thought Didier Drogba was wearing (RED) laces in honour of Arsenal in last night’s match… then you’d better think again fool! It’s time to stop wishing for a medical answer to Africa’s medical crisis. Because one already exists. And while it’s only part of a larger solution, it can help [...]
North London’s favourite midget, Jermain Defoe, is the toast of the town today after taking a chance on a silver pair of Adidas F50i Tunit’s and scoring 5 goals. Press Association writes: I had a funny feeling before the game,” Defoe said. “Adidas gave me a pair of green boots and I tried them on [...]
What’s an Adidas football boot if it can’t be fully customised for the biggest name in world football and Adidas’ biggest asset right? Well that’s what the geniuses over at the three stripes must have been thinking, so naturally they created this custom colourway and unleashed them through the PR machine that is David Becks [...]
Mutton chops, may just be the best thing to happen to the side of the head since ears and you know that if Becks is sporting them sooner or later, gay and straight men the world over will be running around with “designer” forests growing off their faces… just wait till you see see my [...]
These bad boys may have a silly name, a mediocre design and a synthetic leather that mimics kangaroo leather, but if they can assist in 4 goals and even score a screamer on debut, then surely Nike have done something right again! Dammit, those guys are never wrong!… psst. Puma and Anelka take note, you [...]
If you’ve ever wanted to look like Spiderman whilst playing football but didn’t quite have the right boots for the occasion, don’t fret any longer cause your time has come and all your prayers have been answered! Ok, the colours are a little off Spidey’s all blue and red ensemble so you will have to [...]
What better way to promote a new pair of boots than by wreaking havoc against your old team and literally tearing them apart! Getting stuck into Fabergas’ ankles, taking a chunk out of Van Persies face and then basking in glory in front of the Arsenal fans when scoring have all been major talking points [...]
So my prediction here was correct… and in case you’re wondering what I’m on about, yes Cristiano Ronaldo was revealed wearing the Black / Voltage Yellow Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly’s. Ha! In more good news, apparently, a Nike executive recently confirmed that the company’s wish is to have all of their sponsored professionals playing in [...]
As I sit here watching the final of the Confederations Cup unfold like an action packed episode of Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, the U.S MNT sit 2-0 up against the might of Brazil… so once again, i am gob-smacked! Plus, given my earlier prediction of the match, don’t I feel like an ass at the moment!?
10min in and that man again, Clint ‘The Giant Killer’ Dempsey, wearing his all white Nike Superfly’s bagged the nights opening goal and his third of the tournament… I wonder if the US can keep this up!?
Judging by the highlights below, it seemed as though Spain were the only team on the attack, whilst their opposition hid in caves continuously tried to catch them on the counter. With laser-like precision (or not), España hit their opposition with wave after wave of attack, almost like they were dropping bombs in the Middle East, so it doesn’t really surprise me that Iraq were on the receiving end again… will that country ever get a break!?
Some real impressive rumours are being thrown around at the moment. Things like: Olive wreaths will be presented to the winners as opposed to medals, women playing harps will be seated in cages above areas of the grandstand and possibly my favourite of the bunch, tigers and Gladiators will be thrown onto the field if [...]
With all the hype surrounding the UCL final, I almost let the ball slip on posting about the new F50i Tunit’s that Lionel Messi will be kitted in for tonight’s match. FINALLY, Adidas have made a boot that will compete with the slickness and sophistication of the Nike Mercurial Vapors and Superflys!
At heart I’m a minimalist, so looking at this design is like looking at Adidas in a new light, as though they tossed their rich history of plunking three solid lines all over our their products out the window and opted to be a bit more subtle about their approach. And the colour isn’t all that bad either. It’s almost an electric blue, which works well to push their marketing tag line “Every team needs the spark”.
I’ve hastily been scouring the internet over the last week or so, for images of all the players that were wearing Nike’s latest creations, the Mercurial Vapor Superfly’s and surprisingly like a police investigation at Tony Soprano’s house, the more I dug, the more I seem to find!
Here’s what I’ve got so far, feel free to add to the list if I’ve missed some players and I’ll source images to include in future posts.
