Weekly Football Boot Watch – Unique Creations, 2002 Remakes & Youngest Player to Wear Signature Boots
While last week saw Marc Cucurella's Puma Future mishap dominate headlines, this week brought fresh boot appearances across the footballing world. In collaboration with Bootsclub, we break down the top boot spottings of the week.
1. Mario Lemina – Custom Adidas Predator 24 LL
Wolves midfielder Mario Lemina hit the pitch in a striking custom Adidas Predator 24 LL. His pair features a white base adorned with bold black slogans like "Hard Work," giving it a motivational edge.
2. Lamine Yamal – Adidas F50 Signature Boots
Barcelona's Lamine Yamal made history as the youngest player ever to wear his own signature boots. His pinky signature boots are available this week.
3. Vinicius Junior – Nike Mercurial Vapor I ‘RGN’
Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior lit up the pitch in the remake of the 2002 Nike Mercurial Vapor I soccer cleats. The tech of the innovative boots is 22 years old - but still good enough for one of the world's best players.
4. Rodrigo Aguirre – Custom Yellow Nike Mercurial Superfly 10 Matching His Club América Kit
Club América forward Rodrigo Aguirre turned heads with his custom yellow Nike Mercurial Superfly 10 boots. Based on Mbappé’s signature design, Aguirre’s pair is a perfect match for Club América's yellow kit.
5. Michael Olise – Nike Hypervenom III Matching Kits
Michael Olise matched his boots with his kits again, opting for white boots with Bayern's off-white third kit in the Champions League and for blackout boots with Bayern's black away kit in the Bundesliga.
Olise is without a boot contract, allowing him to wear discounted boots (Nike Hypervenom) in any paint jobs he wants.
