Global Football Boots Spotting - 16/12/13 - Football News

Andros Townsend (Tottenham Hotspur) adidas adizero F50

The shining light in Tottenham's disappointing season so far has been the form of Andros Townsend. Where Spurs' new signings haven't delivered Townsend has and it's surprising he's yet to sign a boot deal with a brand. Having recently worn the Nike Mercurial IX and XV Townsend is now trying his luck with adidas' rival F50. Should be only a matter of time until he signs a deal, but who with remains to be seen.

Jonjo Shelvey (Swansea City) Nike Tiempo Legend V

The new Nike Tiempo Legend V was enough to tempt Jonjo Shelvey out of his custom blackout adidas Predators at the weekend. Shelvey actually switched from his LZ's to the Tiempo during the 1-1 draw against Norwich so it'll be interesting to see what he wears in his next appearance.
