Glory for Chilean boys and American girls at the weekend as they picked up the Copa America and Women's World Cup in dramatic and emphatic styles. As the silverware was lifted we've scoured the globe to pick out the best of the boot spotting on show as attention quickly turns towards the 2015/16 campaign.
What did Carli Lloyd get up to this weekend? Not a lot really, just scoring a hat-trick in the World Cup Final. Not in her wildest dream would she have predicted sealing that hat-trick by scoring from the half way line as USA beat Japan 5-2. For Nike that was one hell of a way to end the tournament, their headline team, headline kit and headline boot. Job done.
England bounced back from semi-final heartache against Japan to end the tournament on a high by beating Germany in the third place play-off. Alex Greenwood was called up by the Lionesses and played her part in the victory wearing latest vibrant offering from the Umbro Velocita.
The Women's World Cup has been the main place to see PUMA's latest updates during the off-season. Germany's Anja Mittag was sporting the "White/Total Eclipse/Lava Blast" evoPOWER 1.2 in Canada ahead of PUMA's pool of male players slipping in to the colourway to kick off the new season next month.
The World University Games are underway in South Korea as universities from all over the world represent their nations across a number of sports. The Brazilian representative side were in action this week with Bruno Lucas offering a throwback to the 2014 World Cup in his home country by wearing the Tricks edition of the PUMA evoPOWER 1.
With Umbro now back in the big time with a top end boot line-up and the coolest collection of football culture replica on the market they've progressed their products rapidly. Peru 'keeper Pedro Gallese offered a glimpse of one of the brand's forgotten boots in the Copa America by lacing up in the discontinued GeoFlare silo. We're assuming he got booked for trying to pleasure himself midway through the semi-final first half against Chile.
Japan failed to replicate their success of 2011 on Sunday as a poor first half showing allowed USA to steam into an early and comfortable lead on their way to a 5-2 World Cup Final win. Rumi Utsugi caught our eye throughout the tournament in Canada wearing a lesser-spotted Under Armour Clutchfit colourway.
Another of the Brazil players in the World University Games whose boots grabbed our attention this week was Monterio Eriveltro wearing the classy "White/Gold" edition of the famed Mizuno Morelia. One of the most comfortable boots ever produced and a popular choice this time of year on the hard pre-season pitches.
Benoît Assou-Ekotto is back in pre-season training with Saint Etienne this week. The ex-Spurs full back, once with Under Armour, was known for his vibrant boot selections during his time at White Hart Lane and the Cameroon squad but now he's gone old school by plucking a pair of 2008 PUMA v1.08 boots out the archive.
David Alaba has given us a sneak preview of the next adidas X15.1 colourway as Bayern Munich returned to training this week. The Austrian defender has opted for the leather versions of the next Solar Blue installment of the silo which is scheduled to drop in time for the new season.
