Global Boot Spotting - 20/07/2015 : Boot Spotting : Soccer Bible

It's Monday, it's boot-spotting. Get stuck in as we bring you our selection of the best boots on show from planet football.

The countdown to the new season continues as Europe's elite set sail for extravagant tours across the world. From Singapore to Stevenage we've picked out the best of the boots spotting action from another busy week of friendly and competitive action.

Dipo Akinyemi (Stevenage) Nike Mercurial Superfly IV

Stevenage hosted Nottingham Forest at the weekend as Football League clubs upped their pre-season preparations. The home side's Dipo Akinyemi supplied the pick of the boot spotting action lacing up in a custom pair of NikeiD Mercurial Superfly IV boots. Akinyemi opted for an all black upper with a red graphic effect on the Swooshes.

Billy McKay (Wigan) adidas Predator Instinct

When the news broke that adidas would be revamping their entire football footwear line a lot of players were sparked into stocking up on the famous Predator model. The Instinct will forever be remembered as the last ever Predator and the white/black/red drop was one that players including Billy McKay were quick to snap up.

Maya Yoshida (Southampton) Mizuno Wave Ignitus 3

Southampton defender Maya Yoshida switched into the latest "White/GreenBlack" edition of the Mizuno Wave Ignitus 3 at the weekend. The Japanese centre back has stayed loyal to his roots by wearing the brand from his homeland throughout his time in England.

Malcom (Corinthians) Nike Hypervenom Phantom II

There's very few things in life that we love more than Brazilian's with British sounding names. Fred, Nathan, Jo, Douglas, Cris, Alan and now our new favourite Malcom of Corinithians. Sounds more like a middle aged British man's snooker team than a football team. Good old Malc was happy at the weekend after notching in his Nike Hypervenom Phantom II boots against Atletico MG.

Desiree Scott (Notts County) Nike Tiempo Legend V

Notts County's Desiree Scott has been busy designing her own footwear this season with a custom NikeiD edition of the Tiempo series. Pairing up a predominately red upper with Nike's trademark 'Volt' colourway has produced a standout look on pitch.

Pepe (Real Madrid) Umbro Speciali Eternal

If you've bagged yourself a copy of SoccerBible Magazine Issue 3 you'll already know about the love story between Pepe and Umbro. The Speciali Eternal is based on Pepe's first ever Umbro football boot he worked so hard for as a kid, complete with fold over tongue and now he's lacing them up again as a Champions League winning Real Madrid player.

Paul Caddis (Birmingham City) adidas Gloro

The adidas Gloro silo dropped in last season in a bid to replace the adiPURE/11Pro series and despite a very minimal uptake by professional players has been a hit with semi-pro and amateur players alike due to it's simplistic design, elasticated tongue and sensible price tag. Birmingham's Paul Caddis has deemed them fit for the top though as he wore the black/white pair against Nuneaton Town at the weekend.

Kolo Toure (Liverpool) New Balance Visaro

Kolo Toure has made the switch from Warrior to New Balance and was in action on Liverpool's pre-season tour of Australia wearing the Visaro silo against Brisbane Roar. The 2-1 victory for the Reds was also a first outing for Liverpool's new all white 2015/16 New Balance away strip.

Milos Degenek (1860 Munich) Mizuno Morelia Neo

Mizuno have been quietly going about their business in the off season with a few colour ups to their Morelia Neo and Wave Ignitus III silos but it was the yellow/black editions released towards the end of last season that took Milos Degenek's fancy this week as his 1860 Munich took on Swansea City in Germany.

Derlis Alegre (Paraguay) Nike Hypervenom Phantom II

It was only a matter of time until a male player was tempted into the Nike Women's World Cup Pack. The collection is a beaut and with a unisex design offers another alternative colourway on the silos, which Derlis Alegre has taken full advantage of by slipping into the Hypervenom Phantom II, a boot worn by a number of top female players in Canada this summer.

Jérémy Toulalan (Monaco) adidas ACE 15.1

Jérémy Toulalan's still only 31? He's looked 35 for his entire career. Back on subject and the Monaco midfielder was wearing the leather version of the black adidas ACE 15.1 boot this week, a boot that was released as adidas softened the blow on their complete football revolution and a boot that they've tried to keep away from their professional players, although that's proved difficult with such an on point heritage design.

Antonee Robinson (Everton) Nike Mercurial Superfly IV

Youngster Antonee Robinson has flown out to Singapore for Everton's pre-season tour and although his game time has been restricted his experience on tour with the first team is priceless. It just so happens he's packed his case with the hottest pair of custom boots on the plane out of Liverpool with an all blue Nike Mercurial Superfly IV.
