Global Boot Spotting - 18/04/2016 : Boot Spotting : Soccer Bible

Title twists and turns, European euphoria and relegation realisation. We look back on a packed week of rollercoaster football to pick out a selection of the most distinctive boots on show.

Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid) Puma evoSPEED 1.4

Antoine Griezmann prematurely unveiled PUMA's EURO 2016 Tricks evoSPEED at the weekend as Atletico Madrid closed in on La Liga leaders Barcelona with a 3-0 win over Granda. In trademark PUMA fashion, the brand will stick with their unique split design for their players to wear throughout the tournament in France & the Copa America.

Robinho (Atletico Miniero) Nike Hypervenom Phinish II

Robinho is now plying his trade in his home country for Atletico Miniero, which spell check is desperately trying to change to Atletico Milner. As much as a team of sideways passing makeshift hard-working right backs would be reliable, it just ain't the Brazilian way is it? Back on track and Robinho has worn Nike throughout his career but now he's the wrong side of 30 his days with the Swoosh look to be over as he sports an entirely blacked out Hypervenom.

Romulo (Spartak Moscow) Nike Magista Obra

One of the hottest custom colourways on show this week was on the feet of Spartak Moscow's Romulo. Matching up his Magista Obra boots with the colours of his club's kit, it was a tidy all round red, black and white combination by the Brazilian defender.

Kaka (Orlando City) Mizuno Morelia Neo

One of the most high profile footballers in Major League Soccer is still wearing blacked out football boots. The glamour signing of Kaka for Orlando City should be an easy win for brand to get eyes on their product but after beginning life in America wearing a blacked out adidas Copa Mundial, Kaka is now sporting a disguised Mizuno Morelia Neo.

Vincent Kompany (Manchester City) adidas ACE 16.1

Vincent Kompany returned to training this week wearing a pair of adidas ACE 16.1 boots with the Three Stripes disguised. The Manchester City defender has been the face of the New Balance Visaro but his latest move may signal the end of that current contract. Either way, New Balance will be keen to get things resolved ahead of Manchester City's Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid.

Tobin Heath (USA) Nike Mercurial Vapor X

Tobin Heath helped herself to a goal as the USA Women hammered Colombia 7-0 last week. Laced up in the 'Radiant Reveal' Nike Mercurial Vapor X, Heath and her teammates ran riot for the second game running, after previously beating the Colombians 3-0 the week before. Ruthless.

Yuki Abe (Urawa Red Diamonds) Mizuno Wave Ignitus IV

Yuki Abe was wearing tidy rendition of the Mizuno Wave Ignitus 4 this week in a black, red and white colourway. That trio of colours never fails to disappoint on any football boot and the fact that it matched up with Abe's Urawa Red Diamonds was the icing on the stylish cake.

Alice Parisi (Italy) Nike T90 Laser IV

Alice Parisi took things back to 2011 this week by lacing up in the famed Nike T90 series. Wearing the fourth-generation of the Laser boot, Parisi was in action for Italy Women as they beat Northern Ireland 3-1 in a EURO 2017 qualifier. A boot well missed, it's fair to say.

Diego Oliveira (Kashiwa Reysol) Nike Mercurial Superfly CR7 Quinhentos

The Nike Mercurial Superfly CR7 Quinhentos was revealed in October last year to celebrate Cristiano Ronaldo's 500th career goal. Based on a favourite of Ronaldo's Mercurial designs (the Vapor III) the boot was a limited edition release and was picked up by Kashiwa Reysol's Diego Oliveira.

Shusaku Nishikawa (Urawa Red Diamonds) Nike Tiempo Legend 6

Another Urawa Red Diamonds player to catch the eye last week was Shusaku Nishikawa. The goalkeeper has been busy creating his own custom edition of the Nike Timpeo Legend 6 by plastering a bright yellow, red and blue combination on the upper for more of a personal touch.
