Everything Else

In traditional fashion, the English Premier League PFA awards were handed out this weekend, right as the league season starts to wrap up. It might seem odd to name the team and player of the year before the season actually ends, but at this stage the appropriate players are being …

We are back with another edition of our “If Ray Hudson Reviewed Boots” series, this time the focus is on one Cristiano Ronaldo and his personalized Nike Vapor IX. Is there a more entertaining commentator than Ray Hudson anywhere out there? When it comes to off the cuff punditry, I …

The strange, the odd, the curious…… Every so often, we will be treated to a boot that offers a new look to the market. And then there are boots that make us do a double look and take at least 5 minutes to really get our heads around. This list …

Here is a pretty important topic that I’m very eager to get reader feedback on. In your opinion, what do you think of the dramatic shift we are currently seeing toward lightweight boots? It seems that every company is focusing on releasing lighter and lighter boots – and I’m not …

Remember those Custom Balotelli boots we brought you last week? Well, the artist known as MrDheo also has a custom pair he designed for Arsenal’s Emmanuel Frimpong. The look is extremely different, but I dig these a lot. For this one, Mr. Dheo took a pair of Puma evoSPEED’s and …

Is there a soccer fan who doesn’t love hearing Ray Hudson commentate on games? I know I personally enjoy the whimsical and often theatrical punditry from the Englishman and it got me thinking – what would Ray Hudson sound like if he started reviewing boots during games? Kicking things off, …

No seriously – did you actually see the US national team game vs Costa Rica because I had an extremely tough time making it out on TV! Seriously, that was one of the CRAZIEST 90 minutes of soccer I have ever seen, simply because of the snow and the conditions. …

Guys – I will be hosting a live Google Hangout tonight at 6pm PST with Ben from theoriginalwinger, presented by the Denver Post and Google+. The topic of conversation is going to surround the USMNT and their opcoming games. We are going to tackle the subject of boots and gear, …

Here is a boot that has been in my presence for a while now without getting the on-field time they deserve – the Hummel Old School Star. Yes, my bad on not getting a full review but these Classic, Heritage, Old School boots deserve some quality time in testing, something …

We are currently living in a world where flashy, vibrant colored boots are all the rage – or at least that is what we are lead to believe. As companies compete with each other, they are using the most outrageous colors to set themselves apart and make their boots more …

When I was playing at college and the professional level, there was one thing I always had on game day- my iPod. Whether it was simply the morning of the game at my apartment or a long bus trip, you could be sure that I was tuned into my music …
