Ok, so his debut might not have been “perfect”, but Robbie Keane did score the winning goal in his first first MLS goal for the LA Galaxy. I have to be honest and say I am not an avid Galaxy fan, but being Irish, I am a huge Robbie Keane fan and was excited to see him score the winner tonight.

Keane wore his trusted Nike T90 Laser III in his debut, and continued to wear the Metallic Blue colorway, like he did during preseason at Spurs. The T90 range is designed for power, and having tested both the regular and Elite version, I can confirm that they serve their intended purpose! The addition of five ‘pods’ that sit right along the strike zone help even out pressure distribution on ball contact. Added to that are the Engineered Microfins, that are designed to deliver an increased level of friction when you contact the ball to create more swerve.

I actually met up with Robbie at his press conference/introduction on Friday and had the opportunity to snap the first Irish x Irish picture, as per the image below. I do expect/hope to get a one-on-one chat in the next few weeks, to discuss footwear and maybe even some details on the upcoming T90 Laser IV release. Stay tuned for more details!

Robbie Keane in Nike Total 90 Laser II Celebrating

After our recent article discussing Robbie Keane’s move back to Tottenham Hotspurs, he had Irish eyes smiling by scoring two goals in a key World Cup Qualifier. After going 1-0 down to Georgia in the first minute of the game, Ireland left the goals until late on, with Keane bagging both. His first was came from the penalty spot, after the referee gave a dodgy penalty with only 15 minutes left. His second was a diving header five minutes later. Ireland who have a reputation for conceding late goals held on for a victory that sees them draw level with group leaders Italy.

Robbie Keane returns to Spurs

Following in the footsteps of Jermain Defoe and Pascal Chimbonda, Robbie Keane made his second debut for Totthenham Hotspurs. And although it did not have a fairytale ending , Spurs still claimed a point against local rivals Arsenal and the Spurs fans will no doubt have been happy to see Keano’s return! It has been a topsy turvy year for the Irish man that saw him move from White Heart lane to the team he followed as a kid, Liverpool. After winning the Carling Cup with spurs, it seemed like the next best step. But, as it turns out, captaining a very talented Spurs team is where he belongs!

Keane wears the Nike Total90 Laser II FG – White/Black/Blue Sapphire. These cleats are designed for those looking for stability, fit, traction ball control and shooting accuracy. Featuring innovative ShotShield technology, which enables a covered lacing system, increases ball control. The Laser II range varies in price from $150 to $200. Keane has worn Nike cleats since he was playing at Wolves, and recently stated that the Total90 Laser II were the most comfortable cleats he has worn. An alternative to these cleats is the little more affordable Nike Total90 Strike II FG – White/Black/Blue Sapphire. The Strike II is priced under $100. The main difference between the cleats is the leather used, and the weight difference. In fact, the Strike II cleats are lighter! Overall, you are not losing too much quality with the Strike II. In terms of looks, the cleats are very similar. The Strike two colorway is a little darker, but not that much more noticable.
