It isn’t often that when I first encounter a boot I know how they are going to go over with me down the line. The Nike Victory IV and past versions of the Victory have been a staple boot for the recreation, youth and players on a budget for as long …

When Nike decide it is time to release a new personalized boot for Cristiano Ronaldo, fans sit up and eagerly anticipate the new design. Sometimes the resulting boot is applauding but more often, it seems, there is a complete mixed bag of emotions that shoot out in both directions. This …

Shortly after being introduced to the Nike 2013 Spring Collection, we have been treated to a new extremely clean looking version of the Nike CTR360 Maestri III. This is the type of release I would expect a snow leopard to be wearing with gusto, although I would anticipate the shot …

For those that don’t have the luxury of splurging on the top market releases, the performance of second tier options becomes extremely important. Nike are well aware of that and the Vapor’s little brother has continually been recognized as one of the best back-up releases on the market. You might …

In the beginning (ie. the start of 2013) there was a player who received a personalized pair of boots, which were shared with few. His name was Cristiano Ronaldo and he scored goals. In the future (ie. this week) there is a player who receives a new personalized pair of boots, …

It has been over 3 months since we have seen a release in the Nike Tiempo IV series but finally Nike has updated things with this release as part of their Spring 13 collection. I think we were all starting to wonder if the Tiempo IV range had seen its …

Continuing in the line of Nike’s Spring 2013 releases is this back to basics colorway in the CTR360 Maestri III range. By back to basics, I am referring to the fact that this Mint/Black/Lime colorway is fresh enough to suit any fresh pitch as you head into summer. We haven’t …

I’m starting to like the direction Nike has headed with the T90 Laser IV range. Rather than the actual colorway employed, it has far more to do with keeping things monotone on the upper. Choosing to keep the two tones used on the upper provides a much cleaner all around …

It is now funny to imagine that on release, the Nike Vapor IX got such a mixed reaction yet they have easily integrated onto pitches right around the country. Imagine that we actually questioned that unmistakable dimpled look! This latest colorway is extremely bold and fits the mold of a …

The Ctr360 Maestri III is one of the most popular boots on the market right now. Adidas’ Predator LZ is a close competitor but Nike have been in the control boot game much longer than adidas so there is ground that needs to be made up between the two companies. …

FC247Nike is back with a whole new range of football performance and street footwear geared for the variety of surfaces on which the game is played, each with design innovations specific to respective playing style. There are three new shoes in the line-up – the Nike Bomba Finale II, Nike …

The Bomba has been Nike’s staple turf silo for quite some time now. Having tested out the Bomba finale and now the Bomba Pro, I can say that their turf specific silo out performs pretty much every other turf cleat on the market. They are almost a power, control and agility …

Is there a bigger release in the boot world than when Nike announce they are releasing a new Vapor? Again the hype surrounding this latest 9th installment, or the Mercurial Vapor IX, caused a frenzy of action online and not even the wildly colorful debut releases deferred attention away. And with the likes of CR7, Ibrahimovich and Theo Walcott, attention has been fully focused on the new release. I've had a pair for the past few weeks and have been putting them through their paces to see just how much difference there is with the new dimpled synthetic upper! This Fireberry colorway, plus the Sunset, are currently available to buy at WeGotSoccer.

Seems like buying a pair of limited edition Nike CR7 Mercurial Vapor IX is going to prove a little more difficult than we expected! The two main US sites to buy from, Soccer.com and WorldSoccerShop.com, are going to have 25 of the 100 pairs between them…….20 (5 pairs each of …
