You might have noticed I tend to post plenty of pictures of the boot wall in my office on social media. Not surprisingly, they tend to be some of the more popular pics with followers. As a result I also get a lot of questions that go along with them, …

The release of the “Future DNA Mercurial” got me thinking about the Nike Mercurial Vapor V colorway that they were based off of. So, I did a little searching and managed to pick up a brand new pair of the original Risk Red’s! I won’t tell you how much I …

The below advertisement was posted in the April 20th 1983 edition of MATCH magazine. In an effort to ensure these types of advertising are not lost to time, we are going to run a series of articles to archive them. We hope that is serves as a perfect way to …

Since I moved to Japan earlier this year I have learned a lot more about the Japanese football market. Before my move, I knew some of the boots big brands made specifically for the Japanese market. But since then I have found out about a lot more boots that are …

With so much talk focused on Predator remakes this past week, it only makes sense to have a throwback and revisit a classic that we picked up recently. Released in 2009, the adidas Predator PowerSwerve Rome celebrated that season’s Champions League final that took place in Rome. At the time …

A brand we don’t get to feature on here very much these days is Hummel. And there is a story behind why. As part of our Cleatology series, we take a look back at the Hummel Professional, a boot that came out way back in early 2004 as part of Hummel’s …

With the upcoming release of the Tiempo Legend “Touch Of Gold”, we wanted to take a look back at the Nike Air Legend Tiempo released in 2005 via “Crossbar,” the first YouTube video to garner a million views. The original version offered an unmistakable look, with an all-white upper and exquisite golden …

We love the innovation process of a boot release, when the designers are coming up with prototypes and ideas as they look to create the perfect boot. Last year, we were offered an up close look at the Nike Magista Obra Prototype story, with images of the boots in play. …

Going back to 2009 we have here the Puma v1.08 Tricks. Adidas, Nike and Puma were well into the speed boot race in 2008 when the v1.08 was unleashed. Adidas had the interchangeable and customizable f50.8, Nike had the lightest boot at the time in the form of the Vapor IV (7.4 oz) …

What better way to celebrate a Thursday than to take a trip down memory lane with this 90s inspired boot that you won’t find in too many spots anymore. In fact, these is not a great deal of info available on these boots anywhere! They are the Diadora Mondiale SC, …

Every now and again a boot will come in and through a combination of different circumstances (time of year, releases with deadlines, and so on), you can’t get a proper review in.  This unfortunately happened with Joma’s now no longer produced Granada Pulsor FG. The Spanish manufacturer released the Granada Pulsor …

A boot that hasn’t received much attention other than a World Cup upgrade of late is the Nike Premier. Given the fact it performs so well and offers one of the best economical options on the market, it makes you wonder why that is. It is the type of boot …
