The next pair of shoes from the Nike FC247 collection we managed to get our hands on is the Nike Elastico Pro II and they have heavily impressed in the few opportunities I have had to wear them so far. So much so, that I’ve actually taken to wearing them around …

Since we announced the release of the new Nike Premier last week, there has been huge buzz and a lot of questions surrounding the low-key, conservative boot. It all stands to reinforce the fact that Nike were correct in releasing a boot that directly competes with the iconic Adidas Copa …

With the release of the Adidas Nitrocharge 1.0, we were introduced to a boot that has been tailored to a very specific player – the Engine. This is the first time we have seen Adidas take this approach, although it is not something that is new to the market. All …

We managed to get our hands on one of Nike’s latest turf specific shoes this week, and although they are not the top tier release (that goes to the Bomba Finale II) these boots have a lot to offer. In fact, these shoes sit at a much more attainable price-point …

I have often asked the question “how light is too light?”. Well, Adidas are set to blow our minds with a boot that weighs about a full ounce lighter than the lightest boot currently on the market. Let me put that into perspective. The lightest boot currently released on the …

The Adidas Nitrocharge 1.0 is the first boot that caters specifically to the “Engine”, a player that Opta helped Adidas define through extensive research.
