The latest edition of Boot Spotting focuses on professional players making notable changes to their football boots. From a Spanish international leaving Nike for adidas to an Arsenal star training in Puma, here are the standout boot stories from recent matches and training sessions.

Paco Alcácer (Villarreal CF) – adidas X Ghosted.1

Villarreal’s Spanish striker has seemingly switched from his Nike Phantom GT to the adidas X Ghosted.1. He wore the boot from adidas’s Superlative Pack during an official match, strongly suggesting that a new sponsorship deal with the German brand may already be in place.

The Arsenal striker continues to draw attention in the football boot world. Although still under contract with Nike, Lacazette has been seen training in multiple adidas models recently, while still wearing his Nike Mercurial Vapor in official matches. The latest twist: he has now been spotted training in the new Puma Future Z. This raises the question of whether another high-profile player could leave Nike for Puma.

The adidas X Ghosted.1 appears again in this episode, but with a specific observation: in Portugal’s Liga NOS, only two players – Pedro Gonçalves and Pizzi – are currently wearing the latest models from adidas’s new collection. This raises questions about whether the league’s media exposure influences brand visibility, or if other factors are at play.

Palmeiras, the reigning Copa Libertadores champions, are a Puma-sponsored club, yet one player stood out in the final of South America’s biggest tournament. Striker Luiz Adriano wore the new adidas Nemeziz .1 from the Superlative Pack, a significant move for the German brand. It capitalised on the match’s high profile, ensuring one of Brazil’s key players donned their latest boot model at the biggest moment.
