Boot Spotting #9: Player Boot Choices in La Liga, Ligue 1, and the Premier League
This edition of Boot Spotting highlights four standout players who made notable footwear decisions in recent matches. From Emerson Royal’s switch to a turf
This edition of Boot Spotting highlights four standout players who made notable footwear decisions in recent matches. From Emerson Royal’s switch to a turf-specific model for a tricky pitch to Neymar’s much-anticipated move to a new Puma silo, here are the boots that caught our eye.
Emerson Royal and the Turf Advantage
Emerson Royal, a Brazilian full‑back for Real Betis, is often seen in Nike Mercurial Superfly VII boots. During a Copa del Rey fixture against a Segunda División B side, the pitch was heavily worn artificial turf. While many teammates stuck with their usual footwear, Emerson opted for the Dream Speed edition of the Nike Mercurial Vapor Pro Turf – a boot far better suited to the surface. He then capped the performance with a superb goal, making the choice even more memorable.
Neymar Joins the Puma Future Z Range
After weeks of speculation and a prominent initial marketing push featuring the Puma King, Neymar has officially switched to the new Puma Future Z boot. The Brazilian star appears to have been involved in the design process, having worn a blacked‑out prototype during several Paris Saint‑Germain training sessions. That unfinished version will be examined in more detail soon.
Ederson Mixes Brands Ahead of Likely Puma Deal
Manchester City’s Ederson has rotated through various goalkeeper gloves and boots in recent weeks. Rumours suggest Nike will not renew his contract, and the Brazilian international has been spotted pairing adidas and Puma items in both training and matches. Most frequently, he wears Puma Ultra boots with gloves from the same range, signalling that a sponsorship agreement with the German brand may be close. If completed, Nike would lose another top‑level athlete to a key rival.
Kylian Mbappé’s Limited‑Edition Mercurial Superfly “Chosen 2”
Despite persistent rumours of an all‑new Nike Mercurial arriving soon, Mbappé’s current limited‑edition release remains a rare find. The “Chosen 2” boot, a collaboration with LeBron James, combines elegant design with top‑tier performance. It is the third exclusive model the French forward has received in his still‑short professional career.
