Legends matches provide a rare, unfiltered look at the boot choices of retired footballers, free from brand contracts and commercial pressure. The recent Real Madrid vs Ajax Legends Classic Match highlighted these personal preferences, which can be grouped into three distinct categories: players who stick with their favourite models, those who always choose leather, and those who wear whatever is handed to them.
The Ones Who Keep Their Boots
Santiago Solari – adidas Predator Powerswerve and F50 Spyder
During his time at Real Madrid, Solari used the Predator boot before switching to the F50 line when it launched. In both photos, he clearly holds great admiration for both models.
Emilio Butragueño – Joma Águila
Every time “El Buitre” takes the field, he wears Joma Águila or Toledo – classic black leather boots with a traditional tongue design. One of the most classic boots in the game.
Luís Figo – Nike Total 90 Laser III and IV
The Portuguese winger wore the Total 90 model for nearly his entire career, from the launch of the Air Zoom Total 90 in 2000 until his retirement.
Those Who Will Always Wear Leather
Fernando Redondo – adidas Copa Mundial
It may not surprise many that Redondo played almost his entire career in leather boots, most notably the Copa Mundial.
Clarence Seedorf – adidas Adipure IV
Seedorf has worn the Adipure line ever since it debuted and clearly likes it – he still wears the white model from his AC Milan days in 2011.
Steve McManaman – adidas Copa Mundial
Another player who chooses the Copa once his brand contract ends. This boot model has remained virtually unchanged for decades.
Those Who Play With Whatever Is Given to Them
Michel Salgado – adidas X15.1 / NitroCharge 1.0 / Adipure Crazylight
After wearing Umbro for most of his career, Salgado seems indifferent to boot choice – he appears in a different model at nearly every match.
Roberto Carlos – Umbro, Nike, Mizuno, adidas
The Brazilian has been seen wearing Umbro, Nike, Mizuno, and adidas throughout his career. It seems the boot brand made no difference to his trademark 100 km/h shots.
Raúl – adidas ACE 15.1 Primeknit / Predator Mania / Predator Lethal Zones
The eternal captain has worn leather Predator models, synthetic versions, and most recently surprised observers by wearing the adidas ACE Primeknit.
