It has been a week since the 2016 Euro ad during this short period of time we already have some very interesting news for football boots enthusiasts. We present you our Top 5 surprises of the 2016 Euro.
Jordi Alba adidas ACE
The left back playing for Spain´s National Team has been an X player since 2015 when the first adidas X15.1 model was launched. However during this week, we have caught him wearing the leather version of the ACE16.1 model in the match against the Czech Republic. A much more classic boot than the X line or the adizero, which he used to wear in the past.
Zlatan Ibrahimovich adidas X16
The greatest surprise in the list has been Zlatan Ibrahimovic. After 15 years scoring outstanding goals wearing the Nike Mercurial Vapor, it seems like Zlatan is tired of them and has decided to switch sides. Will this be due to his probable signing with Manchester United? All we know so far is that he has been training with the new adidas X16.1
Kingsley Coman Mercurial Superfly IV 1998
Here is my favourite one. Kingsley Coman has decided that instead of using the new Mercurial Superfly V he will wear the 1998 version of the Nike Superfly IV during the Euro. The 98 Mercurial became popular due to Ronaldo Nazario wearing them during the World Cup played in France. However they did not seem to be his lucky charm because Brazil lost in the final against France.
Inglaterra Nike Custom
Several players of England´s National Team played the match against Russia with personalized boot models instead of wearing the Spark Brilliance Pack. Specifically the Mercurial Vapor and Mercurial Superfly models, both of them had the same red colour of the football socks worn by the National Team.
Buffon Puma Tricks
We finish the list with one of the best goalkeepers in football history. Buffon is playing in the Euro Cup for the fourth time and once you get to his level you can pretty much do anything you want. Buffon is a veteran player and it seems like the modern Puma Tricks look on two different colours is too much for him, so he has decided that both his boots must be of the same colour.
