Nike Phantom GT
We’ll start with the boots worn by Cruz Azul’s Uruguayan striker, none other than Cabecita Rodríguez. The speedy forward, who has been scoring plenty of goals this year, uses his signature touch to score his goals.
A pair of boots that perfectly suit his personality: quick, with good grip and a brilliant touch, confirming him as one of the in-form strikers in Liga MX. We’ve seen him wearing the Nike Phantom Venom football boots – an older model, but we’re sure we’ll soon see him in the GTs. Will we continue to see the Uruguayan at Cruz Azul?
Nike Mercurial Vapor
Other boots that are being worn by many strikers, and particularly by the fastest players in the whole tournament. Joel Campbell’s boots – he seems to have found a new lease of life at León – look set to feature in the final.
The new Vapor boots seem to be the perfect fit for the fastest strikers, with their all-Flyknit construction and one of the best traction soles around. Brian Lozano, Memo Ochoa and many more players are joining Campbell in wearing what are currently some of the best Nike football boots available.
Nike Tiempo
It isn’t exactly a mass-market model, but it is the one worn by perhaps the best goalkeeper in the 2020 Guardians tournament, the Argentine Nahuel Guzmán.
Like so many others, the goalkeeper wears the American brand’s classic model: excellent grip, comfort and, above all, that special Tiempo touch. We see it on the feet of one of the players in the best form. It isn’t one of the most modern football boots, but whenever we look at any tournament, we find that special player who opts for a classic, and on this occasion, we couldn’t let it pass us by.
adidas Predator
Available in different versions and colours, but there’s always a Predator boot to be found in every top league. This time, as well as being worn by many players, they’re particularly prominent in Guido Rodríguez’s game; the Argentine is putting in a superb performance throughout the tournament.
A boot featuring the well-known ‘Predator element’ – spikes that allow you to play those curling passes that all midfielders love so much. A safe bet.
adidas Copa 20.1
And we’ll finish with a look at some of today’s most classic boots, which are also the go-to choice for many defenders and midfielders thanks to their comfort and genuine leather.
In this case, Luis Romo embodies them perfectly – the midfielder who, in this latest Guardianes tournament, has been the talk of the town thanks to his performances in his adidas football boots.
These are some of the standout boots in the Liga MX; that said, we mustn’t forget to give a special mention to Charly boots, a brand that, with Gignac and ‘Chapo’ Montes in its ranks, always features on every front page.
