Boot Wishes for 2022

The end of the year is fast approaching, and we have again had a year of remakes, “fresh” colourways and releases to give almost everyone a choice. We have seen Nike been put on the defensive by adidas with the release of the Speedflow and Puma continue to put pressure on those two with releases […]

A List of Boots That I Could (and maybe Should) Buy Instead of the adiPure Remake

Remember, nothing exists in a vacuum Adidas dropped the gorgeous Legends Pack last week that included a Predator Pulse remake and an adiPure I remake. While the Pulse was never one of my favourite Preds, the adiPure I is one of my favourite adidas boots. I had a pair of the originals in the white/black […]

Adidas X Speedflow.1 Review

Surpassing potential With the release of the X Ghosted last year, adidas put themselves back in competition with Nike in the speed boot race. The CarbiTex soleplate showed that carbon fibre could be effective when used properly. Having gone with a synthetic, adidas tried to push the envelope of what a synthetic could do but […]

Gavic Mathieu Jin Review

Comfort and Grip Gavic is a brand that somewhat exists under the radar, even in Japan. While they have a bigger presence in the futsal side of the game, they still have made a space for themselves in the 11 a side game. The main line for their outdoor boots is the Mathieu series, which […]

Adidas Nemeziz.1 FG Review

Balanced and Interesting After the launch of the first model, the Nemeziz has been somewhat of an all arounder without ever being the most popular of boots. If you asked most people which boot silo adidas should drop, most people would conclude that the Nemeziz should go. And to a point, this is understandable. After […]

In 2019, the company tried its hand at making football boots through a successful fundraising […]

Adler Toledo Review

Comfort and more comfort Adler has a skill for creating comfortable leather boots, but occasionally smaller brands can struggle with consistency. The Toledo is slightly different from the Reggio that I previously reviewed. The Toledo has a cross-stitched forefoot with a thinner leather and a slightly more padded heel. They do use the same soleplate, […]

adidas’ Great yet Baffling Release

A good idea/A bad idea Yesterday saw the release of the first 100% vegan adidas football boot through a collab (supposedly) between Paul Pogba and Stella McCartney. If we want to be diplomatic, the colourway of the boot can be described as polarizing. But while this splits opinion, the boot itself seems like a great […]

ASICS Ultrezza 2 AI Sustainable Review

Tech and support The original Ultrezza was a step in a different direction for ASICS. A tech-heavy boot, that focused more on support was a boon for anybody wanting a more solid boot without compromising on performance. With the release of the second edition of the Ultrezza, ASICS has looked to build on the foundation […]

My love, Derby County

My club This one is going to more personal than other pieces I have written. As some may or may not know. I am a Derby County supporter. I have been supporting the club since 1997. There have been lots of ups and downs, but this is probably one of the scariest times to be […]
