Adidas Profi Ligas

Quality boots only ever intended for the U.S market, which is a pity really as UK fans and players would certainly wear these. Classic boots now on there third general release. Originally released in black, then very dark blue and then in the following colourways, some being very daring which is unusual as Adidas is usually very conservative.

Great boots, nice simply design with big fold over tongue that probably adds nothing to your game but every player likes ( not sure why!! ).

White/Blue - very similar to Adipures, but better looking, no blades here, moulded studs better in every way.

Blue/White very distinctive colourway, very popular, again similar to Adipures and I would suggest that these may have been the inspiration for the Adipures.

Gold/White - surely one for the showboaters only!!! Most people are conservative in respect of their boot colours. Some players only wear black but certainly younger players inspired by some truely shocking coloured boots in the Premiership ( lime green, orange, yellow ) love these boots because they are dazzling. You will certainly stand out for sure in them, just hope you have the skills to match!!!

Adidas World Cup 1966 - Limited Edition

Probably the best boot on the market at the moment, both in terms in looks and appeal. Its a classic retro design with premuim leather and light weight feel, based on the boots worn by three quarters of the players in the World Cup of 1966. Worn by CHARLTON, STILES and hat-trick hero Geoff HURST and a very young Franz BECKENBAUER.

At the time the heel tab was viewed as a 'break-through' in boot design and these mark the occasion with having '66' stitched on them in gold thread. very similar to Copa Mundials which although are deservedly regarded as being 'iconic', they are a little on the common side, mainly due to the fact they are just so good.

No fins, no gimmicks, no fuss - simple boot, very lightweight and nicely packaged - some customers have stated just to nice to play in!!!!

KAISERBOOT price - £99.99 + postage and packing.

Limited Release - once they have gone, they have gone

Classic Boots No 1. - Puma King.

Any boot that is good enough for MARADONA, CRUYFF and of course PELE has to be deemed a classic and it can be no co-incidence that the three recognised greatest footballers of all time wore the same footwear. The PUMA KING was worn by PELE in the demolition of ITALY in the World Cup of 1970, by CRUYFF four years later in Germany 1974 and by MARADONA as he danced through the opposition of Mexico 1986.

.

I am sure that all three individuals would have had the pick of any boots to be worn even in an age before out and out overt sponsor-ship. Despite both Adidas and Puma wanting Pele in 1970, rather than have a bidding war, both firms agreed to let the player decide. The rest is history.

.

MARADONA was scouted by PUMA from an early age and despite a car crash of an ending to his career, his outstanding goals against England and Belgium were scored wearing Puma Kings.

.

The Puma King still goes strong today and shows that despite technological advances in footwear simple clean lines, soft supple leather and classic looks still have a place in the modern game.

.

Despite other manufacturers kicking the backside out of player endorsments PUMA thankfully have shown some reserve despite the big names attached to the boot. The picture above shows a very limited edition PUMA PELE KING which is a recent tribute to the boot from 1970. Its a genuine classic worthy of been worn by the best.
