    World Cup - Orange/Silver Nike Boots?

    What is with these orange heeled boots that almost every player is wearing.

    Have Nike got some sort of promotional sponsership rights for the whole tournament or something. I can't ever remember seeing so many players from different teams wear the same boots - they look rank as well

    Think they are the latest boot to come out, the first with new moveable stud technology. There was a bit about them in FourFourTwo a couple of issues ago.

    "Moveable stud technology" - that sounds literally the most useless technological advance unless you intend on doing some Travolta-esque boogying in your football boots.

    Any player that isn't a) very good and b) either a winger or striker and wears these (or any other) daft multi-coloured efforts should be slapped about a bit then put into a pair of good Puma Kings, Adidas World Cups or similar.

    If they want to be prancing footwear models, then a change of career is the way to go IMO.

    "They look rank" all right. That means they are a must-have item! Parents the world over will be shelling out soon if not already.

    Not sure if the Italian team socks are must-have. They look like someone has trailed a white paintbrush over them.
