With all this innovative technology packed into a soccer cleat weighing a mere 185g, it is no wonder a host of players including Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Luis Fabiano and Franck Ribery are all clambering for a pair of Nike Vapor Superfly soccer cleat.

Ultimately designed for speed, the Nike Mercurial Vapor V soccer cleat have a sleek aerodynamic design and are lightweight at just 230g. Which becomes noticeable once you try them on, as you really do have to remind yourself you are wearing a pair of soccer cleat!

Power Soccer Cleat - Nike T90 Laser II Orange Blaze/Black

This is the most stunning Nike Laser colourway to be released for a long time, and has been an instant hit with the players. We've already seen Fernando Torres, Sergio Ramos and Fabio Cannavaro sporting the new orange blaze colourway, and it should be exciting to see who else will turn out wearing them.

The unique new colourway features on the synthetic upper, and incorporates Nike's new perforated technology. Combined with the waterproof eVent material which draws sweat away from the foot, the holes in the upper allow air to be channelled to-and-from the feet, to regulate temperature and freshness.

Fernando Torres proved how lethal these soccer cleat can be, and the Nike Total 90 Laser soccer cleat are a popular choice amongst strikers and can also boast Wayne Rooney, Klaas Jan-Huntelaar and Robbie Keane as wearers. All taking advantage of the ShotShield technology, engineered for a unique boot-to-ball contact to create enhanced ball swerve and accuracy, whilst the meshing ensures the ShotShield doesn't detract from ball feel.

These popular and in-demand orange blaze Nike T90 Laser II soccer cleat are due for a 1st August release, however they can be pre-ordered from 1st July, but we're guessing there's going to be quite a queue for these soccer cleat so make sure you're at the front!

Raul has become Real Madrid's all-time leading goalscorer, and has done so wearing adidas Predator soccer cleat. Therefore, it makes sense that the striker would be one of the players selected by adidas to test out their brand new Predator soccer cleat.

So, when our keen boot spotters grabbed the legend for a few questions, the first question had to be 'are you wearing the new adidas Predator soccer cleat?'

But Raul being a true professional would neither confirm nor deny our query, instead he told us he was testing a new pair of soccer cleat and that they were very comfortable! Which when you consider was coming after a two hour training session, looks good for the new adidas Predator soccer cleat.

The new adidas Predator X soccer claet will be the tenth incarnation of one of the most successful and innovative football boots ever created. And all soccer cleat fans are eager to see what new technology adidas will incorporate into their new Predator soccer cleat to generate more power, more swerve and more accuracy.
