i suppose this means that all united academy kids wear tiempos (the only nike boot without blades, unless they wear metal.... or get custom soleplates haha).
In a national survey of seven-to-12-year-olds, 74 per cent of young players revealed they wore non-black boots to play football.
meanwhile, here's the new edition of the CR7 safari (i doubt cristiano wore the cookies and cream SFIII for even 10 games before switching to the newer colorways, so these will probably be disco'd right after the UCL final if RM beats barca)....

Arsenal have released a new kit which is made of up to 13 reclaimed plastic water bottles.
The kit has been produced to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the club's foundation.
The new home shirt features a bespoke crest. The 15 laurel leaves to its left correspond to the detail on the reverse side of the six-pence pieces paid by 15 men to establish the club in Woolwich back in 1886.
The 15 oak leaves to the right acknowledge the founders, who met in the local Royal Oak pub.
Underneath is one of the first recorded mottos related to the armament and battle - 'Forward' - with the anniversary dates of 1886 and 2011 on either side.
On the back of the shirt below the neck it says 'Arsenal', while on the inside - the back of the crest - you can read the words 'Victoria Concordia Crescit' ('Victory Through Harmony'), Arsenal's Latin motto which featured on earlier versions of their club crest between 1949 and 2002.
The garments are made from Nike's unique recycled polyester. Each complete kit is made of up to 13 reclaimed plastic water bottles and is 13 per cent lighter than previous kits, which Nike says "helps to quickly evaporate moisture by drawing through the fabric to the surface and keep players dry".
The sportswear giant uses discarded water bottles destined for landfill sites in Japan and Taiwan where they can take up to 500 years to decompose.
The bottles are placed in a large washing machine to clean them and get rid of labels before they are chopped into tiny flakes and melted down into a yarn that is ultimately spun to make the fabric for the jerseys.
Reports that Arsene Wenger personally tests the quality of each water bottle used by angrily kicking them on the sideline have been denied by the club.
