2015-16 Champions League Matchday 2 Boot Preview
It's getting crucial for Adidas, Nike and Puma. Matchday 2 of the 2015-16 UEFA Champions League comes around with 16 matches from Europe's biggest stage. To stand out on the pitch, the three big brands launched their all-new boot packs in the past 10 days.
While Adidas dominates the 2015-16 UEFA Champions League Kit Battle supplying the kits for 14 teams, more than half of the players of the Champions League wear Nike Football Boots.
Adidas, Nike and Puma's New Boots For Fall 2015
This is the striking Nike Electro Flare Boots Collection.
Last week, Nike released the all-new Nike Electro Flare Football Boots. Introducing stunning color-shifting uppers with a striking Volt splatter graphic pattern, the Nike Electro Flare Soccer Cleats Collection is more than a standard colorway pack.
The Nike Hypervenom, Magista, Mercurial and Tiempo Boots were already debuted last weekend and proved to be popular amongst fans and players. However, the new Nike Boots aren't the most eye-catching boots on the pitch, compared to what Adidas and especially Puma have launched in time tonight's and tomorrow's clashes.
Adidas revealed the first-ever knitted versions of the Adidas Ace and Adidas X Boots on Monday, set to be debuted by all players who prefer the new boots over the synthetic versions.
After almost all Adidas athletes laced up in the Solar Yellow Adidas Ace and Adidas X Launch Colorway since the 2015 Champions League Final, the Solar Red Adidas Ace and Adidas X 2015-2016 Cleat Colorways will definitely catch the eyes of the viewers.
But it will be Puma who hope to be the top talking point on these two Champions League nights. To maximize their on-pitch presence, Puma launched the two-colored Puma evoSPEED and evoPOWER 2015-2016 Tricks Boots Collection. It worked in the 2014 World Cup, so why it shouldn't work one year later.
However, a boot can only stand out on the pitch if there are high-profile players wearing them. So let's take a look at six boot line-ups of the 2015-16 Champions League Matchday 2 (in cooperation with Football Boots DB).
2015-16 UEFA Champions League Matchday 2 - Boot Lineups
