He definitely got a good taste. Assou-Ekotto has yet again shown that he loves the Adidas Predator, even though Adidas discontinued their iconic silo on year ago. The Saint-Etienne defender laced up in pair of the Adidas Adipower Predator Cleats in last weekend's Ligue 1 match against Stade de Reims after he already wore the original version of the white Adidas Predator Mania Boots two weeks ago.
Update 24/11/15: Assou-Ekotto again laced up in the Adidas Adipower Predator Boots in Saint-Etienne's last Ligue 1 match. And while he previously opted for the white, blue and orange colorway of the boots, he has chosen the still-iconic black and orange colorway of the Adidas Predator Adipower Boots this time.
Released in May 2011, the Adidas Predator Adipower Football Boots are made for ultimate power while featuring a super soft Taurus full grain calf leather for a glove-like fit. Players such as Kaka, Nani and Robin van Persie originally headlined the Adidas Predator Adipower Football Boots.

Assou-Ekotto laced up in a non-modified version of the White, Cyan, Black and Warning Colorway of the Adidas Adipower Predator Boots, which were revealed in late November 2011. However, he swapped the laces of his boots to make an even bolder statement on the pitch.
It will be utterly interesting to see in which boots Assou-Ekotto will lace up in tomorrow's match against Olympique Lyonnais.
We'll definitely keep an eye on his boots in the next week. What do you think of Assou-Ekotto's latest boot choice? Let us know in the comments below, and also check out the complete history of the Adidas Predator Boots.
T90-Inspired Nike Barclays WSL 26-27 Ball Released
Nike and the Women's Super League have officially revealed the official match ball for the 26-27 Barclays WSL and WSL2 seasons.

The design features vibrant multi-coloured rings and graphic lines in red, pink, blue, and black against a white base. These accents are arranged to create a subtle strobe effect when spinning in flight, aiding visibility for players on the pitch. The Barclays WSL version features a gold Nike Swoosh inside the signature circular ring, while the WSL2 edition showcases a silver Swoosh paired with bright pink detailing.
Underneath the graphics, the ball utilizes Nike Control technology with debossed grooves and engineered paneling designed to deliver stable aerodynamics and consistent touch in all conditions. The new ball will be used across all 26-27 WSL, WSL2, and domestic cup matches.
