Feb 9, 2016, by Chris
An almost 15-years old pair of football boots has been spotted in Celtic's cup clash against semi-professional football club East Kilbride on Sunday. And as these kind of spots are always interesting, we want to start this article by expressing special thanks to our follower @_.lorcanbhoy.11 who sent us this spot via Instagram.
East Kilbride Player Shows Off Nike Air Zoom Total 90 II Boots
Close-up pictures of the boots worn by East Kilbride's Martin McBride.
Originally released in 2002 and worn in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, Martin McBride wore a non-modified version of the silver and navy Nike Air Zoom Total 90 II Boots. And while this usually means that there is nothing interesting to add, there is more than enough every Footy Headlines follower should know about the boots this time.
The second-generation of the Nike Air Zoom Total 90 Boots is designed for ultimate accuracy, comfort and power and was headlined by iconic players such as Roberto Carlos, Edgar Davids, Wayne Rooney and Luis Figo. The revolutionary feature of the Nike Air Zoom Total 90 II Boots was the off-centered lacing, which since then has been used for various different boots. What was the other key aspect of the boots?
The boot famously also had air inside the sole to offer players a feel of walking on air. It was really a revolutionary product that became an instant classic in the boot world. Let's talk a bit about the design.
The Nike Air Zoom Total 90 II Boots boasts a design that is especially remarkable for the three-block design that highlights the main feature of the boots, the off-centered lacing system. Martin McBride laced up in the silver and navy colorway of the boots that actually one of our writers wore in his childhood as lower-tier model.
This is our favorite boot spot of the year. Do you also still miss the Nike Total 90 silo? Let us know in the comments section below.

Concept: What If World Cup Winners Wore Special Badges on Club Kits?
A creative concept visualized by Bleacher Report has sparked discussion among kit enthusiasts, posing an intriguing question: what if players who have won the FIFA World Cup were allowed to wear a special champion badge on their club kits? Under current FIFA equipment regulations, only reigning national team champions and Club World Cup winners are permitted to sport the official FIFA Champions Badge, but bringing an individual achievement patch to the club stage introduces a bold twist to modern shirt details.
The mockups feature World Cup winners wearing a sleek, gold trophy silhouette on their kit sleeves stamped with the year of their international triumph. The concept envisions players like Lionel Messi donning a 2022 patch on his Inter Miami shirt, Kylian Mbappé carrying a 2018 badge in Real Madrid white, and Rodri sporting a 2026 mark. It serves as an immediate visual marker of football's ultimate honor, staying with the player regardless of their club transfers.
In reality, domestic leagues and confederations enforce strict uniform guidelines that limit sleeve real estate almost entirely to league badges, sleeve sponsors, and charitable campaign logos. While regulatory hurdles make such a badge virtually impossible in professional football, the visualization offers a clean and compelling look at how personal legacy could be integrated into club kits.
Inter Milan 26-27 Third Kit Debuted
Inter Milan officially debuted their new Nike 26-27 third kit on the pitch during a dramatic 5-3 Serie A comeback victory against Udinese at the San Siro, just hours after its official unveiling.
Taking inspiration from the Nerazzurri's iconic look from the late 1990s, notably referencing the 1997-98 and 1998-99 shirts. the new third kit is built on a stone-grey 'Iron Ore' base featuring a subtle tonal jacquard pattern. The centerpiece of the design is a prominent black horizontal chest band accented by a thin 'Blue Spark' lower stripe. Bright 'Speed Yellow' details are applied to the Swoosh, the two-starred club crest, the Betsson.sport sponsor, and retro-styled 1990s font names and numbers.
