Not Always Nike | Here is Sergio Busquets' Full Boot History
Nov 23, 2016, by Chris
Last weekend, Sergio Busquets made his 400th match for Barcelona. And while he since then has made always all matches wearing Nike boots, he made his FC Barcelona first team debut with boots that are not made by the Swoosh. So let's take a look at Sergio Busquets' soccer cleat history.
Sergio Busquets Makes First Team Debut With Puma Boots
A product of Barcelona's youth system, Busquets surprisingly made his Barcelona debut wearing silver Puma King Exec football boots (kangaroo leather upper, released in 2007) and not cleats by Nike. However, after his first match as professional, Nike signed the rising defensive midfielder and gave him the Nike Tiempo Legend boot.
When Nike released the all-new Nike CTR football boot, Sergio Busquets immediately switched to Nike's control silo, a natural choice for the player who controls the game.
Nike Discontinues CTR Silo - Busquets Switches to Custom Magista Cleats
Ahead of the 2014 World Cup, Nike launched the revolutionary high-cut Nike Magista Obra soccer cleat. For the first time, Sergio Busquets was not totally happy with Nike's offering and opted for the low-cut, traditional Nike Magista Opus football boot.
Apart from that, it's interesting to note that Busquets wears not the standard edition of Nike's Magista soccer shoe, but one with a custom sole plate (Nike Tiempo Legend IV outsole).

Nike Expands Mercurial Scorpion Boots to More Players for 2026 World Cup Final Stages
Nike has expanded the presence of its special-edition Mercurial Scorpion boots on the pitch for the final stages of the 2026 World Cup. Initially, the striking design was expected to be an exclusive colorway reserved solely for signature stars Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr. during the knockout rounds. However, the boots have now been rolled out to several other high-profile players in the brand's roster as the tournament reaches its conclusion. Big thanks to bootsclub.
Taking inspiration from the iconic 2002 Scorpion campaign, the special colorway is available in both the Superfly 11 and Vapor 17 models. In recent matches, players such as Marcus Rashford, Mikel Oyarzabal, and Enzo Fernández have all been spotted wearing the Scorpion Mercurials. This wider rollout ensures the retro-inspired design gets maximum visibility on international football's biggest stage.
