Happy Birthday! Here is Luis Suárez' Full Boot History
Barcelona and Uruguay striker Luis Suárez celebrates his 31th birthday today, reason enough for us to take a look through his illustrious career, from a football boot angle.
Born on January 24, 1987 in Salto, Uruguay, Luis Suárez' professional career kicked off with local side Nacional in 2005. Stellar performances earned Suárez a move to Groningen in the Eredivisie in 2006 and on to Dutch giants Ajax just a year later. Boots-wise, Suárez, who is now a well-known Adidas player, used to wear Nike Mercurial boots in those early days.
In fact, it wasn't until 2008 that Suárez, who was still at Ajax, switched brands and moved from the Nike Mercurial to the Adidas F50. He continued wearing the different generations of the Adidas F50 soccer cleats up until they were discontinued in 2015.
Nowadays, Suárez, as you'll all know, plays for FC Barcelona and wears Adidas X 17+ Purspeed boots.

FC Luzern have unveiled their new 2026-27 home kit, debuting it in the final home game against FC Zürich. Made by Erreà, the new shirt replaces the traditional white details with gold elements, giving the kit a darker and more elegant appearance for the club’s 125th anniversary season.
The new FC Luzern home shirt features a deep navy base combined with gold logos, names and numbers, while subtle ornamental graphics inspired by the Rathaussteg bridge connect the design to the city of Lucerne. A special anniversary crest can also be added to the sleeve.
