Jul 19, 2017, by Chris
Former players such as Real Madrid defender Michel Salgado and Steven Gerrard laced up in really classy football boots in last weekend's Star Sixes six-a-side tournament.

Whereas his teammate Carles Puyol opted for a pair of the not-so-classy Nike TiempoX Proximo TF football boots from the Motion Blur pack, Michel Salgado wore the stunning limited-edition Adidas Copa 17.1 soccer cleats, featuring black Three Stripes and a classic fold-over tongue.
Interestingly, Míchel Salgado has only started wearing Adidas boots after he retired from professional football as he mostly wore Umbro soccer cleats during his career.
Steven Gerrard Opts For Adidas Predator Signature Boots

Only logically, Steven Gerrard opted for his stunning Adidas Predator signature boots Adidas released for his last match at Anfield more than two years ago.
Steven Gerrard and Míchel Salgado were not the only players lacing up in stylish / classic boots in the tournament, even though it's quite interesting to see how many retired footballers opt for the latest 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. Built on Nike's Control ball model, the design draws heavy inspiration from Nike's iconic Total 90 era, bringing a retro-infused visual identity to top-tier English women's football.
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.
