2017 Footy Headlines Boot Awards - Worst Football Boot of the Year - Results
The end of the year is in sight now. We want to let choose the fans the best and worst soccer cleats of the year with the 2017 Footy Headlines Boot Awards.
The Footy Headlines 2017 Boot Awards is broken down in four categories this year (Best Boot, Worst Boot, Most Innovative, Special Award). You can already vote for the Best Football Boot of 2017. The vote for the Most Innovative boot will begin soon, while the special award is chosen by the Footy Headlines Team.
Worst Football Boot of 2017
Here are some of the worst soccer cleats of the year.
2017 brought us some disgusting and horrendous football boots, with each brand releasing quite a few boots that were slow sellers such as the Nike Hypervenom x EA Sports FIFA 18 football boots (it was likely the first time that you could get a limited-edition Nike football boot weeks after the official launch for a fraction of the original price) or simply unneeded (Puma Super Atom, some Adidas collections / special-edition boots).
Adidas Ace Purecontrol Kith Flamingo: Despite being a strictly limited edition release, the Adidas Ace Purecontrol 17+ boot of the first-ever Adidas Football Kith collaboration is selling for a half of around the original price.
Adidas Copa 17.1 Mid Gore-Tex: Scheduled for a release in late 2017, the Adidas Copa Mid Gore-Tex is the first-ever soccer cleat / hiking boot hybrid. The boot has not been released yet, however, and maybe Adidas decided to bury them even before the launch.
Adidas X 16.1 Pure Stealth: One of Adidas' special-edition release that proofed to be not popular at all - it is not hard to see why.
Adidas Glitch Mirage Pack Pink: Adidas has released extremely many Glitch editions this year. Not all could be great...
New Balance Furon 3.0: The already third generation of the New Balance Furon soccer cleats is reported to better than the first generations... But those are known as the by far worst football boots that were released in the past few years. New Balance, it is time to discontinue them.
Nike Hypervenom Phantom III Launch Colorway: The Nike Hypervenom launch paint job looks very outdated and, for us, much worse than all colorways released of the actually great boot released since then.
Puma Super Atom: An exact copy of the Puma Super Atom soccer cleat that was released in 1952 (first-ever boot to feature screw-in studs - marked Puma's venture into the football world), it remains Puma's secret who needed that boot in 2017 to play football.
Puma 365 Ignite High Football Boot: One of the most horrendous football shoes released this year, the all-new Puma 365 Ignite boot for small-sided football will definitely not sell out fast with people describing them as hiking boot...
Puma evoSPEED Bellerin: Hector Bellerin's signature boot is an example of Puma's not-so-great but many signature releases this year (Too much is going on here...)
What was the worst boot of 2017? Let us know in the comments below if we missed any bad soccer cleat launched this year and also vote for the Best Football Boot of 2017.

The jersey's defining feature is an all-over tonal abstract lightning bolt graphic woven into the fabric. Adding a touch of classic detail, Puma has included a buttoned collar with white contrast inserts at the back, paired with matching white trim on the sleeve cuffs. The BVB crest and Puma cat logo stand out in vibrant yellow, with the Vodafone sponsor logo placed prominently across the chest.
The full kit is completed with matching black shorts and black socks featuring white cuff details and yellow BVB 09 text.
