Yesterday, we asked you to vote for the Best Football Boot of 2018. Today we want to know from you which was the worst soccer cleat of 2018.
There have been a lot of football boots released this year. The most of them were rather good, but there are some releases that we don't like at all. We have made a pre-selection of 10 football boots of 2018 we didn't like - because of its design, its tech or the boot release was not needed at all.
Adidas Nemeziz Lone Hunter
Adidas' first boot release of 2018. The Lone Hunter Pack was not worn by any player, and it seems certain that Adidas will never release a remake of the Nemeziz boot of the collection.
Umbro UX Accuro II
The second-gen Umbro UX Accuro football boot does not look like a high-quality, top-tier boot of 2018 despite it should be.
Adidas Copa 18.1 Team Mode
The Adidas Copa 18 football boot was released in a few awful colorways, and luckily Adidas has replaced the Copa 18 generation with the all-new Copa 19.
Nike Phantom VSN Maroon Colorway
The Rising Fire maroon colorway of the Nike Phantom VSN football boot was not looking so great and also featured a slightly different upper than all the other Phantom Vision releases - you should not to that, Nike.
Adidas Nemeziz 18 Spectral Mode
The Adidas Nemeziz Spectral Mode edition is colored ash silver and already in the outlets.
Adidas Copa Mid Gore-Tex
The Adidas Copa Mid Gore-Tex was the strangest release of the year, and that by far. The boot came out after the launch of the next-gen Adidas Copa, something that should not happen. The boot was originally even scheduled for late 2017...
Nike Mercurial Superfly What The
Inspired by the iconic 2016 Nike What The Mercurial, the Nike Mercurial Superfly 'What The' soccer cleats were looking almost just as blackouts. The sole plate made them look better, however.
Puma One 18.1 Freezy Pack
The garish look of the Puma One 18.1 Freezy Pack boots does just not fit a leather comfort & touch boot.
Adidas Glitch 18 Exterskin
Adidas released dozen of colorways for the interchangeable Adidas Glitch. We not remember all, but the Adidas Glitch 18 Exterskin were likely one of the worst.
Nike CR7 China Edition
If you missed it, it is no huge surprise. Nike has released a Nike CR7 China Edition that was not worn by Ronaldo himself ever...

Cristiano Ronaldo Wears Long Sleeves in 34 Degree Heat Against Uzbekistan
During Portugal's 2026 FIFA World Cup match against Uzbekistan in Houston, Texas, Cristiano Ronaldo caught the attention of kit enthusiasts for his unusual shirt choice. Despite the scorching 34 degrees Celsius heat, the Portuguese captain opted to wear a long-sleeved version of the Puma Portugal 2026 home shirt. Thanks to @jerseystory_vn.
Ronaldo was the only player on the pitch to wear long sleeves during the game. Throughout his career, he has frequently preferred long-sleeved shirts, making it his trademark look, but doing so in such extreme temperatures is highly uncommon. The decision did not seem to impact his performance on the pitch, as he scored a brace to help secure a victory for his national team.
