Boots Of The Match: Neymar Leads Brasil To Opening Day Win

The wait is over as the 2014 FIFA World Cup is fully underway (Thank you BasedGod). We kick-off this World Cup edition of #BootsOfTheMatch with the Opener between host country Brasil and Croatia. After a shaky start from Brasil, Neymar was able to drop a deuce (as in score 2 goals for you dirty minds) and lead his country to an opening day victory. Laced up in the Hypervenoms, Nike is celebrating up in their HQ that their lead man seems as if he'll do a repeat of the Confederations Cup last year. Hopefully this turns into a goal scoring war between Messi (adidas) vs Neymar (Nike), because that'll be too dope.

As for the rest of the boot world, Julio Cesar opted for Nike HyperVenoms after trying out the Tiempos and Magistas in earlier friendlies, Marcelo scores his first World Cup goal* in the adidas F50 adizero "battle pack", Modric laces up in the Nike Mercurial Vapor X, Hulk wore the Mizuno Morelia Neo, and much more.

NEYMAR GOLDEN DREAM NIKE HYPERVENOM FIRST LOOK

Using the same gold color as the special Cristiano Ronaldo 2014 White / Gold Boot, the shiny gold upper of the Neymar 2014 World Cup Boot will stand out on the pitch. The Metallic Gold color will shine on the pitch to offer Neymar a bold look.

The volt Nike Swoosh is the same used for all Nike 2014 World Cup Boots, while the iconic Nike Swoosh also features gold details inspired by the glory of winning the 2014 World Cup. Like the Swoosh, the outsole and the inner sole of the 'Golden Dream' Neymar 2014 World Cup Cleat are volt with black applications.

Nike will release the new gold Neymar 2014 World Cup Boot during the 2014 World Cup. Neymar currently plays with the normal colorway of the Nike Hypervenom 2014 World Cup Football Boot and will switch to his Golden Dream boot soon.

The Neymar 'Golden Dream' 2014 World Cup Boot will be available from June 21, 2014 and retails at the same price as the normal Nike Hypervenom Colorway.

We Crown The 2013-2014 #BootsOfTheMatch Champion

*boxing announcer voice*

And the new 2013-2014... Heavyweight... #BootsOfTheMatch... Champion of the world...

Cristianooo Ronaldooo

Talk about a successful year for a guy, Cristiano Ronaldo won the Ballon D'Or, the Copa Del Rey, UEFA Champions League, and now (the oh so good icing on the cake) Boots Of The Match Champ. With special edition and player exclusive boots all in one year, its been a good season for us boot lovers. 

Starting the 2013-2014 campaign with the Mercurial Vapor IX, Ronaldo moved on to one of the most anticipated boot releases, the Nike CR7 Galaxy. Following the Galaxies, Ronaldo wore the Flash Pack Mercurials, a boot that didn't recieve much playing time from other footballers. From there, Ronaldo began to wear the Mercurial Vapor IX 2010 Edition, a boot that was reserved only for him. This then led to Nike releasing another limited edition CR7 boot, celebrating his Ballon D'Or achievement. The boot didn't receive much playing time, but it definitely proved to be a historical boot. Further, Ronaldo will wear the revolutionary high-top Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly IV in this upcoming World Cup, giving one last bow before the official end of the football season.

In total, Ronaldo will lace up in six different boots by the end of the World Cup and, in conclusion, the 2013-14 #BootsOfTheMatch Champion.

The new Hypervenom 2014 Boot Colorway features the same colors as the releasing Nike Mercurial Vapor X Boot, which includes a pink upper, a volt Nike Swoosh and black details like the toungue. As all Nike 2014 World Cup Cleats, it includes a special pattern on the Nike Swoosh. The outsole of the Nike Hypervenom 2014 World Cup Boot is volt with a black Nike Swoosh, similar to the volt insole. The upper of the Nike Hypervenom Phantom 2014 Boot is made from the synthetic NikeSkin, designed for perfect control and agility. The gold Nike Swoosh is inspired by the 2014 World Cup trophy.

The Nike Swoosh is gold with black design elements; the outsole of the new boot is black and comes with four studs at the back.

NIKE TIEMPO LEGEND V WORLD CUP DETAILED IMAGES

The unreleased Nike Tiempo Legend V 2014 World Cup Boot comes with some similar design elements as the leaked Nike Mercurial Vapor X Boot, including the pattern of the Nike Swoosh and the pink insole. Unlike the colorways released until today, the special World Cup boot includes no bi-colored upper and outsole. Striking elements of the 2014 World Cup Tiempo Boot are also gold studs and the black Tiempo logo on the heel. The upper of the boot is made from k-leather and comes with the Nike Hypershield technology, which helps to reduce the boot dry in all weather conditions.

Boots Of The Match: Suarez Makes History In adidas F50 adizero "Earth Pack"

It didn't take long for Liverpool to see their title hopes fade away. In fact, it only took 15 minutes for Crystal Palace to draw level from 3 goals down. Aside from this disappointing point Liverpool took, Suarez managed to stay in-form, netting his 31st goal this season (ties Premier League Single-Season Goals Record). Switching between numerous boot models this season, the Uruguayan forward has enjoyed this most recent individual success in the adidas F50 adizero "earth pack". In addition, the dotted socks which are seen on Suarez are Trusox, which is what he usually prefers to wear.

As for the rest of the boot world, Courtois laced up in the Nike CTR360 Maestri III, Joe Hart wore the newly released Umbro UX-1, Tim Cahill snaps a pic of the Warrior Superheat, and much more.

Boots Of The Match: Cristiano Ronaldo And Nike Unveil The Mercurial Vapor Superfly IV

The Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly IV unveiled last week with Cristiano Ronaldo as the cover man for these high-top boots. Similar to the Magista, this Merc includes sock-liners and additionally will have a carbon fiber bottom. The boot will make its debut in May just prior to the World Cup, so Ronaldo will probably continue wearing his SE CR7 Mercurials. The hyper punch colorway makes a clean look on Portugal's Home Kit and will add a splash of color on Portugal's All-White Away Kit. 

As for the rest of the boot world, Mesut Ozil shows some customized adidas Predator LZ earth pack on his Instagram, Ronaldo continues to train in his Special Edition CR7 Mercurial Vapors, Christian Eriksen joins the list of players teasing us with the Nike Magista, and much more.
