No doubt, eyes will be fully focused on this weekends Serie A game, as Beckham is likely to line up with Kaka, Ronaldhino and Pato. Not a bad line up of stars!
battle with Nike for top spot of the Soccer Cleat industry. The DB’s have been created with a combination of Powerswerve and ClimaCool technology. You get all the benifits of the normal Powerswerve with an extra bonus! The ClimaCool part comes in as small air pockets, cut out to create extra circulation in the cleat. Adidas tested the movement of air around a runner’s shoe and positioned ventilation ducts in locations scientifically proven to maximize air velocity to the foot Add to this a fully ventilated mesh upper and breathable sock liner, you are ensured of maximum airflow throughout the cleat. Check out the pic of Beckham’s Powerswerve DB heel. The ‘DB’ stands for his name, the ‘V’ for his wife Victoria. On the right boot Beck’s has the Italian flag, while on the left boot he has the English flag. Release date is set for mid-March. Check back for more information on availability.
Robin Van Persie helped Arsenal avoid a potential banana skin in their FA Cup tie with Plymouth today. With so many scalps in today’s round of games, Arsenal will be pleased to have won comprehensively 3-1. Van Persie scored the first and third goals for the Gunners. With their disappointing league form leaving them 10 points off the top, Arsenal will be looking to make the final of the FA Cup for the first time since they won the tournament in 2005.
In today’s game, Van Persie was wearing Adidas Predator Powerswerve White Metallic/Metallic Silver/Black. In recent weeks, including his goal versus Liverpool two weeks back, he wore the Indigo/silver/pool version. These are two of three new designs Adidas has released recently.The Powerswerve range is one of the top cleats on the market at the moment, battling with the Nike Mercurial Vapor IV range.The Powerswerve is a very classy cleat, with many advantages over other top brands. For instance, the PowerPulse insole, that has an additional 10grams of Tungsten, adds increased shot power by sending the Tungsten from back to front of the cleat as you swing through.The introduction of SmartFoam technology and a re-designed PowerPulse system gives this boot increased ball spin for accuracy and masses of power when you need it. Weighing in at 11.2 oz. with PowerPulse, or 10 oz. without.

Why the difference in sizes?
What cleats do you like to wear?
What do you look for when choosing a cleat?
When it comes to cleats, I am kind of old school. I don’t really like flashy colors, not my style! I play really simple, hence why I wear mostly all black cleats. My preferred cleats mostly come in that color. You have to know your feet and what you feel comfortable in. I personally think that leather is better than the synthetic material. You have to know also whether you want style points or comfort points.
Is there any additional advice you can give?
From my past experience, leather breaks in quickly but if it doesn’t, I usually shower with my boots and they will mold to my foot. In order to maintain them in top form I use leather food before I wear them. Remember that the clears are your tools!
