5 Football Boots That Every 90's Kid Had

Football today is full of fancy football boots. Pink, yellow, orange, Balotelli once even wore a pair covered in headlines about himself! Mostly for commercial reasons, they have certainly changed in the last 10 years... and I'm sure Roy Keane will agree; possibly not for the better!

As a kid playing in the 90's, we all wore pretty much the same boots... Here are my favourites:

1) Copa Mundial

No nonsense. The classic football boot with the comfort level of a slipper. Still worn today by the old school players, usually centre halves who think the new style of boots are poncey and should be kicked out of the game! (Pardon the pun). These classic boots are the choice of coaches across the country from amateurs to professionals.

2) Adidas Champagne Predator

 

 

As worn by Golden balls himself when he scored the beauty that was the free kick against Greece. Most players had a pair of these boots, if not this colour, you definitely had the black ones! The Adidas Predator is still worn by the very best, although be it, a little "jazzed up".

 

 

3) Nike Air Zoom Total 90

 



 

Looking back now, they're horrendous. But at the time, everyone wanted a pair of these boots! From what I can remember they were comfy, cool and made you feel like Roberto Carlos! These classic Kangaroo skin boots were among the first of Nike's coloured boots.

 

 

4) Nike R9 Vapour

 

 

 

Made famous by Brazil's insane team of the Joga TV adverts, including Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldinho and more! Worn by the original Ronaldo (fat Ronaldo), these boots were usually the choice of speedy wingers or that striker in the team that tried 15 step overs before jumping out the way of the centre half about to smash him. They also came in white and blue!

 

 

5) Nike T90

 

 

 

Last but not least, probably the worst boot Nike have ever made... But everyone in the changing room had a pair at some point, if not a pair of astro's! Worn by Rooney when he spanked that screamer in for Everton that got him noticed. Still around today and the choice of some of the world's best defenders, they're a classic boot!

 

Have I missed some? It's hard to pick just 5 boots and miss out some classics like the Puma King and the blue Adidas F50+. Let us know below what boots you had as a kid. Which ones were your favourites?
