Are these the fashion forward cleats of the tournament?

Every tournament there seems to be one particular boot that is the choice of half the players in the field. Behold the Nike Magista



Is it a sock? Is it a shoe? Is it ugly? Well that one's a yes anyway. It looks like somebody stuck their foot in a tennis ball. When I was playing I wore Copa Mundials. wtf happened?

Not fashion forward. Boot makers, and brands of a side or selection, are trying to avoid players placing ergonomic socks over their stirrups. Nothing more.

ETA Haven´t yáll seen some white just above the ankle? Happens a lot. This is the reason.

Companies got smart and realized there's no money to be made on a low markup boot that hasn't changed in 30 years and doesn't stand out on the pitch.

Love Copas, BTW. Hate most of the new day-glo stuff but that's how it is now.
