Soccer Cleat & Equipment Discussion Thread

I was bored browsing Instagram this morning and came across a couple of profiles selling classic soccer cleats. Got me thinking back to my youth playing days and all of the cleats I had so I spent the better part of my morning trying to find them all.

I was never a great player, but always loved having a new pair of cleats...still holds true today in my adult leagues.

Figured I'd start a thread recapping all of my cleats and just to have a place for general soccer equipment discussion. Hopefully we can keep this going as I am sure many of you play, have played, have kids that play, or all of the above. Should be good for nostalgia if nothing else.

My cleat history:

1) Nike Mercurial Talaria (picture is Vapors, but they looked identical). These were my first pair of "nice" cleats - couldn't believe I talked my parents into spending $90 on cleats for me.


2) Lotto Duel II - was really hard to find a picture of these.


3) Adidas F50


4) Adidas F50+


5) Adidas Predator Absolute


6) Lotto Zhero Evolution


7) Puma V1.06 Grass Camo


8) Puma V1.06 (Last pair of cleats I had for High School)


9) Diadora LX K Pro (bought these for college intramurals and loved them - wish I could find another pair)


This begins my most recent cleat obsession - joined a local adult league and can't help myself.

11) Puma evoPower Vigor 3D 1
