#18 Puma Evospeed SL II Tricks

Puma Evospeed
A laser crafted frame ensures stability during sharp turns

Perhaps the most eyeball-grabbing boots on show in 2016 is the Puma Evospeed SL II Tricks. This pair, sported by many legends of the modern game, bears a distinct colour scheme, which is quite loud, and in sync with the tagline for the pair, which is ‘Play Loud’.

Beneath the overtly garrulous colour scheme lie a ton of footwear innovations pioneered by Puma. A significant increase in flexibility, a laser crafted frame for support during sharp turns and nylon outsole for lightness are some of the hallmarks of this pair of boots.

#17 Nike Hypervenom Phantom II

Nike Hypervenom
The Phantom II is the go-to boot for strikers

The Hypervenom Phantom II is one of the latest additions to the Hypervnenom stable. The Phantom II is designed for firm, natural surfaces. Tailored to the requirements of modern strikers, it offers superb agility and an almost barefoot touch.

Flywire cables combine with the Tech Craft collar, resembling a sock, to create a perfect fit and ensure the foot does not move inside the boot. Many of the deadliest finishers of the modern game sport this pair.
