Didier Drogba has been spotted during a training session with Chelsea in view of the Blues’ Champions League Last 16 match against FC Copenhagen, wearing a pair of unreleased Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly IIIs.

This confirms that the launch of the AdiZero competitor by Nike is on the doorstep . . . in fact, the Tottenham Hotspur winger Aaron Lennon has gone for such a purple pair of boots too, which involve an eye-catching flicker-like design.
