José Mourinho’s Real Madrid bounced back from a kind of slump with a comprehensive victory over Real Sociedad, which involved Cristiano Ronaldo netting his 100th and 101st league goals for Los Blancos with the new Mercurial Vapor VIII football boots.

However, it was not only the lead Nike endorsee who wore the latest Bright Mango incarnation this weekend, being followed by Barcelona’s forward Alexis Sánchez, who unluckily did not get onto the scoresheet in the Catalan side’s win over Mallorca in La Liga, despite his fierce drive being deflected onto the crossbar.

Starting the Serie A match against Roma in this edition of Nike’s ‘speed’ boot, Zlatan Ibrahimović had to change to the Midnight Purple / Silver Nike Mercurial Superfly III in order to bag a couple of goals.

Furthermore, shifting our attention to the Bundesliga and Germany, a land where the world of football boots is largely dominated by adidas, we managed to spot Franck Ribéry of Bayern Munich against Hannover 96, wearing the latest MV 8 complete with bespoke customisation involving the French national flag, for example.
