Josef Martinez has established himself as one of the most prolific scorers in Major League Soccer history. The Venezuelan forward’s remarkable consistency and explosive finishing have made him a key figure for Atlanta United and a record-setter in the league. This article examines the boots he wears and the role they play in his success.
Record-Breaking Season
Since joining Atlanta United, Martinez has been a goal-scoring machine. In just two MLS seasons, he has scored 46 goals in 45 games, a stretch that included two months on the sideline due to injury. This weekend, he broke the record for most goals in a single MLS season, notching his 28th. With several games still remaining, Martinez has a chance to surpass the 30-goal mark.
Boots of Choice: Nike Mercurial Superfly VI Elite
The MLS goal king wears the Nike Mercurial Superfly VI Elite. He has worn the Superfly silo ever since joining MLS, using both the V and VI editions. The boot seems to suit his style of play perfectly, providing the right balance of touch and speed.
Before his move to the United States, Martinez wore adidas boots while at Torino in Italy, most notably the adiZero f50. He switched to Nike shortly before coming to MLS, giving him time to adjust to the Mercurial silo. Given his goal-scoring record since the switch, it appears to have been the right decision.
