In this edition of “Look at that boot!”, we turn the spotlight on three Serie A players who made notable footwear decisions on the pitch. From a striker returning to a familiar model to a captain reviving a vintage speed boot and a goalkeeper switching brands, each choice tells a story about comfort, performance and personal preference.

Romelu Lukaku – Nike Mercurial

The Inter forward, already featured in the first episode of this series, stepped onto the field wearing Nike Mercurials – boots he had already used earlier this season. Lukaku’s case is particularly intriguing because he has gone back to his roots. For most of the season he alternated between Mercurials and Phantoms. Later he was spotted in a pair of Copas, and during the match at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, he returned to Mercurials. The exact reason for his frequent swaps is unknown, but one thing is certain: the Belgian enjoys wearing and testing different boots. Expect to see him again in this section.

João Pedro – adidas X Ghosted Falcon

After an incredible comeback that secured Cagliari’s survival, Brazilian captain João Pedro sat alongside Parma’s Kurtic with tears in his eyes following a defeat that pushed his team closer to relegation. Beyond the emotional spectacle, the Sardinian side’s captain wore a pair of vintage boots he had been using for a long time: the adidas X Ghosted Falcon. This special edition of the German brand’s lightest boots features a falcon silhouette, reinforcing the concept of speed – a quality shared by both the adidas design and the Brazilian player. A truly spectacular boot with a stunning design that João Pedro wanted to bring back onto the pitch.

The Polish goalkeeper has been one of the season’s standout performers, saving Fiorentina from heavy defeats. Recently, a significant change in his footwear caught attention: he switched from adidas to a brand that is gradually gaining popularity among young players – Mizuno. The “Viking” replaced his Predator Freak.1 boots with a pair of Mizuno Morelia Neo, a completely different style. The quality of the Japanese brand’s boots is well known, and the company is progressively expanding partnerships with young talents. For Fiorentina’s number 69, the Morelia Neo offers comfort and advanced technology – a perfect combination for the Viola goalkeeper.
