This edition of “Look at that boot!” examines the standout footwear worn by four Serie A players in recent matches. From superhero-inspired colourways to mismatched pairs and blacked-out logos, these boots tell interesting stories about player preferences and contractual nuances.

Over the last two matches, the Inter Milan full-back has worn a special edition of the adidas X Ghosted. The colour combination on Hakimi’s feet is different from anything seen before, inspired by superheroes—specifically the X-Men. This collaboration between a football boot brand and an entertainment company is highly unusual. The adidas X Ghosted from the Marvel Pack is not the only version available; there is also a Predator range variant. Hakimi, therefore, has been wearing the adidas X Ghosted from the Marvel Pack.

The Napoli midfielder is setting a new trend by wearing two different boots. In recent days, he has played with two different colourways—one on each foot. The boots are a pair of Nike Tiempo Legend VIIs, the model that preceded the current Tiempo offering. During the away fixture against Sampdoria (a 0-2 win for Napoli), many noticed that the left boot had been painted black to cover the branding.

The league leaders’ striker surprised observers by wearing a pair of adidas Copa 19+ leather boots—a model that was replaced just a few weeks ago by the new-generation Copa Sense. Lukaku opted for an all-white colourway, partly to make the brand unrecognisable. This boot change is not entirely unexpected, as the Belgian striker has always been open to switching models and has a history with leather boots, including the Puma King Platinum which he wore for a long time.

The Roma centre-back wore the captain’s armband for the first time this weekend. Alongside the armband, many noticed his ‘blackout’ boots—a pair of Nike Tiempo Legend 8s that he had used before. He likely concealed the American brand’s logo due to contractual issues with Nike. This theory is supported by the fact that he was spotted wearing adidas Predator Freak .1s during a training session.
