World Cup Golden Cleat Race – Which Pair Is Leading?

Which soccer cleat has been the most effective in terms of goal scoring involvement at the World Cup in Qatar? The answer is clear: the Nike Mercurial silo (including the Vapor and Superfly versions) has contributed to a whopping 54 goals, placing it firmly at the top of the race. This breakdown looks at the top-performing boots and the players driving their success.

Nike Mercurial – The Frontrunner with 54 Goals

The Nike Mercurial silo dominates the goal-scoring charts, thanks to standout performances from several players. Kylian Mbappé leads all individuals with 5 goals while wearing a custom Mercurial Superfly featuring a French color-set along the heel. Richarlison has been a surprise package for Brazil, bagging 3 goals, and Enner Valencia also scored 3 for Ecuador before their elimination.

Adidas X Speedportal in Second Place

The Adidas X Speedportal sits in second place, driven by Lionel Messi (in his signature gold X Speedportal Leyenda Messi.1) and Álvaro Morata (in the standard World Cup edition), each with 3 goals. Additionally, Rafael Leão and Julián Álvarez, both still in the tournament, have each scored twice and are worth watching.

Nike Phantom GT 2 – Gonçalo Ramos Shines

The Nike Phantom GT 2 gets a major boost from Gonçalo Ramos, who marked his first World Cup start with a surprise hat-trick for Portugal against Switzerland after replacing Cristiano Ronaldo in the lineup.

Puma ULTRA – Surprise Contender with 19 Goals

The Puma ULTRA is the surprise package on this list, contributing 19 goals and showing real potential to move into the top three. Olivier Giroud and Cody Gakpo lead the way for Puma, each with 3 goals. Ritsu Doan and Aleksandar Mitrović also scored twice in the boots before their teams were eliminated.
