Euro 2012 Boots

     For each major tournament, companies usually release a colorway "line" to accommodate that tournament.
Euro 2012 is no different, with the likes of Nike, Adidas, Puma and Umbro releasing new colorways to support their players. 

First up is Nike. Being one of the main boot companies, the pressure was on for Nike to create another jaw-dropping line. Having already created their successful 2010World Cup line, a lot of fans were anxious to see what Nike would come up with.

Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII
Nike T90 Laser IV

Nike Tiempo
 Nike CTR360
The Nike Clash collection is very similar to the Nike WC 2010 series in that all the boots have the same white front (similar to the purple/gray front of the WC line). However, these boots feature different colors in the back for each boot.

Adidas
Adidas have kept it pretty simple for this years line, with all boots featuring the same main colors.

Adidas Adipure 11 Pro
Adidas F50 Adizero
Adidas Predator LZ
All the boots feature a red and blue colorway. The Predator LZ launch colorway was made to accommodate the two other boots.

Puma
Puma have been somewhat shrouded by Nike and Adidas, but this year they look to break through with new releases and exciting colorways.

Puma Evo Speed
Puma Powercat 1.12 SL
Puma King Finale SL

Puma and Adidas feature very similar colorways. Also, Puma have not just changed the colors, but re-invented two of their boots. First, the highly anticipated Evo Speed which replaces the V-Series. Then there is the new Powercat SL. Puma have reduced the weight of the Powercat to a mere 8.4 ounces, a very competitive weight for a power boot.

Umbro
Umbro have released a new line for Euro 2012 called the "St George Edition". This colorway was implemented onto all of Umbros boots.

Umbro GT Pro II

Umbro Speciali
Umbro Geometra Pro
Umbro has been constantly working to make a name for themselves in the crowded boot market. I think this release may help their cause.


Which one is your favorite?
