Paulie Walnuts showed you the other day two separate pairs of the new Under Armour boots while in London with Bobby Zamora, but I trust Greg’s judgment on these all white boots and agree that they do look comfortable.
Interesting choice of price points to come in at though…
Peep the personalized boots that made it to South Africa for the players sponsored by Nike and thrown up over on the US MNT Blog.
“Included in the package were Total 90 Laser II’s (Carlos, Danny, Michael, Jonny and Freddy), the Air Legend III (Tim, Jose, and Ricardo) and the Mercurial Vapors (Beas, Gooch, Landon and Charlie).”

After gaining his 50th cap against Costa Rica on Wednesday, Clint Dempsey will be looking to pick up number 51 tomorrow in Chicago. It also looks like Demspey will break out the custom “Don’t Tread On Me” Mercurial Superfly boots for tomorrow’s game.
One of the more interesting aspects that goes into picking up the right pair of boots (in my opinion) is the comfortability, breakdown and design of each pair for the hard earned money you’re about to throw down.

More Pics after the Jump……
I remember when the Reebok Pumps came out and thinking that somehow pumping them up was going to help people jump higher. That clearly wasn’t the case. Now though, with these new Nike Flywire boots, it sounds as if footwear technology has developed to where it can realistically help you run faster. Interesting that some of the inspiration for this came from suspension bridges. I find the blending of technology, function and design interesting and I’m curious to see how technology continues to affect not only the performance of athletes, but how athletic gear is designed.
