World Cup boots roundup
At this season’s World Cup a host of stars (minus the likes of Jack Wilshere, Dani Alves, Karim Benzema and Raidja Nainggolan) descend on Russia to pit themselves against one another for team and country.
Two of the greatest players to ever walk the planet, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, are of course representing their nations. They’re among an array of other worldwide talents that we see on a weekly basis domestically, but we will now see them on the biggest of stages.
But onto the most important bit – the football boots! We’ve picked out the elite, the stars of the stars, and we reveal all the footy boots that they’re wearing for the big event.
What football boots is Cristiano Ronaldo wearing for the World Cup?
Christiana Ronaldo is wearing customised Portugal Nike Mercurial CR7s.
What boots are Ronaldo, Messi and Griezmann wearing at the World Cup – Cristiano Ronaldo
For a man who’s won everything, literally, APART FROM a World Cup, this may be his last big chance to win it. Much was said about his poor form at the beginning of this season; is he finished? Is this it for the great one? But he turned it around and made it yet another outstanding, Champions—League winning season.
He’s battling in the World Cup wearing these beauties! They are absolutely glorious… Could they win his nation a much sought-after World Cup following on from their Euro 2016 success?
What football boots is Lionel Messi wearing for the World Cup?
Lionel Messi is wearing Adidas Nemeziz Messi 18s.
What boots are Ronaldo, Messi and Griezmann wearing at the World Cup – Lionel Messi
Not sure what we think about this luminescent green shade, but we certainly love the Nemeziz 18 football boots that Messi is wearing this tournament.
Whilst the little forward is absolutely adored here in Europe, worshipped like a king at the Camp Nou, his popularity back home in Argentina is unbelievable fairly low. Argentina’s continued failings to win a World Cup has been placed firmly on Messi’s shoulders, with his international form far from replicating his domestic performances.
But equipped in these sharp cleats (notably with his son and wife’s name printed on the heel) this tournament could be the World Cup that salvages the Barca players’ relationship with his country.
What football boots is Antoine Griezmann wearing at the World Cup?
Antoine Griezmann is wearing Puma Future 18.1 Grizis.
What boots are Ronaldo, Messi and Griezmann wearing at the World Cup – Antoine Griezmann
He won this season’s Europa League, helping Atletico romp to another European final with a handful of goals. He was also instrumental in helping France get to the Euro 2016 final as well, so he will look to go one step further this time around.
Griezmann is wearing his own signature pair of Puma Future 18.1s.
What football boots is Eden Hazard wearing for the World Cup?
Eden Hazard is wearing Nike Flyknit Mercurial Vapour XII Elites.
What boots are Ronaldo, Messi and Griezmann wearing at the World Cup – Eden Hazard
Hazard is, of course, part of a much-talked-about Belgium side who’ve underperformed in the last few tournaments. They possess one of the best starting-11 sides in the competition, one which includes Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne, Jan Vertonghen and many more who would not look out of place in a list of the world’s top 50 players.
He doesn’t quite get his own personalised pair of boots, but these smooth Mercurials are still top draw.
What football boots is Harry Kane wearing for the World Cup?
Harry Kane is wearing personalised Nike Hypervenom Phantom IIIs.
What boots are Ronaldo, Messi and Griezmann wearing at the World Cup – Harry Kane
He may struggle to pronounce what he is wearing, but England’s frontman will sport personalised Nike Hypervenoms for this year’s tournament.
After finishing as the second top scorer in the Premier League, he will be looking to establish himself as a truly world-class striker by making an impression at a major tournament after his anonymity at the last Euros.
What football boots is Neymar wearing for the World Cup?
Neymar is wearing Nike Mercurial Vapour 360 Amarillo Neymar Signatures.

These boots are by far the most mysterious. Apart from the exhaustingly-long name, these special Mercurial Venoms won’t actually be worn by Neymar at the start of the World Cup. Instead, they will be released after the group stages! It will be a bit of an anti-climax if Brazil don’t qualify for the knockout stages…
