ShoeMinx Salutes the Sexy Men of Football and their Footwear

We’ve all had a chance to ogle the Armani Underwear campaign starring Posh’s favorite accessory, David Beckham. And in March of 2004, Adidas and David Beckham took their long-standing relationship to an even higher level, representing the merging of two of the most powerful brands in world sport.

Inspired by the yin-yang philosophy, the Adidas Predator Pulse football boot represents a revolutionary design concept that combines striking power with elegance. This unique footwear was been created in honour of David Beckham, who was consulted in the development of this pioneering boot design.

David had a playful bad boy style before Posh, and looks leagues sharper now. She’s tamed the Eurotrash instinct out of his Overbaked-on-the-French-Riviera look.

When it comes to Ronaldo, man can this kid move underwear. Insert ShoeMinx *blush* here. We mean, this ad makes us want to run out and buy Peppe Jeans. And Peppe isn’t really even our thing. There aren’t a lot of male abdominals that could displace lovely American model Jessica Miller. We mean, is she even in this shot really?

And of course, this is the reason watch European football. You know, to share a whole pitcher of beer with just one other strange, lonely girl at the Portuguese bar down the street as you watch the game:

And we like that Ronaldo can take his easy-going style to the street…

There’s a reason the award handed to the best league scorer is called The European Golden Shoe. In 2008 it went to Ronaldo. Well-designed striking shoes make a world of difference in this high performance sport.

Ronaldo’s Nike Mercurial Super Light weighs only 190 grams and is made almost entirely of carbon fibre. Something which, until this point, had never been done before. The Nike SL is marketed as the brand’s most lightweight, responsive yet flexible football boot to date. The development process for the Nike SL took 3 years, spanning four continents.
