I didn't figure until last night that blacked-out boots or Copas, with white ankle socks is such a fashion in Turkey. The amount of players in the Fenerbahce following this trend is more then I've ever seen before. This trend is very popular in the Brazilian legue, which perhaps goes a short way in explaining the occurance, with a number of South Americans in the team.

Zlatan must have really high arch, look at his right boot. also I never knew Zlatan is this tall... I mean I knew he is tall, but in this picture he looks 5+ inches taller than CR7 and CR7 is tall too!
the whole sole plate in the SL's aren't all carbon fibre, so I think the greenish part(which I'm pretty sure is supposed to be the light blue color for the Euro Capors but just faded or something) is just the plastic part that is normally clear on the SL's. I'm guessing they just colored it so it looks more like the Euro Vapor IV's
It's the Euro soleplate that's been grass stained. Someone actually posted an eBay link to a pair of his matchworn Vapors that looked exactly like that. They also had some homemade blacking out done on them. IIRC, Zlatan is 6'4" and Ronaldo is about 6'0" or 6'1" so that height difference doesn't seem too drastic.
Serious? Im 6"3 and i dont feel im that tall, but Zlatan looks pretty big on the pitch... I only feel smaller when ive played against a few guys who were 6"9ish.
two players stuck in the past..... http://cache3.asset-cache.net/xc/83...83A05122D236913009BA8D9FFBFDFE30A760B0D811297
I guess his contract with adidas expired and just tried those out before he gets a new one, whether it be with Nike or Adidas.
those are bikkembergs. they are an italian designer boot that i have only seen on fc bikkemberg's players.
Ludovic Giuly of Barcelona, and now AS Roma also wears Bikkembergs. Here is Dajan Samac in some pretty awesome MiAdidas Powerswerves
no one in that pic is wearing new vapors. the croatian is wearing vapor iii's and the italian is wearing bikkembergs.
