The confusion surrounding Mesut Ozil’s boot situation took a new turn when the Real Madrid star and teammate, Marcelo, turned up to training in a pair of white out boots. Thanks to Justin B. for the great spot!
Ozil has in recent times been switching between the Nike Mercurial Vapor, and the adidas Predator LZ, despite the fact that, as far as we are aware, he is contracted by Nike. After appearing in the LZ against Barcelona during Madrid’s Super Cup victory, Ozil showed up to training in a mysterious pair of white out boots. Interestingly enough, Marcelo, a Mercurial Vapor endorser, was spotted in the same white out boots, only increasing speculation about what they could be.
Unfortunately the pictures we have of the two are pretty shoddy quality, and all we can make out for sure is that they are a white pair of boots with blue studs. That being said, the second photo does make the boots look like the white out adiZero miCoach. If that’s the case, then we could see both Marcelo and Ozil ditch Nike for adidas.
Interestingly enough, the LZs that Ozil has been wearing have the German flag on them, either meaning adidas are actively pursuing his signature by personalizing his boots, or he’s taken a pair from one of his German teammates.
German site, realmadrid.de, have been quoting Ozil as saying something along the lines of ”I appreciate the cooperation with Nike in recent years… I want to take my time and use the unsigned time to test different shoes.” They are the only site with this ‘quote’ however, so we have no way of knowing whether or not it is legitimate. If it is though, Ozil’s lucrative five year contract that he signed with Nike in 2011 has apparently been prematurely terminated by one of the parties involved and we could be seeing him sign with adidas in the near future.
We have yet to hear anything concrete from either adidas, Nike or Ozil himself, so lots of this is nothing more than pure speculation. What do you think is going on with Ozil and what are they mysterious white out boots he was wearing? Leave your answers in the section below.
About Isaac Abraham
Looking at another photo with a better angle of Marcelo’s shoes, they are definitely Adidas cleats because of the stud pattern an micoach cavity. They also seem to be stitched leather on the forefoot. Adipure 11pro whiteout?
To clarify, I am referring to a photo that’s on Madrid’s Facebook page.
Deff. Adizero whiteout
I’ve updated the post to include the pictures you mentioned. Definitely looks like an adiZero MiCoach to me!
From what I can see it seems like they are both the white-out adizeros considering the studs are blue. I dont really know any other boot out there with that colour scheme.
I’m pretty sure they are the same adidas boots that sven bender was testing out you can tell its adidas because you can the sprint frame in blue
Mr.Isaac Abraham the only other german player in the real madrid first team is Sami Khedira and he is a nike endorser. this fact leads me to believe that Adidas are giving a massage across to nike that Mesut is theirs.
The cleats Marcelo and Ozil are probably the Adidas Adizero all white with blue studs and it is a boot you can even buyy today nothing special. It’s a boot already out it’s even on soccer.com

If you look at the second picture you can see ozil wearing predators. Sadly it looks like ozil is trying out the adidas range before settling out on a adidas cleat. Otherwise he just may stick with Nike
