Sylvinho used to wear Nike, but since the beginning of this year he's wearing Mizuno.
There has been a story a month ago that Alves rejected new Nike contract which expires October this year. So, when the new campaign starts, we will see.
P.S. It will be great if Nike push Ribery towards Barcelona.
Thanks, House, changed that.
I thought Pyuol wore Diadoras? I guess that was a while back though.
houseMD - nike can aslo push ribery to manchester so i rather leave them out of it. what is mizuno, i never heard of it.
Don't mess with Samuels Puma's!

Btw, don't the players have a choice to wear the "standard" Barca-shoes? The shiny blue ones that Silvinho, Puyol and Thuram used to wear.
Anyone know what I mean?
I mean these:
ThuramSylvinho
I think they can basically wear what they want, no?
Of course, butr what I meant to say was that they have the option to wear the official footwear.
Although I haven't seen them come by (the blue shoes) for a long time.
I've noticed Iniesta had some nice flashy yellow shoes in the last few matches or so.
It looks like they're somewhat shaped like futsalshoes which would only be in the benefit of his technical abilities of course. :)
Marc4barca: Mizuno is Japanese sports goods company. If you remember, Rivaldo used to wear their boots. Puyol also wore their boots at the start of his career.
In fact, they can push him (Ribery) toward every club Nike endorses, but I don't think they'll push him anywhere if he doesn't express his wish.
That Messi Adidas is dangerous on the long term.
Messi wore NIKE boots in febrary 2006(vs chesea＠SB) didn't he?
i think NIKE made huge mistke.
...one of barcas best player of all time...the most dangerous left-food...master of free-kicks and wide shots...most powerfull and human force was wearing mizuno...the one and only...RIVALDO!!!!!...mizuno is a japanese shoe...many brazilian players wear them...spanish ezquerro too...
...to housemd...saw too late that you just said it...was too fast by outing my praise for RIVALDO!!!!!
