Got these few days ago, certainly one of the rarest boots I come across in the past years! The boots are Adidas Predator Mania SG, with the screw in stud pattern. These are Rugby edition football boots and worn by Olly Barkley.

Barkley plays as fly-half at London Welsh. Fun fact about Barkley is that he played for his country before making his actual debut at Bath Rugby team.
There is few things that makes these boots very sought after:
- The rubber fins on the tongue instead of stiched Adidas stripes
- They are made in Germany
- There is more stiching around the upper
I think Adidas should have added the extra rubber stripes on the tongue on the retail version as well. Such a cool looking boot!
