Thierry Henry features in Reebok’s latest viral video Your Move.

Reebok have created a new viral video entitled ‘Your Move’, which features their leading football boot endorser Thierry Henry.

The video begins with Thierry Henry marking out a white box on a road. Following Thierry, there are other people outlining similar boxes in a variety of situations. It soon becomes apparent that these boxes have been created to showcase a multitude of sporting skills.

Whilst Thierry features in the video, he’s not showcasing much of his own talent beyond balancing the ball on his head, although their is a freestyle footballer juggling with the ball as he sits on the ground.

The video ends with Thierry offering you to take the square, for ‘Your Move’.

See the video in the Football Boots Video section.

Reebok has announced the launch of its new colourway Sprintfit football boot.

The Black and Tetra Blue colour way, which Footy Boots exclusively revealed in May, will be available for purchase in September 2007.

Rather than introducing needless gimmicks, the Sprintfit favours simple, yet intelligent design features. It is designed to have everything a modern player needs and nothing they don’t.

The Sprintfit football boot is currently worn by Thierry Henry, Andriy Shevchenko, Iker Casillas and Ryan Giggs.

Available: September 2007

Price: £125

With the transfer window remaining in full swing, clubs still trying to get in their last minute buys before the season begins on Saturday, Footy-Boots.com takes a look at the summer investments of the Premiership’s ‘top 5’ clubs.

Owen Hargreaves (Man Utd) has shipped his Adidas +Predator Absolute boots from Munich to Manchester (£17 million) to join fellow new boys Nani (Nike Mercurial Vapor III) and Anderson (Adidas +Predator Absolute) at Old Trafford. He will be hoping to create a solid midfield partnership in the Manchester United engine room with fellow England international Michael Carrick (Puma V-Konstrukt II). Are Hargreaves and Carrick too alike? Will they be able to play alongside each other?

Florent Malouda (Chelsea - Nike Total 90 Laser). The Fulham Road club fought off competition from Liverpool to sign up pacy winger and France’s footballer of the year, Florent Malouda. Malouda has already shown his huge talent, holding off England international Rio Ferdinand, to notch against Manchester United in the Community Shield. He will be hoping that his Nike T90 Laser’s can help supply the ammunition to the blues striker force Didier Drogba (Nike Mercurial Vapor III Cactus), Andrei Shevchenko (Reebok Sprintfit), and fellow Chelsea new boy, Claudio Pizarro (Adidas +Predator Absolute), and reclaim the Premiership title from their north west rivals. Malouda looks a quality signing, and is sure too be a fine replacement should Arjen Robben (Adidas +F50 Tunit 2) leave the club.

FB Rating 4.5/5

Fernando Torres (Liverpool - Nike Total 90 Laser). ‘El Nino’ (the Kid) progressed through Atletico Madrid’s youth system and became one of Europe’s most sought after strikers following an impressive showing in the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Not renowned for his prolific goal scoring, he will be hoping fellow new boy Ryan Babel (Nike Mercurial Vapor III) can create the chances for him to find the net with his Nike T90 Laser’s; thus finally replacing Michael Owen (Umbro X Boot III) as Liverpool’s twenty goal a season striker.

FB Rating 3.8/5

Eduardo da Silva (Arsenal - Nike Mercurial Vapor III). Brazilian born Croatia striker Da Silva knows that he and fellow attackers Robin Van Persie (Adidas +Predator Absolute) and Emmanuel Adebayor (Adidas +F50 Tunit 2) have a difficult task in replacing the prolific Thierry Henry (Reebok Sprintfit). The former Dinamo Zagreb man has already been described as a ‘great asset’ by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, and began to repay his faith by scoring on his Arsenal debut against Lazio in the recent Amsterdam tournament. Only time will tell if he can replace Henry.

FB Rating 3.7/5

Gareth Bale (Spurs). Exciting 18 year old Welsh international and Adidas +F50 Tunit 2 wearer Gareth Bale has swapped the south coast for London joining Spurs crop of youthful team for an upfront payment of £5 million, which could raise to £10 million on appearances. Bale, who is renowned for his precise free kicks, will be hoping to pick out fellow new boy, Darren Bent, and his Nike Mercurial Vapor III’s. Bale, at 18, looks to have an extremely bright future ahead of him.

FB Rating 4.2/5

Do you think the Premiership’s top 5 have spent wisely? Who else would you like to see your team bring in before the transfer window closes at the end of the month?

Henry Shows Off His New Kit and New Reebok Sprintfits

Ex-arsenal striker Thierry Henry has been unveiled this week in his new Barcelona shirt, having taken the number 14, made famous by Johann Cruyff. Thierry Henry moved to his new Spanish club in a cut price £16million deal in a move that had been speculated on all season, but once confirmed was still a shock to Arsenal fans, who face the prospect of their club going into melt-down, especially if manager Arsene Wenger joins the exodus. Henry took the opportunity to showcase his new football boots for the first time, the Reebok Sprintfits.

Footy-Boots especially enjoyed the way as Thierry Henry was making his way onto the Barcelona pitch for the first time in front of the world’s waiting media, he stopped to tie his white Reebok Sprintfits laces, giving everyone a great view of his new football boots, and probably earning himself a few extra Euros from his sponsors, Reebok, who would have loved the exposure from that simple move! Henry saluted the assembled 20,000 Barca fans, then gave a quick demonstration of a few tricks and moves, during a carefully staged exercise.

Watch the video, and see Thierry Henry in his new football boots here.

Thierry Henry in New Reebok Sprintfit Football Boots And New Colourway News!

With all the talk of Thierry Henry’s impending transfer to Barcelona, which may or may not be happening, the Reebok player must be in the mood to let his hair down a bit and relax amongst friends, while others decide his footballing future, be it at Arsenal or Barcelona.

Recently Thierry Henry was in the Far East on a promotional tour with Reebok and we finally got to see the Arsenal striker in the new football boots that he will be wearing from next season. By the look of him, Thierry has been enjoying his break from football, as he looks a bit chunkier than we remember - but even with the extra pounds, the magic is still there and the new Reebok Sprintfits look impressive! In the video, Thierry Henry, shows off his skills and we get a couple of nice close ups of the Reebok Sprintfit as well against “limited” opposition.

Henry seems to genuinely enjoy joining in the fun, even will all the bizarre things happening around him during the show. As Reebok are footing the bill Henry seems happy to go along and gurn for the cameras at appropriate intervals. Unfortunately our Korean is a little rusty, so any help with translation would be appreciated by any Footy-Boots visitors!

Reebok Sprintfit - A New Red Colourway?

Earlier Henry had given an interview on ESPN which was remarkable not in what was said, but what was behind the interview - a pair of RED Reebok Sprintfits! A new colourway to add to the white and black, but was this a marketing slip-up or a deliberate tease to ensure speculation and interest? Whatever the reason - we like the red colourway!

Reebok Showcase the Sprintfit - the new football boot for Thierry Henry

Excitement is building here at Footy-Boots HQ, as we approach the release date for the new Reebok Sprintfit football boot. So far, we are yet to see the new football boot being worn by Shevchenko as expected, but at least there are further details of the Reebok Sprintfit, and the options that will be available when it is released.

Reebok Sprintfit Plus FG Football Boot

Reebok is cranking up the build-up by introducing the Sprintfit into its website, as Thierry Henry splashes across the front page of the football section, with an ominous look and a new sense of determination. The website includes a football manifesto, which claims to give a players point of view about the new Reebok Sprintfit, but it is in the detail of the football boot that draws us in for closer examination.

Reebok Sprintfit Plus FG Football Boot Features and Options

• The Reebok Sprintfit will be available in moulded studs, mixed stud and blade, indoor and astroturf options, with the Sprintfit Plus FG expected to be the football boot of choice for the professional player.
• There will be a removable stud outsole for soft ground conditions of play.
• Stud pressure dispersion: dual density poron inserts in the heel and forefoot.
• Tejin microfibre upper
• Asymmetric lacing system
• Performance footbed anatomically contoured insole
• Heel counter: external anatomical protective support guard for heel protection, stability and support
• 2 piece outsole: split outsole to aid flexibility to support the natural movement of the foot.

Overall, the features that stand out again and again throughout the design, style and technology of the Reebok Sprintfit are that of anatomical design and natural performance. Reebok is hoping to mirror the attributes of its top players, Thierry Henry, Andriy Shevchenko and Ryan Giggs, all of whom are classed as the most naturally gifted of players in football in its new Sprintfit football boot. Our only point is that we would like to see Ryan Giggs in the new Reebok Sprintfit, who at the moment is absent from the website - too busy winning the premiership with Manchester United perhaps?!

The Reebok Sprintfit is expected to be seen for the first time this weekend, worn by Arsenal’s Thierry Henry and Chelsea’s Andriy Shevchenko injuries permitting, of course!

An integrated heel counter provides the stability, protection and comfort, whilst on the inside of the Reebok Sprintfit, the perforated ortholite arch uses a moisture management system that prevents friction, moisture and heat build up by offering maximum breathability.

New Reebok Sprintfit Football Boots Launched

Reebok has started to release details on the new Reebok Sprintfit football boot, which is to be worn by their sponsored players, including Thierry Henry, Andriy Shevchenko, Íker Casillas and Ryan Giggs. The Sprintfit design marks a departure for Reebok from the previous incarnation, the Reebok Pro Rage, and sees the new football boot take on an elegant and muted styling, which will be available in a range of colourways. Arsenal’s Thierry Henry is already said to be wearing the red colourway for Arsenal and blue when playing for France, and we await further details on the other Reebok players choices.

About the Reebok Sprintfit Football Boots

The Reebok Sprintfit is the lightest and most comfortable football boot that Reebok has ever produced, and is said to incorporate all the features required for the modern day professional footballer. Reebok have streamlined the football boot to remove any erroneous or inefficient parts to produce a quality football boot with the performance that is expected at this high level.

The new Sprintfit is produced using superior microfiber and impermeable Teijin to reduce weight and to produce the feeling of a lightweight football boot when it is worn to increase the player’s contact when striking the ball. This fiber also adds comfort due to its qualities of water resistance, its ability to “sweat” and retaining the shape of the football boot.

The Reebok Sprintfit has been designed to follow the anatomical contour of the foot to maximise the movement and flexibility when in use. Reebok has also taken on recent concerns on protection given by modern day football boots, by changing the design to increase levels of stability and protection. The woven exterior is used to control and to regulate the humidity and temperature within the boot, helping to reduced the the risk of blisters.

Reebok Players on the Sprintfit Football Boot

Arsenal’s Thierry Henry says “Sprintfit is definitely a boot for me. It has everything that I believe is important in a boot. It is comfortable and light. Reebok has obtained the perfect balance between weight, support and protection”. Chelsea’s Andriy Shevchenko focused on the flexibility and protection aspects, saying “Sprintfit adapts like no other boot that I have had, it is a simple design simple, but full of characteristics that help my game. It gives me more protection than other boots that I have used”.

Finally, Iker Casillas of Real Madrid said “the Sprintfit boots have very good stability, a characteristic that allows me to concentrate during the game without having to worry about the footwear. This is one of the most comfortable that I have ever had”.

The Reebok Sprintfit will be seen in action from May and will be available to buy from June with a RRP of £125.

Reebok asks: “Why hit the Wall? It hurts.”

Reebok football boot wearer Thierry Henry features in a new campaign about to be launched by Reebok, called “Run Easy”. The campaign message is that running should be about “enjoying the ride” and is deliberately placed to oppose the harder “pushing the limits” running ethos espoused by bitter rival, and running shoe pioneer Nike.

“It’s about time to make a bold stance and bring the fun back into running and invite consumers of all levels of athletic ability to participate,” said Uli Becker, Reebok chief marketing officer.

The first phase of the “Run Easy” movement will feature messages such as “Run + Puke + Run = Crazy” and “Why Hit the Wall? It Hurts” being backed up by a new website GoRunEasy.com. The website features, in Reebok’s words, a “mashup” between Reebok, Google maps and Flickr, letting visitors map out and share photos of their favourite running routes. Reebok is again using street-slang in a move to distance itself with Nike, and portray itself as being down with the kids of today. Quite.

Reebok’s Run Easy Video features Thierry Henry in a conversation running at “the speed of chat.” Not so much va-va-voom, more chug-chug-chat for the Arsenal striker!

Thierry Henry’s Injury Frustrations Bubble Over

Arsenal’s crocked striker Thierry Henry has revealed that being a spectator does not come easy for him. In an interview with The Sun, he said “I have not been watching much football because it is not nice to watch when you are injured. It does not make things any better. Being injured is not only frustrating but also boring — very, very boring. I can’t wait to get back on to the training pitch again.” Henry is out for the rest of the season due to his injuries and so must watch the action rather than be a part of it.

Although he is unable to promote his Reebok Pro Rage football boots on the pitch, his other sponsor Pepsi has been busy as Henry is about to star in a global campaign which will see him designing his own Pepsi can along with a host of other “celebrities”.

Pepsi believe their legendary player still has the sweetness of touch and taste for success in his footy boots, but like a can that’s been opened and left around too long, has Thierry Henry’s career lost its fizz?

Thierry Henry has only 50-50 chance of being fit to play this Wednesday

It seems we are going to have to wait a little longer to see Thierry Henry step out in his Reebok Pro Rage football boots, as his foot injury looks to be more serious than originally thought. Thierry Henry has been wearing the modified black football boots since January, yet since then fortune has been against him and his chances of playing this week in the Champions League are rated at “50-50” at best. Henry is suffering from inflammation to the ligaments of his foot and bruising. It seems to us that the Reebok football boot needs further work – maybe Reebok need to sit down and “modify” the football boot so it works harder to protect and enhance the player rather than focusing on how it looks and how many it sells?

Arsenal returned to winning ways at the weekend after a run of three straight defeats, including the Carling Cup loss to Chelsea, and look ahead to the crucial return tie against PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday.

Another Arsenal player having problems with his football boots this weekend was Cesc Fabregas wearing the Nike Air Legend. Facing an open goal he managed to strike the ball right-footed against his own left foot and then fell to the ground in disbelief! He rounded off an otherwise excellent performance by flicking the ball into his own net for an own goal with three minutes to go. Some work to do for Nike and Reebok then!

Reebok confirm that Thierry Henry does wear the Reebok Pro Rage.

Statement from Reebok

“The boots that Thierry Henry is currently wearing are Pro Rage football boots that have been slightly modified to Thierry’s specific individual requirements, as the majority of professional player’s boots are.

The retail football boot contains the same technologies as Thierry’s version, such as the external TPU heel counter cradle, griptonite and the same sole plate technology and is also worn by Andriy Shevchenko, Ryan Giggs and Iker Casillas.”

Our thanks to Reebok for clarifying the issue.
