With another Premier League season in the can, Manchester City have retained the title for the first time to complete a domestic treble and make some history in English football.<\/p>\n

But just what brand has seen the most exposure across yards of turf? And which footballing boot has been the pick of the players? Goal <\/strong> takes a look at the facts and figures…<\/p>\n According to website\u00a0 FootballBootsDB , one name has dominated the boot battle this season in the prime tier of the game in England – Nike <\/strong> .<\/p>\n The\u00a0Oregon-based apparel company saw their range worn by 267 players in the Premier League across 2018-19, a whopping 56.3 percent of all individuals.<\/p>\n That outguns their nearest rival Adidas by over an additional 20 percent, with the German manufacturers commanding a 39.5 share overall.<\/p>\n The pair’s dominance however means that less than a twentieth of all remaining boots are come from other brands.<\/p>\n For example, only three players at Manchester City wore neither Nike or Adidas this season, with Vincent Kompany, David Silva and Sergio Aguero all plumping for Puma.<\/p>\n Likewise, Liverpool’s squad only features a quartet without the studs\u00a0two sportswear giants, with Trent Alexander-Arnold playing in Under Armour and Sadio Mane opting for New Balance.<\/p>\n Three separate\u00a0brands sat atop the eventual individual Golden Boot standings, with Mane joined by team-mate Mohamed Salah and his pair of Adidas, alongside Arsenal’s\u00a0Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the Nike.<\/p>\n The Gunners forward happens to be the rare exception to the rule in sporting the Portland business’ shoes; they are the only team in the Premier League where Nike do not dominate the dressing room, with Adidas out on top at the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n There\u2019s one winner head and shoulders above the rest in the Premier League for the most worn boot and it\u2019s a doozy \u2013 the Nike Mercurial <\/strong> .<\/p>\n Also worn on the continent by luminaries such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, it stands out as the only shoe worn by more than a hundred players in the top flight, with 101 individuals sporting them this season.<\/p>\n They alone accounts for just over a fifth of all boots sported in the top flight, meaning, on average, at least five players in any given game will be wearing them.<\/p>\n Big name players wearing them include Chelsea striker Eden Hazard, Manchester City forward Leroy Sane, Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson and Manchester United’s Anthony Martial.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
