David Beckham Match Worn Issued Predator Powerswerve
Match Prepared / Issued Beckham Powerswerve for September and October of the 2009 LA Galaxy season, unworn.
The Upper:
- This is one of two ClimaCool Powerswerve editions that were produced exclusively for David Beckham, made to his exact specifications, much different than retail versions
- The upper uses a lightweight synthetic material, a preference for signature Beckham boots
- If you look closely along the outside and inside of the top half of the boots, the stitching pattern uses double reinforcement throughout the boots compared to the retail models. Extra stitching was a preference Beckham had on all of his Powerswerve models
- A ClimaCool insole and mesh material for the sock liner was used
- Both boots feature elongated tongues, a staple of Beckham's custom boots. The tongue is about 1.5x the size of retail models
- The right boot features a large LA Galaxy crest on the tongue. The left boot has the signature Beckham logo
- Both heel feature his kids names, "Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz" printed on
- The left heel features a USA flag outlined in Gold, the #23, and "DB" "V" in script
- The right heel features an England flag outlined in Gold, the #23, and "DB" "V" in script
The Sole Plate:
- This is a SG sole plate that was similar to the specs of retial Powerswerves
- Beckham's insoles do not feature the PowerPulse "sand" element, instead they are shaved flat. There isn't an insert for the PowerPulse element on the sole plate, a custom spec for Beckham
- As for sizing, it appears Beckham used around a 9-9.5UK or 9.5-10US throughout his career, depending on the boots. However, they don't fit like traditional sizing would as they are custom molded to his foot
