Now that we've talked about how you could take your golf skills to another level, it's time to discuss a real sport (just kidding): football. The Beautiful Game has changed tremendously over the past few years, and that's largely due to the technology being used to make soccer equipment lighter, faster and smarter. This, of course, includes balls, footwear and other gear that's meant to help you improve your attributes on the field -- like the Adidas miCoach Smart Ball, for example. But it's not all about the players, young or old, since parents play a big role in the development process of their loved ones. As such, it's very important for them to save memories of their kids as they're growing up, both on and off the field. With that said, let's take a look at some items that might be suited for you, shall we?

For the player: Footwear
Soccer cleats have come a long way since the old days. Companies like Nike, Under Armour and Adidas are now using completely new, somewhat revolutionary designs that make the shoes lighter and a perfect fit for your feet.
- Nike Magista Obra FG and Mercurial Superfly FG ($275): Featuring a new Flyknit technology, these colorful boots are designed to be extremely lightweight and comfortable. The more you wear them, the more they will mold to the shape of your foot. There are also indoor options of these, in case you prefer a more fast-paced game. Just as well, you can customize them to your liking via the Nike iD website.
- Under Armour ClutchFit Force FG ($175): If you're looking for a more traditional option, this pair may be a great fit for you. Under Armour uses its new ClutchFit technology on this model, which is supposed to act as a second skin of sorts. Similar to Nike's options, the ClutchFit Force FG are available in a variety of colors too.
