adidas Predator Gold (David Beckham)

With Fanatic this Saturday, and the MLS All-Star game tonight, soccer is the topic of choice here at Complex HQ.

Posh Spice’s boy, David Beckham will lace up these low-run gold-dipped Predators’ in tonight’s game, a special make-up color way that was made exclusively for Becks’ trillion-dollar feet. Eurosport is stocking 2,000 pairs of the boots, and Dick’s Sporting Goods is shelving take-down versions with lower price points, if you’re footballin’ on a budget. Check for more shots after the jump.

5 David Beckham Goals Worth Celebrating

Looks like soccer icon David Beckham’s best years might not be completely behind him. After retiring from Real Madrid, it didn’t seem like competing with the B and C level talent in the MLS would be much of a challenge for Becks. Even with the L.A. Galaxy throwing $250 million big ones his way to spark America’s interest in futbol, he’s kept a pretty low profile (aside from going to Lakers games).

But we (like Kansas City) were stumped this weekend when Beckham capped off the 3-1 beating with a 70-yard half field goal straight from ’96. The KC Wizards should have known better than to leave their goal more exposed than a socialite’s cooch with the veteran footballer around. The impressive play had us reminicing on some of Becks’ other great goals from his 16 year career. Watch 5 of the best (including his most recent feat) after the jump.

PF Flyers Albin

Tied 2-2 and on the verge of an embarrassing upset, the Celtics might want to channel Bob Cousy, quick. Speaking of Cousy, if you thought PF Flyers was on the one-and-done tip when it came to solid kicks this season, look no further than this Albin model. The upper is tricked out with wrinkled Italian leather, and PF played just-the-tip with some patent leather. Becks has even been rocking them courtside to Lakers games. Yup, they’re thatttt cool.

David Beckham Has The Golden Touch

Here’s more proof that it doesn’t suck to be David Beckham. Beck’s English teammates hooked him up with an engraved golden iPod Touch to thank the international soccer-star for appearing in his 100th national cap. Beckham is just the fourth English player to be inducted into the 100 club, and is on pace in his career to become the most-capped player in England’s history. Reportedly the English squad dropped over $1,188 on the one-of-a-kind portable music player for their resilient leader. Besides flossing the uber-swanky gadget, DB now has something in common with this gold-loving gadget geek.
