To match its team kit, the Nike Air Max 2012 could compliment either the away or home setup.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Russia<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Shoe:<\/strong> adidas LA Trainer<\/p>\n<p>As the favorites to win Group A in Euro 2012, Russia looks to use its suffocating defense on its way to a title. Matching the kit is the adidas LA Trainer, rocking a low-cut design with a black base accompanied by red, white and blue accents that match the nation?s colors.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Czech Republic<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Shoe:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shop.puma.com\/Bolt-Lite-Low-Sneakers\/pna352988,en_US,pd.html&amp;cgid=23110#!i%3D1%26color%3D06%26size%3DUS_7\" target=\"_blank\">PUMA Bolt Lite Low<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Czech Republic may not be one to be feared by looking at its ranking but when checking out the roster, they possess dark horse potential coming out of Group A. The Puma Bolt Lite Low matches perfectly with the Czech prideful red that resonates on the jersey.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Greece<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Shoe:<\/strong> adidas Athletic 2.0<\/p>\n<p>Projected by most to finish as the runner-up of Group A, Greece wants to prove it can hang with the best in Europe.

Going along with the fiery theme is this Nike Free 3.0. Dressed in the Dutch-themed orange, the Free 3.0 holds the same eye-grabbing attention as the Dutch kit.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Denmark<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Shoe:<\/strong> adidas Samba<\/p>\n<p>Nicknamed ?The Group of Death&#8221;, Denmark looks to make a run with the best of them.

Boasting a Top 10 ranking, Croatia looks to experience hoisting the trophy high in the air at the end of Euro 2012. Complementing the jersey and style of play Croatia brings is the Nike Free Trainer 5.0 in an eye-grabbing blue base with a white midsole.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Ukraine<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Shoe:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/kicksdeals.com\/2012\/05\/28\/adidas-busenitz-bluebird\/\" target=\"_blank\">adidas Busenitz &#8220;Bluebird&#8221;<\/a><br \/>\nAs the other host nation, Ukraine looks to stand its ground and defend home turf.

It&#8217;s available at a great price as well.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>Sweden<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Shoe:<\/strong> Nike LunarEclipse+ 2<br \/>\nSweden isn&#8217;t only known for manufacturing super models; it&#8217;s a pretty stout soccer team as well. Matching the kit of the Scandinavian country is the bombshell Nike LunarEclipse+ 2 in a jaw-dropping yellow color scheme.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>France<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Shoe:<\/strong> Nike Free Run+ 3<br \/>\nFrance looks to taste the same success as they did in &#8217;98 when they won the World Cup on home soil. Owning the same navy blue, this Nike Free Run 3 matches the preppy style of the French jerseys.<br \/>\n<!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h3>England<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Shoe:<\/strong> Nike Free 3.0<br \/>\nThe English squad may be depleted of superstars but they?re deep enough to become Euro 2012 champions.
