Should Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero become an FA Cup final hero in two weeks time he will do so wearing boots unlike any other previously seen on an English pitch.
This Saturday until the end of this season the speedy Argentinean will debut a trailer boot from Puma called the evoSPEED 1.2 CAMO, a seriously eye-catching pink affair that is sure to prompt extreme reaction from supporters.
Footballers adorning brightly coloured boots are a serious bugbear for some. The Cutter however believes players can wear laced up gladioli as long as they put in 100% and though the design is a touch…garish, these boots are state of the frickin’ art. The foot is housed in a flexible cage that increases stability, the microfiber uppers are softer than an average pen at Old Trafford, while the Griptex print gives a better touch and feel for the ball.
But enough about the technology, just how magnificently manic are the colours! It takes a brave man to pull pink off at the best of times – in front of thirty thousand Welshman at Swansea’s Liberty Stadium there could be a riot. Then again, when they look this good, perhaps not.
