New Balance has released two new custom boots for Arsenal star Bukayo Saka.
A celebration of past and present, the special edition Furon v6+ boots are created in tribute to Sakaโs childhood football memories and to mark his incredible rise.
The boots feature a custom colourway, courtesy of London artist, Feyi Badejo. Known for his innovative use of colour and graphic style, Badejoโs palette created a unique backdrop for the Furons.
In addition to the bespoke colour application, Badejo has also created a piece of art to commemorate the England internationalโs first signature boots.
Both designs will incorporate Bukayoโs bespoke insignia – derived from his initials and his beloved number seven shirt, the new emblem incorporates red accents; a nod to the talented wingerโs Little Chilli nickname and his off-field energy.
Speaking on the reveal Bukayo Saka said โIโm so happy to have my own design, it really is a dream come true. Working with New Balance and Feyi Badejo to turn my ideas into art was such a fun experience, I canโt wait to wear the boots we created togetherโ.
Bukayo will debut the first pair of boots while playing for Arsenal against Leicester City (today) at the Emirates on 13th March and the second pair for England vs Switzerland on the 26th March
