New Balance Unveils Custom Boots for Arsenal Star Bukayo Saka, a Tribute to His Journey and Talents
New Balance has recently launched two unique custom boots in honor of Bukayo Saka, the rising star of Arsenal. The special edition Furon v6+ boots serve as a celebration of Saka’s childhood football memories and his remarkable journey to success.
These boots feature an image of Saka himself, paying homage to his roots and his development at the Hale End academy. The blue pair is adorned with the words ‘Kid with a dream,’ while the personalized red pair showcases a lightning bolt design.
Saka took to Instagram to announce his partnership with New Balance, proudly displaying every angle of the two sets of boots. The suede burgundy pair incorporates vibrant colors, including an orange and pink blend, along with the words ‘God’s Child’ and religious imagery.
Both designs prominently display Saka wearing Arsenal’s number seven jersey. They also incorporate Saka’s bespoke insignia, a combination of his initials and the number seven, with red accents symbolizing his Little Chilli nickname and energetic personality off the field.
Reflecting on the collaboration, Bukayo Saka expressed his excitement, stating, “I’m thrilled to have my own design. It truly is a dream come true. Working with New Balance and Feyi Badejo to transform my ideas into art was an incredibly enjoyable experience. I can’t wait to wear the boots we created together.”
