For over a decade, Toni Kroos has been donning the same iconic pair of Adidas adiPURE 11Pro boots with the white and blue leather design.
Imagine our surprise when on Thursday, April 4, the German midfielder showed up at Real Madrid training sporting new shoes.
Then
Now
Having won the World Cup and four Champions League titles with Madrid in those blue-laced boots, it begs the question: why the change? We can only guess.
But the fans are not exactly happy about it.
🗣 Mehedi Hassan: "Arrest Adidas. We don’t really need this kind of jinxing right now por favor."
🗣 TheXabiEra: "Right before facing City? It's scary to be honest."
🗣 Kaos: "Ima need Toni to put back on the old shoes ASAP. I mean, what is this? Getting new ones before the biggest game of this season?"
🗣 GoldRMCF: "Please, we want the old one against against City."
Some Madridistas can be a bit superstitious, don't you think? After all, it's still the same boots, just a different colour.
Besides, he could be using these exclusively for training and will face the Manchester City side in his regular ones.
