New Balance and Bukayo Saka drop artist designed boot

11 MARCH 22 New Balance has today released two new custom boots for Arsenal star #bukayosaka.

A celebration of past and present, the special edition Furon v6+ boots are created in tribute to Saka’s childhood football memories and to mark his incredible rise.

The boots feature a custom colourway, courtesy of London artist, #feyibadejo. Known for his innovative use of colour and graphic style, Badejo’s 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 international’s first signature boots.

Both designs will incorporate Bukayo’s bespoke insignia - derived from his initials and his beloved number seven shirt, the new emblem incorporates red accents; a nod to the talented winger’s Little Chilli nickname and his off-field energy.

Speaking on the reveal #bukayosaka said “I’m so happy to have my own #design, it really is a dream come true. Working with #newbalance and #feyibadejo to turn my ideas into art was such a fun experience, I can’t wait to wear the boots we created together”.

Bukayo will debut the first pair of boots while playing for Arsenal against Leicester City at the Emirates on 13^th March and the second pair for England vs Switzerland on the 26^th March
