And thanks to New Balance, he now owns two pairs of legendary boots to match his skill.
Saka showcased both pairs of boots from every angle on Instagram when he revealed his collaboration with the athletic brand.
One pair is made of suede with burgundy as the main color, and the New Balance logo is blended in with orange and pink on one side, creating a rainbow effect.
They bear the words ‘God’s Child’ and depict hands in prayer along with a figure with a religious appearance raising his hands to the sun.
Both the blue pair and the boots have a lightning strike emblazoned on the heel.
Those boots feature two images of Saka himself wearing Arsenal’s number seven and feature the words ‘Kid with a dream’.
They also feature a Hale End road sign – a homage to the Arsenal academy where Saka learned his trade for several years.
Saka joined the Gunners academy aged seven and has since enjoyed a meteoric rise, becoming a regular for both club and country.
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 Bukayo Saka said “I’m 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 can’t wait to wear the boots we created together”.
