The suede set possesses a striking appearance and showcases a lightning bolt design on the rear.
He now possesses two sets of renowned boots that complement his skill, provided by New Balance.
Saka unveiled his collaboration with the sports firm on Instagram, showcasing both pairs of boots from various perspectives.
One pair consists of suede material in a burgundy colour, with a rainbow-like design on one side where the New Balance emblem seamlessly merges with shades of orange and pink.
The tattoos display the phrase ‘God’s Child’ and depict hands engaged in prayer, along with a religious figure raising their palms towards the sun.
Both the boots and the blue pair include a lightning strike emblem on the heel.
The boots showcase two depictions of Saka himself donning Arsenal’s number seven, accompanied by the phrase ‘Kid with a dream’.
In addition, the exhibit includes a Hale End road sign, paying tribute to the Arsenal academy where Saka honed his skills for a significant period of time.
Saka enrolled in the Gunners program at the age of seven and has since seen a rapid and impressive ascent, establishing himself as a consistent player for both his club and national team.
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”.
