Class Act | Mario Götze To Auction #RefugeesWelcome Nike Magista Obra Boots
Sep 20, 2015, by Chris
This is class. FC Bayern Munich striker Mario Götze laced up in special pair of the Hyper Turquoise Nike Magista Obra Boots in the Champions League match against Olympiakos and in the Bundesliga match against Darmstadt to support the integration of refugees.
Bayern Munich beat newly promoted Bundesliga club SV Darmstadt 98 with ease to go three points clear of arch rivals Borussia Dortmund, who will face Bayer 04 Leverkusen in today's Bundesliga clash. But it were Mario Götze's Nike Magista Obra Cleats that caught our attention.
Mario Götze Boots Feature #RefugeesWelcome in support of refugees
Mario Götze shows off his special Hyper Turquoise Nike Magista Obra Cleats.
Mario Götze published an image of his special Nike Magista Obra featuring the slogan #RefugeesWelcome ahead of yesterday's Bundesliga match on social media to make sure that his message will get the attention it needs after he already debuted the boots in Wednesday's CL clash against Olympiakos.
But Mario Götze did not only show of his special Nike Magista Obra Soccer Cleats, he also announced that his boots will be auctioned at the end of September.
"Away game at unbeaten Darmstadt and we want three points," wrote Gotze on his Facebook account. "I'm gonna play with my #refugeeswelcome shoes again, which will be auctioned at the end of September."
Mario Götze already auctioned his world cup winning Nike Magista Obra Boots in December 2014. And while his famous Volt Nike Magista Obra Boots worn against Argentina raised raised €2m, it would be awesome if his Hyper Turquoise Nike Magista Obra Boots can even approximately achieve a similar sum.
Pure class. Mario Götze has once again shown that he looks beyond the horizon of his life as a professional footballer, although he is often criticized for his excessive advertising activities.
