Jun 25, 2016, by Pat
Granit Xhaka and Under Armour are back at it again as the US brand has supplied the Switzerland midfielder with yet another pair of completely unique soccer cleats for the Euro 2016 game against Poland.
Granit Xhaka's Boots Against Poland
Based on the Under Armour ClutchFit Force 2.0 soccer cleats, initiailly launched in late 2015, Xhaka's boots were hand-painted by well-known boots customizer Kickasso, who's worked together on many similar jobs with other players and stores before.
Granit Xhaka said the following on the black-and-gold boots he is wearing against Poland: "My favorite artist [JUEL] who is a master of Egyptian hieroglyphics. His artistic combination of art and ancient language is so inspiring. The past sets the tone for the future.”

Gabriel Jesus To Leave Adidas?
In his latest training sessions and first official game in Barcelona colors, Gabriel Jesus was spotted wearing a pair of black-painted F50 boots - a sign that he might be leaving Adidas.
His 'black' cleats are actually the laceless F50 2026 'Born for Goals', released earlier this year. The fact that they are painted shows that Jesus is currently at the last days of his contract with the brand, and could be looking for new partner.
Do you want to see Gabriel Jesus continue with Adidas, or to join a new brand? Let us know in the comments.
