André Gomes Opts for the Classic in First Barcelona Training
Update: Perhaps even sooner than expected, André Gomes was back wearing his usual Nike Magista Obra II boots in the second training of the day. It was fun while it lasted.
Returning from holidays to join his first-ever training at his new club Barcelona, Portuguese midfielder André Gomes took the field in a pair of classic Nike Premier boots, instead of his usual choice, the Magista Obra.
André Gomes Trains in Nike Premier Boots
Predominantly black and featuring a white sole plate and brandings, the Nike Premier has to be the brand's most traditional football boot. It has a part kangaroo-, part goat-leather upper and retails at a mere $130. It can be likened to the Tiempo in terms of features, designs and material.
André Gomes, who joined from Valencia, is a regular of the Nike Magista line and laced up in the recently unveiled Magista Obra II for his presentation at the club. It is expected that he will return to those boots shortly, possibly already in the next training. Make sure to keep an eye on Gomes' boots as he prepares for his debut with the club, set to take place in the Joan Gamper Trophy against Sampdoria on Wednesday.
