Banega Wears Extraordinary Socks In 2018 Supercopa Against FC Barcelona - Here Is What They Are
If you watched yesterday's 2018 Supercopa de España between FC Barcelona and Sevilla you might have noticed that Sevilla midfielder Ever Banega was wearing special-looking socks. We find out which socks Ever Banega had been wearing.
Ever Banega Wears Gravity Grip Anti-Slip Pro Socks
Banega's socks are made by Gravity Grip Gear Limited, a relatively new company from the Netherlands that makes revolutionary sports socks made to get that competitive edge in a players' advantage. Ever Banega cut the socks of the Sevilla kit in order to be able to use his preferred socks.
Banega's socks are called Gravity PRO with Gravity-Grip Technology. They feature Gravity-Grip Technology with grip pads inside and outside of the sock make sure your foot will be directly attached to your footwear and eliminate slippage completely, similar to the socks of well-known company TruSox.
When the gripping pads get wet by either perspiration or rain the Gravity-Grip Technology activates, which means the gripping effect, gets even better under harsh circumstances.
The Gravity PRO sock also contains two breathability zones on the instep of the foot to cool and dry the feet and to support wicking moisture away. A rubber band on mid-foot is added which stops the sock from rolling or folding within the footwear and it supports the arch of the foot.
Ever Banega already wore the socks in the 2018 World Cup. In total, players from seven different cuntries wore the socks of the company in the 2018 World Cup, according to stats of the company.
The Gravity PRO socks retail at 35 Euro.

Mexico Ruins Retro EQT Jacket with Sponsor Placement
The Adidas Mexico 2026 World Cup EQT track jacket has officially made its real-world debut, but the on-player reality has left many fans disappointed, as highlighted by Tigres and Mexico kit experts @TigersJersey.
While the core design faithfully recreates the iconic 1990s Equipment aesthetic with its bold black, green, white, and red color-blocking, the Mexican Football Federation has plastered the front of the garment with corporate sponsors. The logos for AT&T, Amazon, Coca-Cola, and Caliente.mx have been heavily applied across the midsection, disrupting the 3 bars.
This is surely because of sponsor guidelines and contracts, but they should have find a better solution here.
