Leaving Nike? Mauro Icardi Trains in Unbranded Blackout Boots
Aug 15, 2018, by Pat
Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi has prompted speculation that he could be about to leave Nike after wearing a pair of blacked-out boots in training recently.
Icardi, who joined Nike shortly after his transfer to Inter - he had been wearing Adidas cleats before - laced up in what was identified as a pair of blackout Hypervenom GX boots. Icardi was won of a few select Nike forwards who promoted the special-edition boots back in last October.
This latest spot could mean that Icardi is indeed about to move to another brand or that he just prefers the silky k-leather touch of the Hypervenom GX. It will be key to to see which boots Icardi will choose for Inter's Serie A opener, away to Sassuolo on Sunday evening.
