Leaving Nike? Mauro Icardi Trains in Unbranded Blackout Boots
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.
