Sergio Agüero Wears Strange Socks - Here Is All You Need To Know
Mar 16, 2019, by Chris
If you watched some of Manchester City's recent matches, you surely have noticed the socks of Sergio Aguero. We take a closer look at the experiments Kun Aguero made with his socks in the past few months.
Sergio Agüero Cuts Off Socks On Top & Bottom
Sergio Aguero cut off his socks both on the bottom and the top in order to reduce the height of them - his socks just cover the shin pads and nothing more. Therefore, his socks are much lower and also do not feature the gradient on the top.
Agüero in January 2019
It was by not the first time that Sergio Agüero stood out with his socks style - he has been using socks upside down in January 2019.
The reason for Aguero for cutting off his socks is very likely that it gives him more freedom while also reducing calf pressure.
In case you are wondering, Sergio Agüero's team mate Kyle Walker is still wearing socks with holes to reduce pressure on his calves. He switched boot silos (from the Mercurial and to both the Phantom VSN / Phantom VNM), however.
