Update: Back in November 2020 everything indicated that Sterling would seen be an official ambassador of American sportswear brand New Balance, but a lot has changed since then as the English-born Jamaican is wearing custom blacked-out Nike Phantom Venom boots right now. However, we want to take a closer look at the amazing completely custom New Balance cleats Sterling wore previously.

Sterling Wears Whiteout New Balance Furon v6 Boots In Champion League
Sterling laced up in a whiteout version of the New Balance Furon v6 football boots - there are no brandings visible, the sole plate is almost completely black.
There have been no rumors yet that Sterling could join New Balance, but the fact that he laced up in the brand's boots in an official match makes it relatively likely that he will sign a deal with New Balance.
As always, watch out for Raheem Sterling's boots in the next matches.
