On His Way Out? Thiago Alcántara Wears Blackout Nike Phantom Venom Cleats During North West Derby
Update #2: Last night, Thiago started for Liverpool against league leaders Manchester United. The game itself was a close affair with an edge for United who almost broke Liverpool's home record, but it was not the footballing performance that caught our eye: Thiago Alcántara continues to surprise by wearing blackout Nike Phantom Venom cleats against Manchester United. The fact that Thiago does not endorse Nike in official games anymore makes a potential brand switch even more likely. Keep your eyes peeled.
Update: Thiago Alcântara has been spotted training in a pair of the yellow and red Adidas F50 Adizero II Leather football boots from 2012 in yesterday's training. He is still wearing the Nike Phantom Venom in official matches.
