Podolski Wears Nike Phantom GT Total 90-Inspired Boots In First Match In 2022
In the first match of 2022 with Polish club Górnik Zabrze, Lukas Podolski did not lace up in Adidas cleats. Instead, he opted for the Nike Total 90 II Inspired Nike Phantom Venom 'Future DNA' 2020 boots.
In the last match of 2021, Podolski wore the Adidas X Speedflow Whitespark boots.
Podolski signed a big contract with Adidas in 2010, valid for six years. We expect his latest contract with the Three Stripes expired on December 31, 2021.
Podolski is now a free athlete
It is very unlikely that Podolski signed with Nike. Instead, it is pretty certain that he is now free to choose what to wear. Podolski laced up in different Adidas boots in 2022 training.
