Leipzig Photoshop Puma Logo on Xavi Simons Announcement Picture

While the photos themselves may seem unremarkable, keen-eyed fans quickly noticed that Puma's logo had been photoshopped onto Adidas X Speedportal shoes. Oddly, the legs and feet of the Xavi Simons picture are certainly not those of the Dutch youngster, who had never laced up in the Adidas X Heatspwan Pack.

Instead, Xavi Simons had been wearing New Balance football boots for the last phase of the 2022-23 season, but now Xavi Simons had just signed with Puma. BLeipzig is doing a favor to Puma by adding their logo on their shoes, although they are sponsored by Nike. But why? The reason is simple.
