Oct 2, 2024, by Chris
- Potential New Balance Deal: Michael Olise is likely to sign with New Balance, indicated by him training in their boots and receiving lifestyle gear.

- No Nike Contract: Olise has not had a Nike contract for several years and has been using blackout boots in matches.
Michael Olise, the new Bayern Munich star, could soon announce a new boot supplier.
Olise Trains in Whiteout New Balance Tekela V4+ Mid-Cut Boots
Olise has been seen in training wearing whiteout camouflaged New Balance Tekela V4+ boots, a major shift from his usual choice. Olise has long been associated with the Nike Hypervenom Phantom III, which he’s worn consistently since his early days at Reading.
Michael Olise has no Nike contract
Michael Olise has had no Nike contract for several years and, therefore, wore blackout boots in matches.
Footy Headlines knows that Olise has already received New Balance lifestyle gear, signaling that a contract with the brand is likely on the horizon. However, one potential obstacle is his deep-rooted loyalty to the Nike Hypervenom III, a boot he has never strayed from. Transitioning to a new brand after such consistency could be a big adjustment for the 22-year-old.
Do you think Olise will complete the switch for his beloved Nike Hypervenom 3 soccer cleats? Let us know in the comments below.
