Pedro Neto to Join Mizuno?
- Pedro Neto Switches to Mizuno Boots: Chelsea winger Pedro Neto was observed wearing Mizuno Alpha III Japan boots during pre-season training on August 3rd, a departure from his long-standing use of Nike Mercurial Superfly boots.
- Potential End of Nike Sponsorship: Neto's temporary switch to Mizuno boots suggests that his sponsorship contract with Nike might have concluded, leading him to explore different boot brands for the upcoming season.
- Mizuno Deal Remains Uncertain: Despite the sighting, Pedro Neto returned to wearing Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 boots in training just one day later, indicating that a potential deal with Mizuno is far from confirmed.
Chelsea winger Pedro Neto has been spotted wearing Mizuno Alpha III Japan boots during pre-season training ahead of the 26-27 season. The Portuguese forward, who has traditionally worn Nike Mercurial Superfly boots throughout his career, made the switch on 3 August.
Pedro Neto Spotted in Mizuno Alpha III Boots
The Mizuno Alpha III is the Japanese brand's flagship synthetic speed boot, engineered for ultra-lightweight performance while also offering comfort. Neto ditching his usual Nike Mercurials indicates that his sponsorship contract with Nike may have ended, prompting him to test alternative boot options ahead of the new campaign.
However, Pedro Neto laced up in the latest Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 football boots in training one day later again, so a Mizuno deal is anything but certain.
