Falcao’s special edition boots come with designer watches. Price? $40K

image

Falcao has teamed up with Puma and official World Cup timekeepers Hublot for a consumer deal of a lifetime. The new Monaco signing’s special edition EvoSpeed boots are designed to accompany a limited edition line of designer watches, Falcao-approved of course.

There are two types of bundles: the “King Gold” watch costs a cool $40,000; the “Unico Titanium” is priced at a more “reasonable” $17,000.

Here’s the official description:

“Only 100 pieces are available; 60 titanium and 40 King Gold priced at US$17,000 and US$40,000. Working with Hublot, Puma have created an evoSPEED 1.2 colourway for each watch, numbered 1-60 and 1-40, and the concept was first presented at the Basel Watch fair.

“The lateral side of the boot bears no secondary branding, and have been left blank so each will be personally signed by Falcao. The boots will only be available with each watch sold, and come together in a unique casing.”

Well then! Excuse me while I rush to grab one of these…not.

Style has never been a problem for David Beckham.

On the eve of his final home match as a professional soccer player, Beckham announced he will be lacing up these custom boots for Paris Saint-Germain’s match against Brestois. He has partnered up with adidas to create these and it’s clear that they are carrying some signature Beckham style.

Beckham announced his decision on Facebook stating:

I wanted to show the passion I had playing for my country and the pride that gave me during my career. You also see the names of Victoria and the kids which have always been there on my boots.”

Looks like Mario Balotelli’s got some new boots. These custom made kicks come courtesy of Portuguese artist Mr.Dheo. If his $240,000 camouflage-wrapped Bentley wasn’t a big enough hint that he likes the camo, these certainly get the point across.

It remains to be seen whether he’ll don them for AC Milan’s match this weekend, here’s hoping he does, but these boots will do anything but blend in.

Saint-Étienne striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang recently turned heads during a Ligue 1 match earlier in the week by wearing diamond-encrusted soccer boots, this according to the Mail.

The Gabonese-French football customized his green Nike Vapors which contained 4,000 Swarovski crystals. Aubameyang’s cleats reportedly cost over $4,000. Wowzas!

No word yet if the fashion police hit Saint-Étienne’s headquarters during the week.
