At the feet of Zlatan: all the boots wore by Ibrahimović From the PUMA King to the Future 5.1, passing through Vapor and the Superfly
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is experiencing a second youth. The Swede has often repeated that he is exactly like Benjamin Button, beautifully portrayed by Brad Pitt in David Fincher's 2008 film. At the ripe old age of 39, the technical and charismatic leader of AC Milan still surprises with his ability to control the game and the his body, endowed with feet that have enchanted fans from all over the world. The size of his feet has in many cases helped Ibra, who with his 47 is not the first in the ranking of players with the longest feet. His primacy is stolen from him, coincidentally, by his Inter colleague Romelu Lukaku (47.5). Nothing to do with the 44 of CR7, the 43 of Francesco Totti, the 42 of Messi and Beckham, the 40 of Baggio and Neymar and even with the 39 of Maradona and Pele.
Although Ibra is always associated with the swoosh, at the foot of the owner of the Hammarby there have been 23 different models during his career as a sports nomad, alternating between PUMA, Nike and adidas. Zlatan has played in the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, France and the US, has participated in two world championships (2002 and 2006), four Europeans (2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016) and each period of his career corresponds to a model of football boots which helped make him a hero.
2001 - 2006
From the mosaics of Manchester to the palm trees of Los Angeles. The transition from rainy England to warm California does not coincide with a change of shoes: at the first with the Galaxy, Ibra is wearing a Vapor XI in the colorway of the Fire Pack, while she will complete the 2018-19 season with the new Vapor XII - yes, the ones that unfortunately he tramples on Michael Petrasso, remedying a slap. This brings us to the last and controversial season at Milan, not so much for the results as for the shoes. Ibra, who has never stopped being a Nike athlete, both in training with the Rossoneri and in training with his Hammarby, wore a pair of completely black PUMAs, before making his debut with Milan with the Vapor XIII on his foot and then mysteriously switch to the PUMA Future 5.1.
