Man Utd star Pogba teams up with Adidas to create first ever vegan football boot
Manchester United ace Paul Pogba has teamed up with Adidas and fashion designer Stella McCartney to help create the first ever 100 per cent vegan football boot.
The limited-edition boot, which is priced at €280 (£236), is gender neutral and blends the distinct design and innovation of McCartney with the flair and elite-performance requirements of Pogba.
The latest performance innovations from Adidas' famous Predator franchise closely analyses materials and components to ensure they meet both vegan and elite-performance standards.
Pogba played a key part in the new boot's development stage and has branded the new design concept "bold" and "unique".
"I am a footballer first and foremost, but I have a huge interest in fashion and design and I've always wanted to explore this further," the France international said.
"This collaboration has been particularly special for me because I've been a fan of Stella McCartney's work for a long time, so when we came together for The Huddle last year and had this idea, it felt like the perfect opportunity to create something.

"It was in the middle of lockdown and I was missing playing football so much, so it was an incredible feeling to be able to focus on something that combines my love for the game with my passion for style. The boots we created with adidas are bold and unique, and I can't wait to wear them when I step onto the pitch."
McCartney added: "Since the start of my collaboration with adidas, we've continued to push the boundaries in high-fashion and performance wear so it's incredibly exciting to be expanding into the world of football with the superstar athlete Paul Pogba.
"Last year during lockdown, adidas brought Paul and I together for The Huddle which is where this idea was first born. Hearing how passionate he was about fashion and learning how much we had in common really sparked the inspiration for co-creating this iconic boot.
"One comment that stuck with me was how fashion was part of his personality both on and off the pitch, so it was important for this to shine through in the design.
