Bendtner was the first professional to wear pink football boots on 26 November 2008 scoring the goal that sent Arsenal into the Champions League knockout stage. It caused quite a storm 7 years ago when Nicklas Bendtner laced up in the eye-catching boots, and he even gave an interview to explain he story behind his pink football boots.

Nicklas Bendtner laced up in the bold Hyper Pink Nike Mercurial Superfly in in the German Super Cup Final against Bayern Munich on August 1, and scored the equalizer and the winning penalty to beat the German Bundesliga champions. Pink football boots are somewhat Bendtner's signature paint job.

The Danish striker now published a picture of his Berry Nike Mercurial Vapor Cleats and his Hyper Pink Nike Mercurial Superfly Lightning Storm Pack Boots, and he just wanted to make clear that he has the power to create trends with the following message.

"People made fun 5 years ago, when I was wearing these. Now everyone is wearing them."

In fact, almost all Nike Mercurial athletes including Alexis Sanchez, Hazard and Arturo Vidal are now wearing the Hyper Pink Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots after Nike launched the eye-catching Nike Lightning Storm Boots Pack in mid-July 2015.
