Here is a close-up picture of the boots worn by Higuaín.

Juventus forward Gonzalo Higuaín has become the first player to wear the unreleased Nike Hypervenom GX football boots in their full glory, joining Inter Milan's Mauro Icardi who had sported a (partial) blackout earlier. Thanks to @chikoulat for the hint.

For these limited-edition Nike boots, inspired by the 1997 Air GX - a sort of predecessor for the Total 90 and Hypervenom lines, it makes perfect sense to have them worn by the best strikers in Italy.

The 1997 Air GX was produced at the famous Montebelluna, Italy, factory, which today is responsible for players' custom boots and popularly features on the heel, sockliner and string bag of the 2017 'remake'.
