Closer Look + Tech Details: Van Dijk Trains in Classic Nike Total 90 Laser IV 2014 Boots
Liverpool center back Virgil van Dijk, who was previously rumored to join Adidas, was spotted wearing classic Nike Total 90 Laser IV boots in training this week. Thanks to our reader Josh for the heads-up!
Originally released in 2014, the Nike Total 90 Laser 4 cleats have a lightweight Teijin synthetic leather upper with a streamlined and flexible design. True to its T90 origins, the inside of the boot features a power zone made of plastic triangles.
As Nike are set to re-release the first generation of the Total 90, van Dijk is the latest of a number of high-profile players to show up to training wearing old boots. The likes of Karim Benzema and Toni Kroos have famously been wearing long-discontinued Adidas designs for several months / years, respectively.
Van Dijk, however, is widely believed to be switching back to his regular Nike Tiempo for Liverpool's next game.
