Dominic Calvert-Lewin Boots To Join New Balance From Nike? Trains In Blackout Next-Gen New Balance Tekela Boots

Usually a regular of the Nike Mercurial Vapor 13 boots, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been spotted with blackout next-generation New Balance Furon boots in training in November. However, so far he did not wear New Balance boots in a match, but a move to the Bolton-based company seems still well possible.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin Shin Guards

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is not wearing those big-sized skin guards of the previous millennium but in very small yet relatively thick shin pads. They do only protect a small part of his shins.

Some social media accounts made fun of DCL's shin guards, even comparing them to just cardboard. We are sure that those are no caught but do also not know which brand's shin guards he is wearing.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin also cut off a hole in the back of each of his socks to prevent muscle pressure, something that has been done by many footballers in recent years.
