No More Nike: Garnacho Wears Puma Ultra 5 Boots
Update: Nothing is certain yet about Garnacho’s next destination after leaving Nike. Recently, he wore Puma Ultra 5 boots during Manchester United's training session yesterday.
Wearing the Puma Ultra 5 boots suggests that Garnacho has yet to decide on his next destination in his career. After parting ways with Nike, he has worn boots from three different brands: Skechers, Adidas and most recently Puma.
Taking to the pitch at Old Trafford for the Premier League fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers today, Garnacho was spotted wearing the recently released Adidas F50 boots from the 'Celestial Victory' pack.
This move provides the clearest evidence so far that the Argentinian international's long-standing partnership with Nike has likely come to an end. While testing different brands in training is common during contract negotiations or transitions, wearing a competitor's boots in an official, high-profile match is a much stronger indicator of a definitive switch. The big question now is whether this marks the start of a permanent switch to the Three Stripes.
Update: Garnacho was spotted wearing Adidas F50 boots at Manchester United's recent training session, suggesting that he is still in the process of choosing a new brand as his departure from Nike approaches.
Garnacho was spotted wearing Skechers Razor boots during the warm-up for yesterday's match between Manchester United and Newcastle, suggesting he is likely to leave Nike for the brand.
Garnacho to Leave Nike for Skechers?
Wearing Skechers Razor shoes yesterday, Garnacho is likely to leave Nike for Skechers.
Although Garnacho was once a promising young star for Nike, his recent poor performances suggest that Nike has little interest in renewing his contract.
Garnacho is likely to join Skechers and become an ambassador for their flagship Razor line, following in the footsteps of Isco.
What do you think about Garnacho leaving Nike? Do you think Skechers is the right destination for this young man? Comment below.
