“The boots are the most important item. I still do the cleaning myself. I’ve done it consistently. Toni Kroos reflected on the most important piece of football equipment he owned: his boots. “You have to take care of them… and that they are white, of course, always white.” Adidas, without fail. Furthermore, the football surgeon—nicknamed “millimeter passes”—has worn the same style of boots for nearly thirteen years.
Real Madrid’s number eight has been wearing the Adidas adiPURE 11Pro for eternity and will continue to do so until he retires. The model was discovered while Kroos was still playing on loan for Bayer Leverkusen prior to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
The German player tried them on for the first time and decided never to remove them again. To say the least, it’s an unusual choice, given that shoe manufacturers are constantly improving the quality of their products through various innovations. In addition, the football player requested that Adidas continue producing boots from the Adidas 11Pro line specifically for him, despite the fact that the model was retired in 2015.
His current boots are a hybrid of two Adipure 11Pro models, featuring a spike-shaped sole and a classic leather body in light blue and white. Everything is available to a football player who has represented Germany for many years and has won numerous games on the field. The ambassador has a unique style and has tried different models (Adida Copa 19+), but has yet to achieve the necessary ‘feel’ to dance on the field.
A day of insanity… and distinctive advertising
The German midfielder unveiled his new, limited-edition Adidas adiPURE 11Pro. Adidas reintroduced the iconic Toni Kroos boots, which have never gone out of style, and the result was incredible: they all sold out in one day. “It was crazy; the day they went on sale, they all flew away from our website, physical stores, and all of our clients,” Adidas told us. Adidas took advantage of the opportunity to reintroduce a specific model just ten years after the collection debuted.
And never touch what is working well. At least according to Kroos, he has never had a season in which his passing accuracy in the league or the Champions League fell below 90% since donning those iconic boots.
Because of the exceptional marketing success of the special edition launch, Jude Bellingham even used the occasion to ask his wife for a pair of his famous boots. “Some size 9 (42.5),” the Englishman said in an Instagram comment. “They’re already on their way,” Toni Kroos replied. All in all, the German player kept his word, and the English player’s request was granted in Valdebebas during Real Madrid’s final practice before facing Rayo Vallecano at the Bernabeu.
“Delivery special today. Thank you, partner,” the fifth person wrote on social media, attaching a photo of the German gift to the English footballer’s 42.5-inch foot. Jude has still managed to obtain a pair of boots as a memento, despite the German multinational’s belief that Toni Kroos is the only person who wears them.
To be honest, accepting the ball from Kroos is a pleasure for the five, who have long admired the German and hoped to learn from him and Modric in the white team. In addition, I’m attempting to impart to him my skills and how the two of us can collaborate to improve each other’s games.
