A celebration of past and present, the special edition Furon v6+ boots are created in tribute to Saka’s childhood football memories and to mark his incredible rise.

And he now has two pairs of iconic boots to match his talent, courtesy of New Balance.
Saka announced his partnership with the sports company on Instagram while showing off every angle of the two sets of boots.
One pair are suede with burgundy as the primary colour, with one side rainbow-like where the New Balance logo blends in with orange and pink.
They feature the words ‘God’s Child’ and show praying hands as well as a religious-looking figure raising his hands up at the sun.
The boots are also emblazoned with a lightning strike on the heel, as are the blue pair.
Those boots feature two images of Saka himself wearing Arsenal’s number seven and feature the words ‘Kid with a dream’.
They also feature a Hale End road sign – a homage to the Arsenal academy where Saka learned his trade for several years.
Saka joined the Gunners academy aged seven and has since enjoyed a meteoric rise, becoming a regular for both club and country.
Both designs will incorporate Bukayo’s bespoke insignia – derived from his initials and his beloved number seven shirt, the new emblem incorporates red accents; a nod to the talented winger’s Little Chilli nickname and his off-field energy.
Speaking on the reveal Bukayo Saka said “I’m so happy to have my own design, it really is a dream come true. Working with New Balance and Feyi Badejo to turn my ideas into art was such a fun experience, I can’t wait to wear the boots we created together”.
