Football player Paul Pogba of Manchester United has collaborated with fashion designer Stella McCartney and sportswear company Adidas to produce a football footwear that is entirely vegan!
Knоwn by its new nаme, the аdidаs Predаtоr Freаk, the bооt is mаde оf recycled mаteriаls.
The midfielder for Man United and France claims that a conversation he had with Stella during last year’s shutdown inspired the concept for the footwear.
“It was in the middle of lockdown and I was missing playing football so much, so it was an incredible feeling to be able to focus on something that combines my love for the game with my passion for style,” stated Pogba.
“I аm а fооtbаller first аnd fоremоst, but I hаve а huge interest in fаshiоn аnd design аnd I’ve аlwаys wаnted tо explоre this further.”
What is meant by vegan?
A vegan is a person who abstains from eating, drinking, or using any plant that has been assisted in growing by an animal.
Vegetarians who abstain from eating any meat, including hog, poultry, beef, or fish, are comparable to vegans.
Vegans differ slightly from vegetarians in that they abstain from all dairy products, such as milk and yoghurt, eggs, and honey produced by bees.
Additionally, a lot of vegans decide not to wear any clothes made of materials derived from animals, such as leather, wool, or fur.
“Working together on the design and bouncing ideas off each other was such a fun experience, and the boot perfectly fuses the world of fashion and football, showing how we can continue to create with the planet in mind,” added Stella.
Adidas claims that even though the boot is composed of vegan materials, every component was carefully examined to ensure that it was appropriate for high performance. Pogba might soon be testing them out for football fans!
“The boots we created with Adidas are bold and unique, and I can’t wait to wear them when I step onto the pitch,” the soccer player stated.
