This is a clue that doesn’t lie. During Atlético Madrid’s last friendly match, Antoine Griezmann wore a pair of all-black cleats. This is a sign that the Frenchman is in the process of breaking away from his historic supplier, Puma, which has been supplying him with his cleats since 2010.
Relevo confirms this information already mentioned a few months ago by Foot Mercato. But the Spanish media does not yet know who the next sponsor of the Macônnais will be. It could be Adidas, which wants to develop on the American market, where Griezmann could join a certain Lionel Messi in MLS. It could also be Nike, the current equipment supplier of Atlético de Madrid and the French team.
Griezmann, Decathlon’s new star?
Other options are possible, such as New Balance, one of the rising brands, which bought the nugget Endrick. But the hottest lead would lead to… Decathlon. The black cleats worn by Griezmann the other day strongly resemble the CLR model, the pair developed by Kispta, the football brand of the French brand.
With Griezmann, Decathlon would continue its foray into professional sport, already started in tennis with Gaël Monfils and in cycling with the Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale team, which is doing well this season on Van Rysel bikes.
😳👀 The blackout boots Griezmann is wearing are Decathlon CLR boots – a speed shoe silo from Decathlon.
