Let's recalibrate our optics towards the training ground of Liverpool recently. We spotted Darwin Nunez trading in his Nike Mercurial Vapor boots for Puma Ultra Ultimate. It's a sign of anticipated shoe allegiance shift; a ticking clock hinting we are getting closer to seeing Nunez exiting Nike's camp and setting foot into Puma.
Imagine the headline: "Darwin Nunez x Puma Ultra Ultimate.” Oh, the excitement! This shoe switch-up clearly sets Nunez on a course, strewn with players bidding their icons goodbye. Could Puma be his final destination? We're placing bets!
Now, let’s remember it’s not just about Nunez. This year has seen a grand exodus from swoosh town to the territory of leaping cats. Jack Grealish, Mateo Kovacic, Kai Havertz, and Dani Carvajal, have all made their sporting choice, Puma. In his Ultra Ultimate's, we might soon be placing Nunez’s name amongst the likes of Puma ambassadors: Antoine Griezmann, Marco Reus, Harry Maguire or Christian Pulisic. All noteworthy devotees of the Puma shoe game.
Another star is set to leave Nike, so, what are our thoughts, readers? Is Puma the appropriate terminus for our friend Nunez? Let's spill the tea in the comments below on TikTok!
