Recent reports indicate that the brand is set to create a signature boot for the Real Madrid midfielder, featuring Bellingham’s distinctive celebration as the logo’s inspiration.
Footy Headlines revealed that a customized Bellingham logo and boot collection are in development. Adidas has previously honoured the young talent with commemorative Predators for his Golden Boy win last year.
A football first: signature boots featuring a player’s own silhouette logo. Previously, only basketball legend Michael Jordan received such an honor with the iconic ‘Jumpman’ logo for the Chicago Bulls.
Adidas is set to create a signature line of boots for the second time, with the first being Lionel Messi’s discontinued Nemeziz series in 2021. This upcoming line will feature the unique distinction of showcasing a player’s own silhouette logo, a rarity in football footwear. The only comparable instance of an athlete receiving such an honor from a brand is the iconic ‘Jumpman’ logo designed for the legendary basketball player Michael Jordan during his time with the Chicago Bulls.
Jude Bellingham, the young talent making waves at Real Madrid, has proven himself worthy of such recognition. Since joining the club in the past summer, Bellingham has been the linchpin of Real Madrid’s success this season. His impactful contributions were evident in the Spanish Super Cup final, where Los Blancos secured a convincing 4-1 victory over bitter rivals Barcelona, earning Bellingham his first trophy of the year.
At just 20 years old, Bellingham has already made a significant impact on the pitch. Leading the race for the Golden Boot, he has scored an impressive 14 goals and provided 3 assists in just 20 appearances in La Liga for Real Madrid. The upcoming signature line of boots from Adidas is a testament to Bellingham’s rising status in the football world and his remarkable achievements at a young age.
Furthermore, the 20-year-old secured the Golden Boy award in a commanding fashion, garnering an impressive 485 votes, with approximately 97 percent of the total first-place votes. This achievement is particularly noteworthy considering he surpassed some of the most promising young talents in the footballing world.
The 20-year-old midfielder from England and Real Madrid outshone a formidable lineup of contenders, including Jamal Musiala from Bayern Munich, Alejandro Balde from Barcelona, Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig, and Antonio Silva from Benfica. In achieving this feat, he also made history as the first-ever Real Madrid player to receive such honors.
Meanwhile, Adidas is actively promoting their new Predator boots, featuring several Premier League stars like Alexander Isak, Diogo Jota, Joe Gomez, Lisandro Martinez, and Joelinton. Surprising the footballing world, Jose Mourinho has become the latest football superstar to showcase the new range of classic Adidas boots.
