Mason Greenwood wore special never-before-seen multi-colored Nike boots for Getafe against Espanyol, despite not having a sponsorship deal.
Greenwood took to the field in brand new Nike boots, which appeared to be custom-made and came in a range of colors, as Getafe ran out 1-0 winners in the Copa del Rey. Nike confirmed earlier this year that they do not have a sponsorship deal with the striker, after they severed ties in February 2022.
Greenwood remains an integral member of the Getafe squad this season and the club are currently preparing for the next round of the cup football competition. The striker scored twice in the Copa del Rey, in a 12-0 win over CF Tardienta in the first round, in which the Manchester United loanee scored three goals in La Liga. Indeed, he was able to play in Saturday’s Copa del Rey round of 32 despite being sent off against Rayo Vallecano for a red card that was later overturned.
Greenwood isn’t the only footballer wearing new boots this weekend, as Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappé has also designed a new pair of boots based on Nike’s famous TN trainers. The purple variant was showcased at the Parc des Princes as PSG beat Toulouse 2-0 to win the Trophee des Champions.
Greenwood is likely to be on the field next when Getafe face Osasuna on January 21. It remains to be seen who they will play in the next Copa del Rey round. As for the striker’s long-term future, the 22-year-old has been linked with moves to the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid, although it appears he will complete the remainder of his loan deal with Getafe before returning to United. make decisions about what happens next.
