No more Spider-Man boots: Nicolas Pepe to leave Adidas?

  /  autty

Arsenal forward Nicolas Pepe could be leaving Adidas, a short time after he garnered the attention of the internet for wearing the Nemeziz 'Spider-Man' special-edition boots.

As spotted by the excellent boots culture account on Instagram, Pepe laced up in a pair of blacked-out New Balance Furon v5 boots.

It makes perfect sense for New Balance to try and pick up more high-profile players, considering the brand's very thin roster. If you want to sell football boots, you better have some professionals wear them.

So far, no details about the deal between Adidas and Pepe have surfaced. However, it's worth noting that BeIN Sport reported Adidas would try to get him to Bayern back in March - this would suggest a pretty strong relationship between brand and player, who, while not in Germany, ended up signing with another 3-stripe club.
