The Palmeiras and Brazil striker trained with boots developed exclusively by New Balance, given as a gift under a contract signed with the company
It seems that the way Endrick It’s getting brighter and brighter. When he went to train this Tuesday, the 21st, the young striker was wearing boots created exclusively for the player by New Balancea supplier of sporting goods with whom it signed a contract until 2028.
Endrick will debut the new footwear this Tuesday, 21st, at 9:30 pm, in the great classic between Brazil It is Argentinaat the Maracanãfor the sixth round of World Cup qualifiers. In the agreement with the company, there is still no forecast for the development of an own brand signed by the player, as is the case with Michael Jordan at Nikewhich will also include casual sneakers and clothing.
The first time that the exclusive boot was used was during the training of the Brazilian team, in Comary Farm. The shoes were ready, but needed to be broken in, as Endrick’s summons took everyone by surprise. Therefore, against Colombia, the 17-year-old entered the field with white boots. The striker started talking to suppliers at the age of 14, when he denied the renewal with Nike and bet on his own success to wait until the contract ended and see who would present a better one, encouraged by his family and his staff.
Dozens of proposals were heard later, as adidas, Puma, Under Armor, Sketchers, Mizuno, Endrick chose New Balance, which had a smaller financial proposal, but which promised that the striker would be the main star of its brand. And the story begins now, this Tuesday, 21st, against Argentina.
