Memphis Depay etched his name right into Dutch football history recently, surpassing Robin van Persie to end up being the Netherlands’ all-time leading scorer with his 51 st and 52 nd objectives.
To note the landmark, PUMA have coordinated with the forward to create the MD 51 ULTRA– a limited-edition style that tells the tale of his trip both on and off the pitch.
Built on a white base, the boots include contrasting colourways: one in blue and black to show family members, faith, and society, the various other in orange and black to record his footballing accomplishments. Information include his renowned lion tattoo, the number 10, tributes to his Ghanaian roots, and a nod to his mother, Cora.
However followers won’t be able to cop them. Just 51 sets exist, each going directly to the people that formed his life– from household to coaches and buddies.
“I was a young kid with huge dreams; a cub became a lion on the biggest phase,” Depay claimed. “To end up being the Netherlands’ leading man objective scorer is a true honour … I intended to celebrate by giving a special token of my recognition to the people that aided me along the road.”
For Depay, it’s much less about buzz decreases and even more about a personal thanks. And for everyone else? One more pointer that the male with the lion on his upper body currently roars the loudest in Dutch football history.
