More and more videogame-inspired designs appear in the pairs used by sports figures. On this occasion, the turn is of the German footballer, Lucas Podolski, a Street Fighter fan.
Maybe today the name of Lucas Podolski does not say much today, but during the past decade he was one of the most important strikers of the German soccer team thanks to his performance in clubs such as FC Köln, FC Bayern Munich and Arsenal . Although his level fell gradually, Podolski managed to be part of the German team that was crowned in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and as is often the case with many athletes, the striker is also passionate about video games, particularly Street Fighter and thanks a French designer could fulfill his wish.
A report by Kotaku presented the design that the French artist Pierre Navarro made in the Adidas X 17.1s studs that Lucas Podolski currently uses in his role as a striker for Turkey’s Antalyaspor. This work united the 2 passions of the player, placing Street Fighter content in the pair, so that the right footwear shows Ryu performing a Hadouken, while the left one has Ken in the posture before a Shoryuken.
