MLS Stars + Their Custom mi adidas Boots

To support Breast Cancer Awareness Month some of the top MLS players around the league were able to customize boots via miAdidas to support BCAM. The boots will hit the pitch this weekend and will continue to be rocked throughout the month of October. I have always been a big fan of customized boots and with this project each athlete was able to customize a pair of boots to fit their own individual style/personality. Each boot as a taste of pink to pay tribute to the cause but when these boots hit the pitch they are sure to get the attention of footy fans. 

Customized boots below are from Chris Pontius (DC United), Fredy Montero (Seattle Sounders), Darlington Nagbe (Portland Timbers), Kenny Cooper (New York), and Teal Bunbery (Kansas City). 

Chris Pontius (DC United)
Chris Pontius (DC United): “I designed my cleats the way I did because I like the simple color scheme. The pink stripes and laces were added for Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the red tongue is for the DC United colors. I like the white basic scheme because it looks very clean and that’s how I went about designing my cleats.”

Fredy Montero (Seattle Sounders)
Fredy Montero (Seattle Sounders): “I wanted to keep it simple, but at the same time it means a lot for me now with my wife’s name on my shoes.  Also of course I’m trying to support women with this for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.”

Darlington Nagbe (Portland Timbers)

Darlington Nagbe (Portland Timbers): “These will be my first custom cleats, I’m pretty excited. adidas is famous for their stripes, so I wanted to make the stripes, laces and other pieces on my boots pink to support breast cancer awareness. I used black and gold on the rest of the cleat to draw attention and try to make the pink really stand out.”

Kenny Cooper (New York)
Kenny Cooper (New York Red Bulls): “My inspiration for why I designed my boots with pink stripes and laces are all those who have had breast cancer. I know when I look down on my boots and see the pink that represents Breast Cancer Awareness that I will be inspired by their hope and strength.”

Teal Bunbery (Kansas City)
Teal Bunbury (Sporting KC): “I wanted to make something fun and exciting and that definitely looked good. Mainly though I wanted to show my continued support of Breast Cancer Awareness having that a family member was recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Having the ability to design my own cleat gave me the freedom to express my passion for the game.”
