- Headline Features:
- Adidas X Speedflow.1 boots match worn by Brazilian international full-back Alex Telles, during the 2021/22 season whilst playing for Manchester United.
- Used in both Premier League and UEFA Champions League fixtures across an extended run of matches — 8 total appearances including some of the club’s highest-profile fixtures of the campaign.
- Worn in United’s Manchester Derby clash versus Manchester City, key Premier League matches versus Chelsea, Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Norwich, Newcastle and Aston Villa, as well as the Champions League victory over Villarreal.
- The pair exhibit heavy match wear and have been photo-matched to up-close, in-game imagery of Telles in action.
- Originally personalised with Brazil flag and ‘#Proteção’ (Portuguese for Protection) printed on the medial side of each upper — much of which has worn away through use, leaving only ‘#PR’ visible on the right boot.
- A superb example of a battle-worn, photo-matched pair from one of Manchester United’s key defenders during the transitional 2021/22 campaign.
