Fashion and footballers go hand-in-hand, and there are a host of players – including Gabon and Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – who have dabbled in a designing their own kicks and boots. Have you seen them?
It's not unusual for players to get their hands on exclusive clothing brands, but what happens when they design their own pieces of attire themselves?
Well, Aubameyang created sparkly high-tops inspired by animated TV show Dragon Ball Z, while Lukas Podolski's new adidas boots feature Kojiro Hyuga – a famous cartoon figure in Japan.
These players partnered up with French bespoke designer Pierre Navarro, who is known to bedazzle a lot of clothing items with Swarovski crystals.
Check out some of the players' designs below!
