Seems shoe manufacturers are thinking players want to wear pink cleats these days. As I posted a couple days ago, Puma has a new cleat they are pushing which in "en rose".
Today, I stumbled upon this video from Nike showing their new Mecurial Vapor Rosa cleat. The video stars Bayern Munich's Franck Ribery as the "Pink Panther". They did this for 2 obvious reasons: Franck Ribery is French as was the Pink Panther. With that connection, Ribery wears the cleat so making him the Pink Panther in the video makes perfect sense to promote a new pink color of boot. Pink Panther = French and Pink. Franck Ribery = French and wears Pink cleats. Genius.
Annnnnyway, apparently Ribery was the first to wear the Rosa boot when the French international turned out for Bayern Munich in his finest pink regalia at home to Energie Cottbus in the Bundesliga. People will say that he is in touch with his feminine side by wearing a cleat of such color. I say the man is in touch with his financial side.
They say it takes a real man to wear pink. Well here's why Franck Ribery can wear pink:
