World-class Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham) is set to wear a special pair of soccer shoes.
Adidas announced, "Son Heung-min's new soccer shoes, inspired by the South Korean flag, the Taegeukgi, will be launched simultaneously in the UK and Korea on the 21st. Instead of the F50 logo, Son Heung-min's name is inscribed in both English and Korean. Son Heung-min will debut these shoes in the match against Nottingham Forest on the 21st."
Adidas noted, "Son Heung-min has made a significant impact on the world soccer scene. In Korea, he is a beloved national hero. He possesses dazzling speed and world-class finishing abilities. He is the most humble and beloved player in history," explaining the background for Son Heung-min's signature soccer shoes.
However, it seems that Son Heung-min's debut in the new soccer shoes will be postponed. After suffering a foot injury, Son Heung-min's condition has worsened, making it certain that he will miss the match against Nottingham on the 22nd.
Angie Postecoglou, the Tottenham manager, said, "We need to keep checking Son Heung-min's condition. Currently, rather than improving, the injury has worsened."
Tottenham is in 15th place in the Premier League. There is no reason to force Son Heung-min into league matches. He is expected to target a return for the match against Bode on May 2 and the Europa League semifinals.
