"I've been very lucky; I've won a lot with these boots. For me, the most important thing for a footballer is the boots—they have to be ones you feel comfortable in. I like the material and the color. With that sole, I just need one training session, and I can play." These were Toni Kroos's words about his beloved Adidas 11pro model, which has been his steadfast companion since 2013. Against Spain, the number '8' played his final match, closing an extraordinary chapter in football history.
For the past decade, Toni has won every major title with his favorite pair of boots, making them arguably the "most successful pair of football boots in history."
"The brand hasn't always liked me playing with the same boots because they are always releasing new colors and materials, but I've always insisted on sticking with my old boots because I feel very comfortable with them," the German midfielder explained last year, highlighting his attachment to the 11pro model. As Toni and the 11pro have been inseparable for ten years, it's fitting that neither retires without the other. This loyalty in the beautiful game deserves to be permanently etched into the history of both the player and the brand.
In honor of this perfect duo, the boots will now bear his name: Adidas TKpro, in tribute to Toni Kroos.
