Having been spotting wearing an unreleased Under Armour Spotlight 2.0 colourway in recent weeks, the story behind Memphis Depay's special edition boots has been unveiled, with the two joining forces to spread the message of Depay's foundation in Ghana.
First worn by Depay during Holland's friendly match against Peru, the special edition Spotlight 2.0 boots have been getting some noticeable game time during the last month. Getting our first official look at the boots and the story behind them, the one-of-one design is part of an effort by Under Armour and Depay to raise awareness for his charity. Following a recent trip to Ghana, Depay documented the journey, which recently aired on Fox Sports in Holland and the documentary will be released online in the coming months.
The stand-out feature is a sound wave frequency graphic that is captured from a voice saying “Walk In Faith Not By Sight” which is Memphis’ slogan and part of his celebration where he puts his fingers in his ears, closing his eyes and raises his hands up to God. The celebration is a symbol of support to those children he recently visited in Ghana. The orange graphic sits atop a white leather upper and a matching orange outsole.
To showcase the boot Memphis has released a series of images across social media as he breaks for international duty with Holland. Fittingly he’s teamed up with Classic Football Shirts, pairing the boots with the perfectly matching 1987 Holland away shirt. The upcoming fixtures against Germany and Belgium will give Memphis another opportunity to wear the boots on the global stage, helping to spread the message of his charity.
