PUMA pays tribute to Memphis Depay as Netherlands’ all-time leading scorer with exclusive boots
Memphis Depay made history in Dutch football last week, surpassing Robin van Persie to become the nation’s highest goal scorer with his 51st and 52nd goals. In celebration of this achievement, PUMA has collaborated with the forward to produce the MD51 ULTRA – a limited-edition model that reflects his journey both on and off the field. The boots are built on a white foundation, showcasing two distinct color schemes: one in blue and black that signifies family, faith, and culture, and the other in orange and black to symbolize his successes in football. Highlights include his well-known lion tattoo, the number 10, acknowledgments of his Ghanaian heritage, and a tribute to his mother, Cora. However, these special boots will not be available for purchase. Only 51 pairs have been made, each allocated to individuals who have influenced his life – from family members to mentors and close friends. “I was a young boy with big dreams; a cub became a lion on the biggest stage,” Depay expressed. “To be the Netherlands’ leading male scorer is truly a privilege… I wanted to honor those who assisted me throughout my journey with this unique token of gratitude.” For Depay, it’s less about trends and more about a heartfelt thank you. And for everyone else? A further affirmation that the player adorned with the lion now stands as the most prominent figure in the annals of Dutch football history.
