Mario Balotelli may not be experiencing the best of luck in front of goal for club and country but his current dry spell seems to have had little impact on his marketability.
Puma have rolled out 400 special edition pairs of the evoPOWER MB45s for their eccentric star athlete.
The boot design sees the Italian flag asymmetrically emblazoned across the length of each boot to create a striking colour block effect.
As a personal touch, Puma have taken a quote by Genghis Khan from Mario’s tattoo which states "I am the punishment of God. If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you", on the one side, while the other side of the boot upper reads the words "Professionalism, Endeavour, Humility".
Balotelli was first seen wearing the boots when Liverpool hosted Chelsea at Anfield over the weekend.
