Bukayo Saka | Player-Worn Boots | 2022 FIFA World Cup | England

Key Significance: Ultra-rare New Balance Furon V7 ‘Stone Island’ Special Edition boots player-worn by Arsenal and England international superstar, Bukayo Saka. Worn by the player during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar whilst representing the England national team. This pair are confirmed player-worn during the tournament, with training use considered most likely due to Saka predominantly opting for the FG configuration during competitive fixtures during this time period, whilst this pair feature the SG soleplate. The Stone Island collaboration was commercially released exclusively in an FG configuration, with no SG version made available to the general public, making this player-specific pair an exceptionally rare variation of an already highly sought-after limited-edition model. Further distinguishing the boots from the commercial release, each heel features Saka’s custom “BS” lightning logo in place of the standard Stone Island branding.

Player Modifications & Personalisation: Each boot features Saka’s custom “BS” lightning logo prominently positioned to the heel section. On commercially available examples of the Stone Island Furon V7, this area features Stone Island branding. Its replacement with Saka’s personal logo creates a distinctive player-specific variation unique to his athlete-issued footwear. The pair are equipped with an SG soleplate, specifically prepared for professional use on softer playing surfaces. Player-Exclusive Stone Island Specification: The New Balance x Stone Island Furon V7 represented a special-edition collaboration between the two brands, with the commercially available release produced solely with an FG soleplate. An SG version was never offered at retail, meaning this pair represent an exceptionally scarce professional-player configuration of the Stone Island model. Combined with Saka’s bespoke heel branding, the SG construction distinguishes this pair significantly from examples available to collectors through the original commercial release. Collector & Investment Significance: An exceptionally rare player-worn example combining Bukayo Saka, the FIFA World Cup, and the highly collectible New Balance x Stone Island collaboration within a single piece. Its significance is further elevated by the player-exclusive SG configuration – a specification never commercially released on the Stone Island model – and Saka’s custom “BS” heel branding. With very few SG examples of this special-edition model likely to have been produced exclusively for professional athletes, this represents an extremely scarce variation with direct provenance to Saka during the biggest international tournament in world football.
