ONE of the most famous footballers in the world donned a pair of custom-made Latchford shoes at Manchester United's Champions League match against PSG.
Paul Pogba has been wearing his Starline Customs Adidas trainers out and about, created by talented designer Karl Chester.
Karl said: "When United got through and Pogba ran on the pitch, he was wearing them which was amazing!
"He also added a picture of him wearing them to his Instagram story.
"At first we didn’t believe that they were going to him when the order came through.
"We designed and painted them and even after we sent them we didn’t quite believe it until we saw pictures of him checking into the Lowry Hotel in Manchester and he was wearing the shoes."

The shoes
The one-of-a-kind Adidas trainers feature pictures of Pogba himself and stripes represent his bold hair styles from over the years.
Since business has got so busy for Karl, he has closed his Affleck's store in Manchester to work solely online.
