On the popular show, ‘Sneaker Shopping’, Erling Haaland discussed why his love for a coveted sneaker was further heightened by a Manchester City connection.
Since his move to Borussia Dortmund in 2020, Erling Haaland has made the headlines on a number of occasions for his unique dress sense.
The now-Manchester City striker is known to sport designer brands on social media and much like fellow teammate Jack Grealish, he never shies away from taking fashion risks.

The 21-year old’s fearless style has led him to be regarded as a fashion icon by many.
For instance, the youngster became the talk of the town after he donned DJ Khaled and Dolce & Gabbana’s collaborative ‘Black Lion’ t-shirt on social media, which is known to be an extremely uninhibited creation.

Sporting the luxury watch Audemars Piguet, as well as a pair of Nike sliders to cap off the outfit, Haaland’s style choices divided opinion to say the least online.
In a similar vein, the striking sensation took to social media on New Year’s Day to post a picture of him wearing a cheetah print night suit, which further enhanced his reputation as an eccentric dresser.

Being one of the few people in the world to gain access to luxury brand Fear of God’s exclusive collaborative hoodie with Adidas as well, the Sky Blues’ brand-new number nine is well and truly a fashionista.
Spotted wearing the elusive Travis Scott’s Nike SB Dunk sneakers during his media duties with City as well, plenty of fans have noticed the former RB Salzburg man’s affinity towards footwear in particular.
As a result, it was only right that Erling Haaland made an appearance on Complex’s YouTube show ‘Sneaker Shopping’, where he explained the connection between City and an exclusive pair of Louis Vuitton and Nike’s coveted Air Force 1 sneakers he received.
“It was really special because then, they weren’t even released. It was a really nice gift from Nike to give to me. As you know, these shoes are so beautiful and with the colour of Manchester City, to get it back in January was really nice. It’s insane!”, he told Joe La Puma.

He continued, “He (Alfie Haaland) said, ‘The City shoes!’. You don’t have to say anything, you just have to see them once and it was like, ‘wow, it’s crazy!’.
With Erling Haaland admitting previously that he has been a lifelong Manchester City fan, his reaction to the popular sneakers is understandable.
One can expect the Sky Blues superstar to blend his love for the club and fashion for years to come during his time in England.
