Luis Suarez is the face of the boot 'every footballer dreams of' - and they are KNITTED.
Boot giants adidas have unveiled the new Samba primeknit limited edition studs that 'combines the comfort and responsiveness of playing barefoot with the protection of a traditional design'.
The innovative design the first football boot to have an upper that is knitted from heel-to-toe using the Samba colours of green, pink, blue and orange, providing a bespoke second-skin fit that retains the strength of a conventional boot.
Limited edition: adidas are only making 150 pairs of the new primeknit boot, which cost £220
All smiles: Suarez is looking forward to wearing the boot for the first time next month
Sportsmail understands the Liverpool striker, who is the Premier League's top scorer with 23 goals, will be the only player to wear them when they officially launch next month.
And he will grace them in one of the biggest games of the season when Brendan Rodgers' title-chasing side take on Manchester United at Old Trafford on March 16.
The spotlight will be on the Uruguay forward in the powerkeg North West clash where he will renew his infamous rivalry with United defender Patrice Evra.
Stitch up: New levels of flexibility and comfort are provided by the one-piece knitted upper
Laced up: The advanced production techniques used to make primeknit also allow for the one-layer upper to be constructed with zones catering to various performance needs
Tried and tested: Each yarn receives a high precision coating that guarantees water resistance even in the most challenging conditions
And he'll be hoping to have ended his mini goal drought by then, too.
The 27-year-old has not scored since January 28, when he notched in the 4-0 win over Everton at Anfield - and the goalless run now stretches to five games.
Only 150 pairs of the £220 boots have been made and are certain to be snapped up immediately when they go on sale 24 hours later, on March 17.
Big stage: Suarez will wear the new adidas boots for the first time at Old Trafford on March 16
