Have PUMA given Mario Balotelli his exclusive evoPOWER boot? Liverpool striker spotted training at Melwood today wearing Italian flag designed boots.

We've often debated whether PUMA should elect a signature star to compete with the big two and now it looks like they've found him in Mario Balotelli. Nike have a signature range for Cristiano Ronaldo, adidas have Leo Messi and PUMA, well it looks like it's the out-of-form Liverpool striker who's taking that honour.

When placed together Balotelli's red/white/green custom boots create the Italy flag and are expected to be on pitch this weekend when Liverpool take on Chelsea in front of the TV cameras at Anfield. Mario is still searching for his first Premier League goal for Liverpool and PUMA have put their arm round their main man by hooking him up with his own limited edition exclusive colourway as a vote of confidence.

Reminiscent of the Tricks collection worn at the 2014 World Cup Balotelli's custom evoPOWER's feature a green left boot and a red right boot for a unique on-pitch look that will be worn, of course, by Mario Balotelli only, who will be hoping they coincide with a change of fortune in front of goal.
