adidas finally get their in-form dutchman into the Battle Pack adizero f50 as the Netherlands secure qualification from Group B with a 2-0 win over Chile.
Arjen Robben is having an incredible World Cup so far. He lead the Dutch charge with two goals in a 5-1 win over Spain and he scored against Australia as Holland secured qualification to Group B. The only problem for adidas with Robben's form was that he was wearing their old boots.
All of adidas' contracted players were supplied with the Battle Pack boots as the German brand set out to visually dominate Brazil. Robben however played Holland's first two group games in the Slime adizero colourway, putting in two outstanding goalscoring performances which got him on every TV screen and newspaper worldwide.
Not ideal for adidas who wanted one of their headline players in their Battle Pack. After Robben ran the show in the first two games adidas look to have upped their efforts to encourage the switch and were successful when the Dutch winger laced up in patterned f50 boots against Chile in São Paulo. Time to work on RVP now...
