Tigran Barseghyan Wears Custom Hulk Mercurial Superfly

Armenian international Tigran Barseghyan has taken his custom boot game to new heights by calling on the services of Handmade Customised Footwear artist "Swithadot" to create a bespoke pair of Nike Mercurial Superfly boots featuring the face of the Hulk.

Barseghyan is a rather large gentleman and has adopted the nickname "The Armenian Hulk" from the media, and it's a title that he's clearly embracing with his latest custom boot design. A design that the Vardar FC midfielder wore during a recent international friendly against Lithuania.

The skills behind the hand-painted illustration of the Hulk belong to "swithadot" or "S." if you must. The artist has whipped up the Hulk's face (or an angry Grinch on steroids) along with fading green details along the upper of the boot, and Barseghyan's squad number – 11 – on the instep.

This isn't the first time that Barseghyan has commissioned "S." to create a custom Mercurial design. At the tail end of last year he wore a hand-painted Disney design against Rosenborg in the UEFA Europa League.
