Ronaldinho Goes Sneaker Shopping With Complex

Joining an increasingly impressive roster of star athletes, Ronaldinho becomes the latest legend of the game to join Joe La Puma for a spot of sneaker shopping with Complex.

An absolute legend of the game, Ronaldinho is the latest football icon to go “Sneaker Shopping” with Complex’s Joe La Puma, with the pair heading to KITH in Los Angeles to make selections. In hooking up with Complex, the Brazilian joins the likes of compatriots Neymar Jr. and Vinicius Jr., as well as Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid’s latest superstar signing, Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland and David Beckham, making the sneaker shopping series the place to be.

For Ronaldinho’s outing, he spoke with Joe La Puma about his history getting sneakers with Nike, his legendary "Crossbar" YouTube video, while also talking through the Brazilian legend’s friendship with Kobe, meeting Michael Jordan, and featuring in Nike’s recent ad with Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Junior and Erling Haaland. Ronaldinho’s shopping haul saw him spend $2436.53 on 15 pairs of sneakers – a paltry sum next to Neymar’s staggering $18,000 in the series, spent in the summer of 2017.
