Lukas Podolski will make one last bow in Dortmund tonight as he makes his 130th and final appearance for Germany against England at Signal Iduna Park. Having made every appearance and scored every goal wearing adidas boots for the national team, the Three Stripes have sorted the Galatasaray forward out with a custom pair of ACE 17.1 boots to wear for the occasion.
Podolski has made no secret of his love for custom adidas football boots throughout his career having previously worn numerous personalised and bespoke designs, and as he waves goodbye to an illustrious international career the German legend will be laced up in a black and white edition of the adidas ACE 17.1 Leather with the colours of the German flag peeking through the Three Stripes.
Further finishing details consist of a German and Cologne flag on the tongues and his initials and squad number on each boot, along with the date of tonight's game against England, an opponent Podolski knows well from his days at Arsenal. Universally loved and respected as one of the best personalities in the game, it's warming to see adidas give the man the send off he deserves. He'll have a smile on his face throughout, not doubt.
