  • Capcom presents Lukas Podolski's Street Fighter shoes.
  • Ryu or Ken: Which Street Fighter character does Poldi prefer?

Lukas Podolski is an absolute favorite with many football fans. With his open and honest manner , he won not only the hearts of Cologne, but all of Germany. Even gamers who cannot do much with football should now see the 2014 world champion in a different light. For his new club, Lukas Podolski will be wearing street fighter-style soccer shoes .

Where Lukas Podolski got the idea with the Street Fighter shoes is crystal clear. The professional footballer has lived in the Japanese city of Kobe for the past three years and played for the local club Vissel Kobe, which also includes world stars like Andres Iniesta and David Villa . In Asia, addiction to gaming seems to have gripped him. However, his gaming passion is not only shaped by Street Fighter. The 23-year-old has also expressed his love for FIFA 20 several times.

After winning the League Cup with Vissel Kobe, Podolski actually wanted to go back home to 1. FC Köln . The Cologne officials only want to accommodate their "Prince Poldi" after his active career in the club. Since Lukas Podolski still wants to kick a few years, he was drawn to Turkey for the second time . This time to Antalyaspor .

This is what Lukas Podolski's Street Fighter shoes look like

The shoe artist Pierre Navarro has accomplished a real magic piece. On the soccer cleats he made, the two street fighter characters Ryu and Ken can be seen doing their famous Hadouken and Shoryuken attacks. However, since the kickers are a version of the Adidas Model X 17.1s specially made for the former international, fans will probably not enjoy them. You can't buy Street Fighter shoes (yet).

The artist applied the special design by hand. The result is really impressive. In addition to the two fighters, Lukas Podolski's shirt number and his name can also be seen on the soccer shoes. It is probably only a matter of time before Podolski scores his first goal with his shoes. Since Lukas Podolski is left-footed, Ryu can look forward to a few more goals than Ken.

Playing Street Fighter in retro style is no problem thanks to Capcom's new console. On ingame.de * you can see how the Capcom Home Arcade performs in the test.

The latest commercials for the Super Bowl 2020 prove that Lukas Podolski is not the only athlete who is a fan of video games. E-athletes meet traditional athletes. During the commercials, two streaming legends were given a cameo.
