Vinicius Junior wore a pair of plain black boots during Real Madrid's game against Valencia at the Bernabeu on Thursday night - as his row with Nike rumbles on.
Vinicius, 22, wants to end his 10-year partnership with the American company, but there is no termination clause in his contract and the two parties have reportedly struggled to agree a solution. However, the Brazilian appeared to take matter into his own hands on Thursday night.
Vinicius took to the pitch ahead of the LaLiga clash against Valencia wearing 'blackout' boots, which do not include any branding. Nike have not publicly responded to the forward's act of defiance, although he did put on a pair of Nike boots for the second half.
