9th MARCH 2021 England international footballer and North London starlet Bukayo Saka is the newest addition to New Balance’s athlete roster.
Saka who won his first England cap in October 2020, has an incredible 18 assists and 10 senior goals, at just 19 years old, making him one of the game’s most exciting young talents.
Family has been influential in the versatile forward’s development and was enlisted by New Balance to help photograph his debut campaign for the brand. The photos were captured in part by Bukayo’s brother.
A partnership with the global athletic leader is another landmark moment for the Golden Boy award nominee.
