Toni Kroos honored by Adidas with new boot name TKPro
Toni Kroos ended his career with the German national team in a 2-1 loss in the Euro 2024 quarterfinals against Spain. The football boot manufacturer Adidas honored the remarkable midfielder by renaming his favorite model TKPro.
During his career, the German didn't vary his choices in football accessories. He remained loyal to a specific model of boots, and you can see him wearing them in archival photos and pictures from his last career match.
The boot manufacturer, Adidas, decided to honor Toni Kroos. The new name of his favorite model is TKPro, replacing the previous 11Pro. It’s a subtle change, but it will be associated with Toni Kroos for the foreseeable future.
Toni Kroos was strongly associated with the Adidas brand. This is partly because Adidas outfitted both teams he represented over the past decade. They supply kits for the German national team and Real Madrid. To add to that, Toni Kroos's previous clubs, Bayern Munich and Bayer 04 Leverkusen, also wore this brand's kits.
Toni Kroos decided to part ways with the German national team at the age of 34. His last match with the national team was the 2-1 loss in the Euro 2024 quarterfinals against Spain. The goal that led to Germany's elimination came in extra time.
The midfielder debuted with the national team in 2010 and played over 100 matches. He was a key member of the team that won the World Cup in 2014 and also claimed medals in the 2010 World Cup, Euro 2012, and Euro 2016. Toni Kroos's departure is a painful blow for many of his fans.
Toni Kroos hoped his farewell would happen in the Euro 2024 final. However, Germany did not progress beyond the quarterfinals of the tournament they were hosting.
