PanARMENIAN.NetSwithadot, a company creating handmade customized footwear, has unveiled the latest modification of the trans-generational adidas Predator 18’s, for one of the greatest Premier League football stars, Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

"We took inspiration from his unique character – he is so humble and positive. That’s why, we went for ‘old look’ texture, making them look like a treasure found after half a century in a forgotten closet," the company website says.

"A full make-over was imminent, this time in both Armenia and Arsenal F.C. famous colours."

The details – free hand-drawn Arsenal logo and Armenian’ Coat of Arms symbol. On the inside – ‘The Gunners’ tag – for all the supporters, and ‘Armenia’ written on domestic language. Finally, both his ‘7’ and ’18’ are done in the heel area.

Mkhitaryan captains the Armenian national team and moved from manchester United to Arsenal in January.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
