Update: Erling Haaland has debuted the brand-new Nike Phantom GX football boots in today's Premier League match against Crystal Palace.

Haaland Wears Nike x Tiffany "Family & Friends" Editions
Haaland was spotted wearing a special edition varsity jacket and Nike AF-1 shoes, both in a Friends & Family edition of the Nike x Tiffany & Co. ‘1837’ collaboration.

This makes an extension of the Nike x Haaland deal yet again a bit more likely.
