In a momentous achievement, Memphis Depay has carved his place in Dutch football lore by surpassing Robin van Persie to become the Netherlands’ top male goal scorer, netting his 51st and 52nd goals.
To celebrate this significant milestone, PUMA has collaborated with the forward to unveil the MD51 ULTRA—a bespoke, limited-edition boot that encapsulates Depay’s journey both on and off the field.
The design of these exclusive boots is rooted in a white base, with two distinct color themes: one in blue and black, symbolizing family, faith, and culture; the other in orange and black, representing his footballing achievements. The boots are adorned with personal touches, including his iconic lion tattoo, the number 10, tributes to his Ghanaian heritage, and a heartfelt homage to his mother, Cora.
However, fans eager to own a pair will be disappointed. Only 51 pairs have been produced, each allocated to individuals who have significantly influenced Depay’s life—from family and mentors to his closest friends.
“I was a young boy with big dreams; a cub became a lion on the biggest stage,” Depay reflected. “Achieving the status of the Netherlands’ top male goal scorer is a true honor. I wanted to commemorate this by offering a special token of appreciation to those who have supported me throughout my journey.”
For Depay, it’s less about hype drops and more about a personal thank you. And for everyone else? Another reminder that the man with the lion on his chest now roars the loudest in Dutch football history.
