Sadio Mane is known for his pressing, speed, and dribbling skills. To support his dynamic performance, New Balance has been helping to form a football boot.

The Massachusetts-based sportswear brand revealed "The Lions Roar" football boots for the player before the Africa Cup of Nations, aka AFCON. On January 7, 2022, the sportswear label made an official press release announcing its collab with the Senegal player Sadio Mane. The official site introduces the football boots as:

"Senegal international Sadio Mané has collaborated with New Balance on special-edition boots ahead of Africa's major tournament. Introduced in vivid Impulse Orange and Blue tones, the boots named 'THE LION ROARS' have been crafted as a symbol of the Senegalese inspiring the next generation of young lions."

The football boots come clad in Impulse Orange/ Blue color scheme. The football boots feature an illustrative soleplate graphic, representing the forward's peak performance and powers while he plays for his homeland.

The New Balance FURON 6+ football boots are designed to be explosive and were launched after the duo previously worked on the special edition Centurion Boots in honor of the Liverpool forward attacker's 100th Premier League goal. Sadio Mane has been in collaboration with the New Balance label since 2018 and has been a face for the label alongside Raheem Sterling.

The upper of the shoe is constructed out of lightweight synthetic material, while the inner lining is made out of synthetic suede. The synthetic suede adds comfort and moisture management. Moreover, the football boots' wear is high-resolution and a smarter fit since it delivers durability and stretch for a form fit.

The football boot is given a low-knit collar for a sock-like fit, and a lockdown fit with the anti-slip top cloth to reduce foot slippage inside the shoe.

Sadio Mane debuted his signature football boots on the ground against Zimbabwe in AFCON on January 10, 2022. The shoe made its official global debut on January 21, 2022, in limited pairs via the official e-commerce site of New Balance at a retail price of £180. Currently, they can be availed at reseller Futbolemotion at €179,99.
