Is Josip Iličić the most hidden sneakerhead of Serie A?

The world of football is full of sneakerheads, but there are those who show their passion on social media and those who remain in the shadows. Josip Iličić is exactly that kind of footballer, a big fan of custom boots on the pitch - his collection has already become legendary - and a hidden lover of sneakers off the pitch. The Atalanta Professor is playing with his Slovenia and has just returned from the victory against Malta and, on the occasion of the qualifying match for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the forward of the Bergamo team wore in the pre-match a pair of Jordan 1s Low Fragment x Travis Scott. They are the same model that Siniša Mihajlović also wore in the last matches of Bologna, a sneakerhead who has a completely different approach to the silent Iličić.

The rumors about the Slovenian playmaker's passion for sneakers had already come from Matteo Pessina who, during the second episode of the first season of The SneakerPod, told us about the relationship between football and sneakers and about JoJo's vocation. Iličić could be included in the list of five unsuspected EURO2020 sneakerheads, but his Slovenia failed to qualify for the adventure that brought Italy to the top of Europe. The past year and a half hasn't been quiet for Prijedor's talent, both on and off the pitch. Not being a very social player, the possibility of showing his best purchases than him is not very high but every time you post an off-pitch photo it shows how good his sneaker attitude is.
