Vedat Muriqi has attracted great attention on social media after an unusual detail in his sportswear.
The Kosovo striker was photographed wearing a Nike tracksuit identical to the one worn by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro during his arrest.
The grey tracksuit with black details has gone viral after photos of Muriqi were shared by fans and sports media. The same tracksuit is worn by La Liga club RCD Mallorca, where the official version only has the club's crest embroidered on the chest.
The set is made from recycled materials and is sold separately: the top costs €99,99, while the bottom costs €55,99, making the total €155,98 for the set.
After the photos were published, the tracksuits sold out on Nike's official website within just a few hours, showing the unprecedented impact that the arrest of the former Venezuelan president has had.
Social media was filled with jokes and comments about the resemblance between the striker and the Venezuelan president, while football and fashion fans widely discussed his style and virality.
Although the online offer has been exhausted, the tracksuits can still be found in some physical stores, however the remaining stock is expected to sell out very quickly.
This phenomenon shows how a small detail in clothing can become a media hit and immediately impact the global sales of a major brand like Nike. /Telegraph/
