New Balance has unveiled a distinctive new boot designed in tribute to Harvey Elliott’s cherished companion, his dog Paisley. Known as the Tekela V4 ‘Paisley’ edition, this footwear reflects Elliott’s strong bond with his four-legged friend.
Elliott, known for his early career milestones like becoming the youngest player in the EFL Cup and the Premier League, has been a Liverpool fan throughout his life. His decision to name his dog after the city of Liverpool highlights the depth of his connection to both the club and his pet.
The Tekela V4 ‘Paisley’ edition features a striking red base complemented by silver accents. The boot proudly displays Elliott’s HE19 tag on the ‘N’ branding, with additional detailing such as scattered silver bones and Paisley’s image on the heel, alongside his name.
Elliott explained the personal touches in the design, including butterfly motifs on the insoles and dog bone patterns throughout. These elements, while subtle from a distance, hold personal significance for Elliott, reflecting his unique style and connection to his dog.
The launch of this special edition boot not only celebrates Elliott’s achievements on the field but also underscores his personal journey and the meaningful influences in his life, including his faithful companion Paisley.
