Mario Balotelli launches mohawk football boots for children

Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli has launched a new range of football boots featuring his trademark mohawk.

The boots, which are manufactured by the Italian's sponsor Puma, are designed for children, and have a mohawk down the heel, plus Balotelli's infamous "Why always me?" saying printed on the side.

The blue, white and silver footwear has prompted a mixed response on Twitter:

Balotelli has been linked with a move away from Liverpool this summer, having scored just once in the Premier League last season.
