When Minamino isn’t busy stuffing his face full of gobstoppers and sour keys bought in costco sized packages, he’s frequently found struggling with his infamous feet. Namely the size and width of those behemoths are often the concern and butt of jokes among his teammates, where “bigfoot” is often heard during practices, trips and sometimes slipping out during games. He’s been known to have a serious shopping habit, shopping for shoes of various main brands, hoping to land a sponsorship to no avail, as he has to wear sizes 3 times bigger in other to accommodate his wide feet. Nike and Adidas has not publicly commented on these rumors. New Balance has openly spoken highly of the player given his preference for their brand when he is unwilling to find anything else that reasonably fits. When asked about this detail, Minamino has commented saying that his feet were not of anybody’s concern. Teammates have often shared to be giving him a wide berth in order to avoid being stopped on.
