Sam Kerr will return to the football pitch in style.
The Chelsea and Australia striker and her apparel sponsor have released her first pair of signature boots.
Kerr has not played a competitive match since rupturing her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in January 2024, though did return to training at the start of this calendar year.
“I’m really excited,” Kerr told Wide World of Sports. “I still can’t believe it, honestly, every time I see [the boots] or talk to someone about them. Not many people have been allowed to see them. Some of my family haven’t seen them — my little cousins are dying to see them.”
Since her injury at a warm weather training camp in Morocco almost two years ago, Kerr became a mother – her son, Jagger, was born in May 2025.
The two-time Olympian, who is the captain of the Australian national team known as the Matildas, is aiming to be back for the start of the domestic season in September 2025.
Six-time reigning Women’s Super League champions Chelsea begin the campaign on 5 September against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.
