Everyone Is Talking About Arsene Wenger's New Trainers

Arsene Wenger's Arsenal side have just finished their third pre-season friendly, with the Gunners drawing 1-1 with Bayern Munich, and not suffering another 5-1 thrashing this time.

Robert Lewandowski, who has been on the scoresheet in every single 5-1 drubbing Bayern have inflicted on Arsenal, opened the scoring from the spot in the first-half, before Alex Iwobi levelled matters with a well-taken goal in the 94th minute.

The Gunners would then go on to beat the Bavarians on penalties, with the score 3-2 in favour of the FA Cup winners.

But the undisputed highlight wasn't on the pitch, it was off it.

Arsene Wenger has been synonymous with the trademark zip-up coat that he's wore ever since taking the Arsenal job in 1996.

Yet, in the incredibly humid conditions in Shanghai for today's International Champions Cup contest, there was no need for Wenger to bring his jacket along to the dug-out.

And so he instead debuted a new fashion accessory.

Fans spotted the Premier League's longest-serving manager wearing some new Puma Arsenal trainers on the bench prior to the game, and social media blew up as a result.

Here are just some of the many reactions:

Be right back, just off to get a pair of Wenger's creps.
