PRO-FILE: Nestory Irankunda
Nestory Irankunda joins The Boot Chef's family of pro-customers.
Nestory hit us up while he was back in Adelaide for the off-season, he needed boots, and fast. Three hours after his message, we had a pair of the limited edition Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 Elite FG Cosmic Speed Chapter 2 in his hands.
Position: Right Winger
Market Value: €4 Million
Preferred Boots: Nike Mercurial Vapor 13, 14, 15, 16 & Nike Phantom GX 1, 2.
Club: Bayern Munich FC
DOB: 9 February 2006
On 30 January 2022, he made his name famous in the A-League when he scored a stunning injury-time free-kick against Newcastle Jets, becoming the second youngest A-League scorer, aged 15 years and 355 days.
Nestory Irankunda’s explosive style of play at Adelaide United quickly caught the eye of top clubs around the world, with Bayern Munich securing his signature in 2023. He recently wrapped up a strong loan spell in the Swiss Super League with Grasshopper Club Zürich, featuring in 19 of 20 possible matches. Operating primarily from the right wing, he contributed one goal and three assists, and is now expected to rejoin Bayern’s Campus squad for pre-season preparations.
Nestory tested a few adidas boots during his time at boyhood club Adelaide United, but he has since signed a deal with Nike and is most often seen in his preferred Mercurial and Phantom silos.

Nestory Irankunda is undoubtedly one of the most exciting young talents Australia has ever produced. With raw pace, power, and the kind of fearlessness you can’t teach, he’s already made waves in the A-League, earned a move to Bayern Munich, and broken into the national team, all before his 20th birthday.
At just 19 years old, we’re still only seeing the beginning. The potential is immense, and if his development continues on its current path, there’s every chance he’ll become one of the defining players of his generation, not just in Australia, but on the world stage.
We’re proud to have played even a small part in his journey, and we can’t wait to see what’s next.
