Olise Threw His Shin Pads Away. We Spent Two Weeks Working Out Why - And What Players Are Wearing Instead

Published on June 10, 2026 by Tyler Caton

👉 Read this if you want to move like Olise...

It started with that viral clip I'm sure you've all seen...

A few seconds, before his Champions League debut, Olise pulls his shin pads out of his socks and throws them away.

The comments did what comments do. Reckless. Arrogant. Asking for a broken leg.

We thought the same thing, to be honest.

Then we started asking around - academy coaches, kit men, semi-pro players, and every single conversation went the same way.

NOBODY WAS SURPRISED. And nobody thought it was about protection.

Here are 5 reasons why Olise was right to throw away his shin pads…

1. Real Ballers Understand Why He Did It

Watch the clip again and notice WHAT he throws away. Hard, bulky, outdated plastic like bricks.

Every player reading this has worn one. And every player reading this has reached down mid-game to shove it back up.

HE JUST STOPPED PUTTING UP WITH IT.

Not because he doesn't care about his shins. Because his game runs on touch, pace and balance, and a pad that moves gets in the way of all three.

So he played with nothing on.

EVERY COACH WE SPOKE TO SAID THE SAME THING: don't do that.

But they also said they understood why he did.

2. You Can't Do What He Did

Here's the problem with copying him.

He plays on a perfect pitch, in front of a physio, against professionals who get fined for a bad tackle.

YOU PLAY ON A SUNDAY MORNING against a lad who's been waiting all week to kick someone.

Most leagues won't even let you on the pitch without shin pads. And you shouldn't want to - one stray boot on a bare shin ends your season.

So you're stuck with two options. Strap the bricks back on, or take a risk you can't afford.

THAT'S THE REAL PROBLEM. Not the pad. The fact that nobody ever gave you a third choice.

3. There Is A Third Choice. The Pros Found It First.

Most pros didn't go without anything. They swapped the plastic for a SLEEVE with the protection built in.

Same shins covered. None of the sliding.

João Pedro wears them. So do Omari Hutchinson, Joe Willock and Jack Hinshelwood. Even Cristiano Ronaldo Jr wears them.

Searches for shin pad sleeves have now OUTSEARCHED Nike and Adidas shin pads by 30%.

Serious ballers already know.

4. The Brains Behind It

The sleeve those players are wearing is made by JOGA.

BEHIND JOGA ARE FOUR BROTHERS.

The Chisletts. Ethan & Zack both play professionally. Jagger is working is way through non league. And Cruz is coming through the Brighton academy!

Four brothers, four levels of the game — and all four grew up taping plastic to their shins every Sunday like everyone else.

So they built the thing they wanted. Not a version of the old pad. A sleeve with the protection built into the fabric.

THAT'S WHY IT'S DIFFERENT. It was made by players who'd actually had the problem, not by a design team who'd never played.

5. Why We'd Buy A Pair Today

Two weeks of asking around. Here's the short version.

The sliding stops. Silicone strip grips your skin, meaning no reaching down, no tape, ever again.

Protection is on point. TTP padding built into the fabric, shaped to your shin. Soft at rest, hardens on impact.

YOU'VE GOT TWO OPTIONS LEFT. Another season of pulling your socks up at every throw-in. Or this.
