Christian Eriksen Boots and Shirt Number

Christian Eriksen’s boots are made by Nike, which Transfermarkt lists as his kit sponsor. Which models he has worn, however, has not been announced by Nike or by the player – that information comes from websites that track players’ boots in match photos. For Denmark he has worn the number 10 since the 2018 World Cup, and at his clubs he has worn 51, 8, 23, 24, 21, 14 and 24. Here is the overview as of 25 October 2026.

Christian Eriksen kit: Nike is the sponsor

According to Transfermarkt, Christian Eriksen has a deal with Nike. Such deals are rarely published in detail, so we know neither the length nor the value and do not speculate about them. What match photos show is that he has worn Nike boots throughout his career, including at times when his club had a different kit supplier. That is normal: the club’s deal covers shirts, shorts and socks, while players choose their own boot sponsor.

He is without a club after his contract with VfL Wolfsburg was terminated on 23 September 2026, and he has not played a match since June 2026, so the boot information below relates to the matches he played up to then.

Christian Eriksen boots through his career

Professional players often switch model when Nike launches a new range, and they may receive custom-made pairs that differ from the retail version. Read the table with that in mind: these are the models boot-spotting sites and collectors say he has been seen wearing – not confirmed by Nike or the player.

The pattern, according to those sites, is that he wore Mercurial and Magista models for many years and moved to the Tiempo range in 2023. We have not found a statement in our sources in which he explains his choices, so we do not guess at the reasons. We do not link to shops either: if you want Christian Eriksen football boots of a particular model, compare the versions yourself, because a player’s pair is often customised.

Boot-spotting sites work by comparing colours, soleplates and details in match photos with Nike’s collections and noting when a player changes model. That gives a useful picture, but mistakes happen: players often test new models in plain colourways before they go on sale, and some have older models made up in new colours. That is why we write “seen in” rather than “plays in”.

The number 10 shirt for Denmark

For Denmark he started with number 21 at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, where he was the youngest player at the tournament. At Euro 2012 he wore number 8. From the 2018 World Cup he took the number 10, which he kept at Euro 2020, the 2022 World Cup, Euro 2024 and in the internationals of 2025 and 2026. The number suits his role as the classic attacking midfielder who creates chances and takes the free kicks.

Wearing the 10, he became the most-capped player in the history of the men’s national team in 2024. More on his international career on our page on Christian Eriksen and Denmark.

Christian Eriksen shirt numbers at his clubs

At club level his number has changed more often. The table shows what he wore where. The numbers at Ajax, Manchester United and VfL Wolfsburg are confirmed by the clubs, while 23 at Tottenham, 24 at Inter and 21 at Brentford are based on match data and media reports.

At Ajax he was first given number 51 when he made his first-team debut in January 2010, and number 8 from the summer of 2010. At Tottenham he wore 23 for more than six years – the number most English fans associate with him. At Manchester United he wore 14, and at Inter and Wolfsburg 24.

Buying a Christian Eriksen Tottenham shirt or Denmark shirt

Many fans look for a shirt with his name and number. Official shirts are sold by the clubs and their licensed partners, and the Denmark shirt through the Danish FA’s kit supplier hummel, which has supplied the national teams under a deal from 2016 that was extended in 2023 until 2032. We do not link to retailers.

As he is currently without a club, there is no current club shirt with his name on it. A Christian Eriksen Tottenham shirt is therefore an older season’s shirt: Spurs shirts from his time in London were made by Under Armour until 2017 and by Nike from the 2017–18 season. If you buy second-hand or retro, check the labels and licence tags, because many copies are on the market.

How we checked the kit information

Information about kit varies a lot in quality, so we distinguish three levels:

• Confirmed: the numbers at Ajax, Manchester United and VfL Wolfsburg, published by the clubs themselves, and his Denmark numbers, which appear in the official tournament squads.
• Match data and media: number 23 at Tottenham, 24 at Inter and 21 at Brentford. They are well known and recur in match data, but we do not have an official club announcement for them.
• Boot-spotting sites: the models in the table above. They are published but not confirmed, so we report them with that caveat.

The Nike deal is based on Transfermarkt. We do not give an amount or a length, because neither has been published. If you spot a mistake or have a source for a particular model, let us know via our contact page – we correct things when we can document the change.
