EAGLE-EYED fans have spotted that Ollie Robinson has been wearing odd shoes during the first Test of the Ashes.
The England bowler ended on the losing side at Edgbaston as Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon stuck in to grind out a win for Australia.
Ollie Robinson gained the attention of fans by not for his bowling
It was because he was wearing odd shoes during the Test at Edgbaston
Robinson was among the bowlers that failed to nick the last two wickets that would have given England a perfect start to the Ashes series.
The Sussex star did collect five wickets during the Test but it was his footwear that caught the eye.
The bowler was seen wearing different shoes on each foot as he had one made by Adidas and one made by New Balance on.
And fans spotted the odd shoes as they took to social media.
One tweeted: “Ollie Robinson wears odd boots, pass it on…”
A second wrote: “Ollie Robinson is so village. Two different boots.”
However, there is a theory to suggest why Robinson is sporting different shoes.
The fast bowler has been struggling with a long-term ankle problem, an injury that required him to undergo scans and wear a protective boot as recently as May.

And the Telegraph has suggested that this could be the reason behind his footwear.
It claims that maybe the strapping around his ankle means that the New Balance shoe would not fit on his left foot and therefore means he needs the Adidas fit.
Reporter Will Macpherson Tweeted: “Ollie Robinson is wearing a New Balance boot on his right foot and an Adidas one on his left foot.
“Think it’s because strapping for his dodgy left ankle doesn’t fit in his preferred boot.”
Robinson will now rest up his ankle as he hopes to continue in the England team for the second test of the Ashes series at Lord’s.
