One of Thailand's oldest shoe makers promises to produce its first ever red canvas shoes if Liverpool capture the Premier League title on Sunday night.

Nanyang posted a Facebook message on Sunday saying it will manufacture red canvas shoes if Liverpool is crowned the champion.

Nanyang's canvas shoes have been popular among students since the company put the first 70 pairs of shoes on the shelves in 1953.

The Reds will end their 29-year title drought this year if they win and leaders Manchester City lose. A draw for Liverpool is not enough due to the goal difference in favour of the reigning champions.

Second-placed Liverpool host Wolves and Manchester City travel to Brighton for the decider with a one-point lead.

Nanyang's announcement drew reactions from its followers on Facebook. "I will definitely buy one!!! 5555+," one follower said.

"Better change to blue. It's more beautiful," another joked, referring to the colour of the Manchester City team.
