Nike Football Boots

The coffee-table book "Nike Football Boots" is the first book to chart the unprecedented history of Nike's iconic soccer boots, from the evolution of their design to the legendary stars who have worn them.

Lavishly illustrated with 500 images, the book "Nike Football Boots" features close-ups of shoes, photos of shoes on feet, concepts, posters and advertisements, film stills. It traces the history of the brand's soccer adventure, from the all-black leather shoes introduced in the early 1970s - the first shoes with the famous swoosh - to today, through four key product lines that summarize Nike's design philosophy: Tiempo, Mercurial, Total 90 and Phantom. Along the way, readers discover the stories behind the shoes worn by soccer's biggest names, including Brazilian striker Ronaldo, Portuguese phenom Cristiano Ronaldo, U.S. Women's National Team star Megan Rapinoe and rising French icon Kylian Mbappé.

This visual homage to the sport is also fascinating reading: renowned author Caleb Azumah Nelson sets the tone for each chapter, discussing how the culture and style of the decade influenced the design of each soccer shoe, while historian Thomas Turner delves deeper into the technical innovations that made each soccer shoe so successful. An introduction by curator Eleanor Watson places soccer design in a broader context.
