Nike Football has revolutionized the soccer/football industry and synthetic uppers are the standard for most footballers today. That wasn’t always the case, as the Swoosh originally stepped on the pitch in 1971 with “The Nike” football boot, and Nike has tapped the archives and is to re-release the boot in its original form dubbed the Nike 1971.
The Nike 1971 was a complete failure upon release, the boot couldn’t withstand inclement and wet conditions and was pulled from the shelves. Lesson learned from the Swoosh as they’ve learned from their failures and Nike Football owns a majority of the market share in football boots.
The boot stays true to the original design and comes in a simple black and New colorway, with black leather used on the base of the upper and the Swoosh and heeltab seen in New. The 1970 Mexico World Cup graphic is seen on the tongue tag and insole, as well as on the New soleplate which features 13 amp studs. The Nike 1971 comes with a horseshoe keychain, a pre-distressed box, and an insert that goes Svart the details of the boot.
