football boots. Check out the alternative colour Pele Sports 1970
Football Boots now
with our exclusive
SoccerBible First Look gallery...
The first foray into the boot market, these premium heritage style
football boots feature a clean, classic design with a focus for anyone
who can’t get enough of that Brazilian-style enthusiasm for the
game. Pele Sports say that this new range has been designed for "People
who just want to play or be part of the game, whether on a
full-size pitch or any patch of ground."
The boots are offered in both fixed firm ground and traditional 6-stud
soft ground sole plate options. The upper of the 1970 is made from a
premium kangaroo leather and a moulded insole, which makes this a soft,
supple and comfortable boot. Of course, so much premium leather means
this is no speed boot weight range, tipping the scales at just over
320g. But you certainly get a lot of classic retro boot for your money!
Modern design takes over the sole plate, with a dot matrix style print
pattern made up from different number "10s" - the number made so famous
in Brazilian yellow by Pele.
Released in three tiers and two colourways, the Pele Sports boots are
named after the World Cups which turned Pele [the player] into a house
hold name. The most famous being the 1970 World Cup, where a young Pele
and his Brasil side dominated the tournament to be arguably the greatest
side ever to grace the pitch. Fittingly then, Pele Sports chose the 1970
as their top level boot.
The iconic Pele signature adorns the outside heel of the boot and the
tongue, coloured to match the stitching around the boot.
The Pele Sports 1970 boots have a familiar look (we're sure plenty of
SoccerBible
regulars will have worked out what we mean) with a clean looking upper.
The larger fold down tongue incorporates the boot name logo at the
bottom, with variations for the 1970, 1962 and 1958 versions.
The Pele Sports 1970 Football Boots are available from today 10th June,
where you should expect to pay around £120 GBP / $180 USD for
these top of the range football boots.
