One of the most iconic boots ever released was the 1994 edition of the Nike Tiempo. That particular silo was released prior to the World Cup in 94, which was help here in the US. As boots go, players in the US took a pretty obvious liking to them and they sold in huge numbers. So, when Nike announced that they were releasing a limited edition number in an updated package, they quickly sold out. They still hold that traditional look and an overlapping tongue, but Nike added a modern, updated outsole for excellent traction and the boots were crafted exclusively in Italy.
Nice post. I think RVP's boots are the best because they are unique to him only and you can't even find that anywhere. It is not like they were made for a special occasion, he wears them all the time.
By the way, have anyone noticed Brandon Marshal from the Chicago bears wearing hyper venom during the Thursday night game? Maybe you guys can write a post about NFL players wearing soccer shoes. I know mostly will be kickers and punters but it might nice to know who wears soccer cleats.
I agree, I have seen more Nike id and great colorways on display from NFL kickers and punters, than I have seen all year from professional soccer.
