A design history of Nike football boots

Tracing Nike’s football footwear from its early all-black leather boots of the 1970s to the present, the book organizes its history around four product lines: Tiempo, Mercurial, Total 90, and Phantom. Its scope connects changes in boot design with the players associated with particular models, including Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo, Megan Rapinoe, and Kylian Mbappé. The subject sits at the intersection of sports history, product design, and fashion, with football boots treated as objects that have become part of the sport’s public imagery.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Football fans interested in the history of the sport’s footwear

Book overview

The first book to chart the unprecedented history of Nike's iconic football boots, from the evolution of their design to the legendary stars who have worn them

Football (or soccer) is surrounded by a particular mythology. As the world's most popular sport, its players and iconic performances have become part of public consciousness - and so have the boots that footballers wear.

Nike Football Boots charts the history of the brand's football journey, from the all-black leather boots introduced in the early 70s - the first of any shoe to feature the famous swoosh - to the present day, through four key product lines that encapsulate Nike's design ethos: Tiempo, Mercurial, Total 90, and Phantom. Along the way, readers will discover stories behind the boots worn by football's greatest names, including Brazilian striker Ronaldo, Portuguese phenom Cristiano Ronaldo, US Women's National Team star Megan Rapinoe, and emerging French icon Kylian Mbapp
