Nike has officially launched a special edition boot called “The 1971,” marking the 50th anniversary of its first ever football boot, “The Nike,” which was originally created for the 1970 World Cup. This release is designed to appeal to traditionalists, featuring the exact specifications of a classic from that era.
Design Details
The boot features a soft black leather upper with the iconic white Nike Swoosh. Inside the cleat, a graphic reference to the Mexico 1970 World Cup is included. Underfoot, a classic white soleplate uses 13 conical studs, the dominant outsole design when these cleats first hit the market. Notably, the tongue includes a reference to Canada because the brand was originally named Canada Footwear Company, and the boot itself was called “The Nike.”
Historical Significance
This release honors the original boot developed for the 1970 World Cup, a milestone in Nike’s football heritage. The design stays true to the era’s aesthetics and construction, making it a collector’s item for fans of vintage football gear.
Limited Release
“The 1971” is a special edition with a very limited number of pairs available in the US only.
