We can hardly contain ourselves at the news of the next big thing in the beautiful game: hi-tech, superbly fitted and extremely hi-tech football boots.
Nike's poster child Iniesta is moved and in his awe he tells the Daily Mail "the fit of the boot is so unique that I don't think about it when I'm wearing it". Have Nike finally solved the long-standing obstacle to the fluidity of football? I'm speaking of course, about the unassailable psychological problem that is the thought of what your boots look and feel like when you're playing.
Yes. They have.
Four years of research culminates in the Nike Magista and the Adidas Primeknit FS. The boots that have a bit of sock.
Andres Iniesta continues to sing its praises, considering its comfiness he says "the big difference versus prior boots is that it's practically like having a glove on your foot", referring to the well-known fact that gloved-feet are of the utmost comfiness and are particularly practical when playing football.
So we're "practically" there. This is what flip-flops did for the beach day out, this is what hiking boots did for the tourist office in Machu Picchu. This is the future.
Please go out and buy, buy, buy. You will soon be scouted by Stoke FC as I also hear that they come equipped with a retractable bayonet. We would absolutely love to hear your stories.
