THE “PLAYER” 25TH - TIMELESS FORM. NEW LIGHT.
This project has been one of the most challenging and rewarding journeys of my career. Balancing a strong, recognizable design identity with the performance demands of a football boot is never simple. Countless concepts were discarded, prototypes reworked, and developments paused—an evolution that began almost two years ago before finally reaching the pitch, tested and ready for the game.
Choosing to produce it in Italy with master football-boot craftsmen gives this design a unique and irreplaceable value. The leather wraps the foot, supports it, and protects it in a way no synthetic material ever could.
A huge thank you to the incredible team I worked with—and continue to work with—for believing in my ideas and helping bring them to life.
