Nice boots! Do they make them for men?
Finally, Nike answered Nani’s call for a prettier boot and he can now do his ballet moves in the corner, in conform AND style!
Seriously though… what are they thinking? The only legitimate reason I can come up with, besides what I already mentioned above, is that they’re preparing for the Women’s Euro in 2009… but that isn’t till the 23rd August 2009, so surely there’s enough time next year to promote these.
Nike don’t usually make such decisions without a lot of forethought, so I’m sure there’s good reasoning for the berry pink, but if they seriously think a professional “male” player is going to wear these boots in a competitive match (please don’t prove me wrong here Ronaldo and/or Nani), I think they’ve got another thing coming… well either that or the player who wears them is going to have to be really, really fucking quick! Just imagine the amount of people (present company included) that’ll be queuing up to slide tackle the knob that even tries to make these look cool. WHACK! Cop that you punce!
An artists impression of Cristiano Ronaldo wearing the Nike Mercurial Vapor IV Berry/Pink at training… notice the laughs he is receiving from everyone?
