Introducing the Sokito Scudetta boot, the revolutionary football footwear showcased by Team Nigeria’s captain, William Troost-Ekong, during the Africa Cup of Nations. Launching officially later this summer, these boots feature a unique design inspired by Nigeria’s landscape and the vibrant green colorway of the team’s kit.
The Scudetta boot stands out not only for its striking design but also for its strong commitment to sustainability. Touted as the most sustainable football boot on the market, it incorporates eco-friendly elements such as suede lining and a tongue made from corn waste, a sole plate crafted from castor beans, an insole composed of sugarcane and bamboo, and a knit collar made from Tencel wood fibers. Remarkably lightweight at 181g, this boot combines style with environmental consciousness.
William Troost-Ekong, Team Nigeria’s captain, investor, and brand ambassador for Sokito, expressed his excitement about the boot’s development process. He commended the vibrant design and its homage to nature, seeing it as a fitting tribute to Nigeria.
Jake Hardy, Sokito’s founder, shared the thrill of witnessing Troost-Ekong wear the custom Sokitos during the match, celebrating the achievement and anticipating the official launch of the Scudetta boot.
