This white special edition jersey has a minimalist look and special details that run through the theme, such as the emblem that combines the club badge with the image of a player with a clenched fist, and the jersey number style of socrates at the peak of the 1980s. The upper part of the back is printed with the words "Doutor Sócrates", a faithful and completely new interpretation of the democratic logo used by Corinthians at that time.

Nike released "The Nike" limited edition replica soccer boots
Released in 1971, the "The Nike" limited edition replica soccer shoes are Nike's blockbuster new products on the soccer shoe market this week.
The limited edition replica boots 1:1 faithfully recreate the first soccer shoe launched by Nike's predecessor, Blue Ribbon Sports, in 1971, and the Nike soccer boots, manufactured by the Mexican manufacturer, are also the first products in the brand's history to bear the Swoosh logo. Although the first year's sneaker encountered a "quality gate" after its launch, this could not change its important position in the history of the Nike brand.
The new The Nike Limited Edition Replica Soccer Boots are a faithful replica of that classic boot from 50 years ago. In addition to being faithful to the look of the first year model, the leather upper features a sewn Nike Swoosh on both sides, just as the boots were when they were first born 50 years ago. The pattern of the tongue and insoles is derived from the prototype of the sneaker, the "Mundial 70" football shoe created by a Mexican manufacturer for the 1970 World Cup. Considering the material and performance of the sneaker, it is clear that it is for the collector's showcase. I don't know if any of you EZer have already started it?
