AS Roma legend Francesco Totti is the epitome of loyalty in world football, having spent 25 years at his boyhood club.
And to mark the staggering feat of a quarter of a century at one club – Nike have unveiled its latest limited edition boots: The Tiempo Totti X Roma.
“I’m honoured that Nike have designed these especially for me,” said Totti. “When I thought about a boot that could reflect the 25 years of my career, I immediately thought of gold. The gold symbolises my city and the success that I’ve had with Roma and the national team.
“This boot had to encapsulate all my values – my family, AS Roma and the city of Rome. Nike understood straightaway how to create these boots.
“Nike are always spot on when it comes to sportsmen’s demands over detail and that was the case with this project too. The boots have plenty of references to my career and my family. They’re the result of a lot of hard work.”
Only 2,500 pairs of the boots will be available and can be bought from Nike.com.
