Check out the new Sokito Scudetta football boots from the 'Nigeria' pack below.
The Sokito Scudetta Nigeria soccer cleats feature a unique design inspired by Nigeria's landscape and incorporate the green colorway of the team's iconic home and away kit. The sole plate also features an intricate design that references the lines and symbols found in topography.
The Sokito Scudetta is made from mainly bio-based materials but weighs only 181g.
What is possibly even more interesting than the design is the tech. The all-new Sokito Scudetta is anticipated to be the most sustainable football boot to hit the market - the first to be made from mainly bio-based materials.
Materials used for the Scudetta include corn waste, castor beans, sugarcane, and bamboo. Still, the Sokito Scudetta is made for ultimate performance and is lightweight - it weighs in at just 181g, making it one of the lightest football boots available on the market currently.
Sokito did not reveal which material the upper is made of. Footy Headlines expects it to be made from recycled plastic bottles, as written on the upper.
