Pele Sports Gear - New Range
He is the greatest footballer of all time; a magician, a hero to countless fans, and a global icon. Now Pele is the inspiration for a new brand of football gear, and the SoccerBible has an exclusive look at some of the new collection from Pele Sports.
With the football legends' birthday just around the corner (23/10/10), we thought now would be an appropriate time to take a look at the latest collection from a man who's name is synonymous with football quality.
Pele used his talents to forge an unforgettable career, but the football superstar has never forgotten where he began: on the streets, as a Pelada player. A nine year old Pele promised his father some day I'll win the World Cup for you , three World Cup titles later and he certainly made good on that promise!
Named FIFA Player of the Century and IOC Athlete of the Century, no other footballer has matched Pele. His phenomenal record of 1283 goals says it all. Pele played for joy, his smile, his tricks, and the delight he displayed while in action have provided a wealth of iconic images no one can forget, showcased on the current range of clothing. As Pele himself remembers One of the best photographs anyone ever took of me is me doing the bicycle kick. I feel a strong connection to this move, and it's also somehow a very Brazilian move. I'm proud of it.
Pele's famous bicycle kick is just one of a host of stunning and iconic images featured in the new Pele sports range. The shirts are designed to embody a fan's admiration for the greatest football player of all time and for what may be his best tricks. And as a classy extra, the bicycle kick tee is composed of 1,283 colourful dots as a proud reminder of the number of goals Pele scored during his prestigious career.
Pele now uses his influence, passion and love for the game to promote Futebol bonito to the next generation of street and professional footballers across the globe. The Pele Sports range, which incorporates performance wear and football boots, is designed to use the influence and inspiration of O Rei to carry the spirit of Futebol bonito - beautiful football.
The football boots and performance gear from the Pele Sports range offer no gimmicks, no fuss and no fancy frills, they are purely concerned with just the game. Named after the years Pele became a World Champion, the pinnacle of the range is the Pele Sports 1970 Football Boots. Featuring a supple one-piece kangaroo leather upper and a reinforced heel area to provide optimum comfort, the Pele 1970's have intelligent cleat alignment and pressure distribution on the outsole to absorb pressure and channel energy, these are soccer shoes designed to perform.
The new Pele Sports range includes performance football boots, retro clothing and more, all blessed with that iconic "Pele" signature. Quite famously, Pele is very precious when it comes to putting his name to football gear, so no matter what our opinion may be, at the end of the day if it's good enough for the greatest footballer of all time, then it's good enough for us!
