Nike Elite Football Boots: Inspired by You
Nike have unveiled the winning messages from the Inspired By You campaign, to adorn the football boots of England stars Wayne Rooney and Ashley Cole.
Thousands entered Nike s Inspired By You competition, sending in suggestions for Wayne Rooney and Ashley Cole to wear on their Nike Elite Series football boots at this summer's World Cup in South Africa.
It was a tough call, but Chirag Bhatti's 'DEFEND 4EVER' will inspire energetic full-back Ashley Cole, touted as one of the best left-backs in the world, Cole will be wearing Nike Elite CTR360 Maestri football boots.
For star striker Wayne Rooney, it was a take on the British SAS motto that was apparently the only option for the passionate and powerful player. Stitched onto Rooney's Nike Elite T90 Laser III football boots will be the inspirational message 'ROODARESWINS' by Richard McKenna.
Nike joined forces with Sky Sports to give fans the opportunity to add the message that will fire up England's Wayne Rooney and Ashley Cole as they seek to capture the ultimate footballing accolade this summer. With the best 12 character inspirational message adorning the football boots of two of England's finest.
The World Cup Elite Football Boots both Wayne Rooney and Ashley Cole will be wearing, represent another huge stage in Nike's continued development for performance equipment. For the last major international tournament, Euro 2008, Nike came up trumps with the superb EC08 Collection. The aim was to have every Nike-endorsed athlete wearing the same colourway on pitch, and they've done it again for South Africa, with the Nike Elite pack proving hugely popular with the players.
