Nike Botas de Fútbol explora la mitología que rodea a generaciones de futbolistas y las botas que usan. Descubre las historias detrás de las botas que usaron superestrellas como la leyenda del Liverpool Ian Rush, el delantero brasileño Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima, el icono emergente Mbappe y las estrellas de la seleccion femenina de Estados Unidos Megan Rapinoe y Mia Hamm (la unica futbolista con una bota distintiva), por nombrar solo algunos.Partiendo de la decada de 1970, al inicio de la trayectoria de Nike en el futbol, este libro recorre la historia de su calzado, desde las botas de cuero completamente negras presentadas en 1971 (las primeras en incorporar el famoso Swoosh) hasta la actualidad, pasando por las cuatro lineas de producto clave que representan su filosofia de diseño: Tiempo, Mercurial, Total 90 y Phantom.Con mas de 500 imagenes, incluyendo primeros planos de las botas, imagenes en los pies, conceptos, posteres y publicidad, capturas de pantalla, muestras de materiales, bocetos, prototipos y material efimero del archivo de Nike, y un encarte brillante de 12 paginas que muestra todos los modelos de botas que Nike ha fabricado, este es el libro definitivo para aficionados y coleccionistas. El celebre autor Caleb Azumah Nelson presenta el contexto de cada capitulo, mientras que el historiador Thomas Turner explora las innovaciones tecnicas detras de cada bota, y la curadora Eleanor Watson ofrece una introduccion accesible al diseño de botas de futbol. Este volumen sin precedentes presenta la historia de como las botas de futbol se convierten en parte de la conciencia publica, donde el rendimiento y la aficion se combinan, y las prendas que se usan son tan iconicas como quienes las usan.

Dos jóvenes se conocen en un pub del sudeste de Londres. Ella es bailarina, él fotógrafo, ambos afrodescendientes nacidos en Inglaterra que intentan abrirse camino en una ciudad que al mismo tiempo los celebra y los rechaza. Aquella noche, cuando se presentan, la atmosfera del local se carga de electricidad: se produce entre ellos una atraccion inmediata, una conexion espiritual profunda. A partir de entonces, se van enamorando de forma tierna y cautelosa, conscientes de las dificultades y las contradicciones a las que se enfrenta un primer amor como el suyo. Un debut extraordinario, que destaca por su estilo elegante a la vez que arriesgado, y que trata sobre la fuerza del amor, la vulnerabilidad que provocan las dudas, el dolor ante la perdida y el cansancio de nadar a contracorriente.
