History of Cruyff Classics: Johan Cruyff began to visualize his ideal football boot while based in Barcelona in the late 1970’s. It should excel in functionality, enhancing the player’s technique as well as looking elegant and stylish. Teaming up with his good friend, famous Italian shoe designer Emilio Lazzarini, they got to work and the Cruyff sports shoe was bornin 1979. The brand was a success with Cruyff football boots soon becoming the sports shoes of choice for soccer players across Europe, including latter-day icons such as Marco van Basten and Dennis Bergkamp. The brand developed sportswear for football, for indoor sports, hockey and leisure. The Cruyff Classics brand today continues to be inspired by Johan’s original vision and its sportswear epitomizes ‘fútebol’ elegance.
