FIFA 22 will bring back the iconic boots from 2000

September 20th, 2021
Although FIFA 22 but in general now all games are projected into the future, this year even the most popular football game will make us go back to the past. The game is about to be released and in the latest trailer released by EA Sports in which the protagonist is Wayne Rooney, the Nike Air Zoom Total 90 III, one of the most iconic shoes of the 2000s, remained in the history of the swoosh, also worn by Luis Figo and Rio Ferdinand, have not gone unnoticed. In another trailer featuring both Casillas and Van Persie, the two footballers are wearing adidas Predators. After these two trailers it seems clear that EA Sports will introduce in the game all or almost all the iconic shoes of the 2000s, from Nike through adidas, a real return to the past.
The year 2000 saw the return of a model that had made history, when Nike was about to leave behind a series of practically identical models that differed only in name and colouring - the ''Air Zoom International'', the ''Air Zoom Italia'' and the ''Air Zoom Roma'' - to introduce the ''Air Zoom Total 90 l'', a shoe with an avant-garde design with lateral lacing towards the outside of the foot to favour a cleaner ball strike. A shoe designed for the most technical players on the planet, but which would soon be in the public domain thanks to the advertising promoted by Nike, the first since the ''Good vs Evil'' commercial in 1996, which featured a real director: ''The Mission''. Similarly, in the world of football boots, the Predator by adidas is an icon among icons. Since their launch 26 years ago, they have been worn by a host of global superstars, from Zinedine Zidane to Alessandro Del Piero to David Beckham. These models are impossible to forget and will return to prominence in a game designed to bridge the gap between real and digital.
