I'm buzzing about this new brand making waves in the football. It's called Sokito, and they're not just about making killer boots, they're about changing the game for good.
Now, I know what you're thinking: another boot brand? But trust me, Sokito is different. They're UK-based, hand-crafting these eco-friendly boots that are seriously impressive. They're talking about maximum impact on the pitch, not the planet, and they're walking the walk.
They've got this incredible boot recycling scheme, which is a game-changer, and they were the first brand to get a boot certified by The Vegan Society. And get this, they've created a boot made almost entirely from bio-based materials! It's not just talk, people, they're actually doing it.
And guess what? Athletes are starting to take notice. One of the biggest names in MLS, DeAndre Yedlin, just joined the Sokito family as an investor and ambassador. He's playing alongside other big names like Ashley Westwood from Charlotte FC, Sebastian Lletget from FC Dallas, and Jasmyne Spencer from Angel City in the NWSL. They've even got William Troost-Ekong, a former Premier League player and Nigerian star, on board.
DeAndre's all about sustainability, and he sees Sokito as a way to make a real difference. He's not just about playing football, he wants to use his platform to make the world a better place. He said, “The future of the planet is incredibly important, because it’s what our kids are going to be living on,” he explained. “Anything I can do to play my part in helping, I am going to do. Sokito was really interesting for me, because the brand shared so many of the values that I already have. It's also a boot that people want to wear, on top of being good for the planet.”
And let me tell you, these boots are fire. They've got two main silos, the Scudetta and the Devista, both available in vegan models. They even ditched K-leather, which is a huge step in the right direction.
So, if you're looking for boots that are not only stylish and performant but also good for the planet, look no further than Sokito. They're changing the game, one boot at a time.
