Brand New Spring Summer 2012 Cruyff Classics Trainers

One of the first top footwear brands to appear this season is the very premium and vintage Dutch brand Cruyff Classics. Founded and originally designed by the great man himself Johan Cruyff the brand is getting stronger season by season and for spring summer 2012. Priced between £90 and £110 the range carries with it the signature ‘C Flash’ logo on the outstep as well as gold embossed Johan Cruyff autographs and small metal or leather panels that indicate the style of shoe be it a classic such as Recopa or Vanenburg or a new style for this season, early styles have been launched as Pep, Velasco or Vicenzo. With the summer season also upon us within the next few months (hopefully) we can see superb colours such as white, grey, navy and black which are ready to be matched with shorts, chinos or tapered jeans this year.

The designs have remained fairly classic looking with thin rubber sole units, large metal rimmed eyelets for the laces and a large tongue which was standard among football boots and shoes of the eighties and early nineties. The use of suede, leather and patent is evident throughout while the Velasco are the first pair of Cruyff Classics to mimick common designs of football boots by placing (or hiding) the laces underneath a panel, which in this case is patent leather. These shoes aren’t in the same ilk at the other designer sportswear brands such as Adidas Originals or Nike, but easily hold their own as fashion footwear with the Diesel, G Star and Lacoste style of brands.

Perfect for the coming summer a pair of Cruyff Classics should be high on your shopping list alongside some chino shorts, polo shirts and tapered jeans. Be the first to wear the shoes and show your mates that you’re ahead of the fashion with these amazing Cruyff Classics trainers.
