This week, as the tension mounts and the anticipation becomes almost unbearable, we ask ‘What will you be wearing for the 2010 world cup?’
Cruyff Classics, menswear sports brand founded by soccer legend Johan Cruyff, has designed some great limited editions in honour of the 2010 World Cup (tee’s and shoes mainly) so you can look and feel extra special during the World Cup Extravaganza.
Let’s start with the shoes – the collection, from Cruyff Sports, is called Bafana Bafana, the affectionate term for the South African national team which means ‘the Boys’. The shoes are limited edition, in quality leather and come in four designs, packed with the vibrant colours of South Africa. Bafana Bafana shoes are very stylish indeed! And the best bit – each shoe has an inscription on the lip (or is it tongue?) stating ‘world cup South Africa 2010’. So these boots are primed to become prized possessions. Prices start at €89.95 but you need to be aware that the Bafana Bafana shoe collection is only available in the Netherlands. At the time of going to press, there are still pairs available at the Cruyff Classics store in Amsterdam.

If you happen to be Dutch or even just an Oranje fan, Cruyff Classics has the perfect t-shirt for you. Inspired by the heady days of the seventies when footballers first became celebrities and Johan Cruyff came to personify Total Football, the tee is in the replica ‘retro orange’ of the 1974 shirts worn by Holland and comes complete with a snazzy v-neck, and inevitably the number 14! Great value at €29.95! Available at the Cruyff store or you can also buy online.
