Cruyff Trainers

It’s a sunny Barcelona, its 1979 and the most complete Dutch total footballer Johan Cruyff is developing his own sports brand. Fed up with the conventional sportswear brands Cruyff’s vision is to create a stylish yet functional sports shoe that will beat its 80s rivals by looking better, feeling better and having being designed by one of the most technically gifted footballers to ever grace a football pitch offer an insight into how he prefers to look and play. Cruyff Classics were born, and for the next 10 years or so really took off in Holland and Europe, with top Dutch footballers Van Basten, Bergkamp and Vanenburg playing their best football in Johan Cruyff designed footwear. His good friend and Italian designer Emilio Lazzarini ensured that the design aspects and the comfort were evident in the inspired Cruyff footwear, making them the finished article. As the 80s progressed Cruyff trainers and sports shoes were seen on all kinds of pitches, but the main trainer collection was developed for football, indoor sports and hockey. The Dutch Olympic team wore Cruyff designed and branded sportswear in the 1988 Olympic games in Seoul. Cruyff trainers have since been re-released into the fashion market with Mens Designer Clothes Online being possibly the largest independent retailer of Cruyff Classics online in the UK. Johan Cruyff has opened an amazing ‘shoetique’ in Amsterdam stocking some of the newest designed and retro styled Cruyff trainers around. This store signifies the growth that Cruyff Classics have taken into the fashion market in recent years, and shows Europe that there is plenty left to come from the three time world player of the year. The trainers range is ever increasing season by season with amazing Cruyff footwear styles such as the Vanenburg, Bergkamp DB 86, Indoor Classic and Recopa there is plenty of selection at one of the most up and coming designer menswear websites.
