BECKHAM PRESENTS HIS NEW “ARMS”
Sunday, Aug 01, 2004
New Boots
Adidas Predator Pulse. Those are Bechams new shoes.
The Englishman will debut them against JEF United. His new arms are not any old footwear. Their creators have based their design on the Chinese Yin and Yang philosophy, and these shoes have been manufactured in an exclusive numbered edition of 723 pairs (7 and 23 are the numbers always worn by Beckham) which will cost 732 euros, and will be available only in the size worn by Becks: 9 UK size (43 for the Spanish).
"I’m proud to wear them. My first shoes were Adidas and since then I’ve been faithful to the firm,” explained Becks.
The shoes combine the colours of silver and red.
To do this, Adidas designers used the Yin and Yang philosophy. To them, silver represents class, purity, value, while red is power, stimulation for the heart and breathing. A philosophy that interests Beckham: "I’m very proud to wear these shoes and because they represent the idea of Yin and Yang.”
Becks Delighted
The Real player will keep for himself the numbers 1, 7, 23 and 723, while the remainder will be distributed for sale. The shoes will be delivered to purchasers in wood boxes, with a glass strip to allow for seeing the product, and inside there will be a seal with the numbered edition purchased, as well as a book with the Beckham’s personal logo.
During the presentation, Beckham also wanted to thank the Japanese people for the reception they have given Real Madrid: “The Japanese have always been nice to me. We’ve had an incredible reception. For me, Japan is very special.” He had a message for children: "They should play football for fun and work hard, because that’s how they can make their dreams come true, the way I made mine come true to play with Real Madrid".
