How cool would it be to be on the books of a Nike or an adidas? You get paid to rock boots custom fit to your feet, appear in videos that perhaps overstate your football abilities and you get a sneak peek at the boots us mere mortals do not get our hands on for months. It certainly is not a bad life, especially when it comes to testing out unreleased boots. While it is all meant to occur under complete secrecy, one Chelsea young gun has rather indadvertedly leaked what could be one of the biggest boot releases between now and Christmas: a re-release of the Nike GS.

The Green Speed concept captured the imagination of the football boot world two years ago, with Nike crafting a 160 gram football boot from recycled materials. The point of the Nike GS is not about creating the world’s best boot, but rather creating a boot that can stand up to the rigours of the modern game whilst being made in an environmentally friendly way. The 2,012 pairs of the original Nike GS sold out within hours worldwide (with yours truly owning pair number 1,494), which saw a follow-up general release model quickly put out onto the market by Nike.

The Chelsea youngster posted a photo of the boot on his Instagram page have created, and while we may be suffering from a little bit of limited edition release overload, perhaps Nike want to cash in on the curiosity that always surrounds a limited edition boot. And what better way to do that then to re-release one of the biggest limited edition boots of the past few years…
