Dress Like A Footballing Legend!

Cruyff trainers are named after the famous Dutch footballer Johan Cruyff, who wanted to create men’s trainers that were attractive, sleek, durable and high quality for the public. In addition to being stylish, Cruyff trainers feature the technology and support to support the feet properly during football and other athletic pursuits.

About Johan Cruyff

Born Hendrik Johannes Cruijff in Amsterdam in 1947, Hendrik eventually became more popularly known as Johan Cruyff.

Cruyff became a famous professional footballer in part to his passing skills and power in the centre position on the field. He often dropped back or moved forward unexpectedly to confuse his opponents, giving him the advantage. Experts heralded Cruyff for his speed and precise movements, especially in what is now known as a Cruyff Turn, in which the player drags the ball with one foot behind the other foot, turns around and move away from the attacker.

Over time, Cruyff played for FC Barcelona, Ajax, the Washington Diplomats, the LA Aztecs, Feyenoord and Levante UD.

Cruyff won the Ballon d’Or in 1971, 1973 and 1974 and named the European Player of the Century in 1999 by the IFFHS and was the second highest on the World Player of the Century list.

Since he retired from professional football, Cruyff has gone on to manage several professional teams, such as the Catalan national team and others.

Cruyff Trainers

After years and years of experience playing professional football, Cruyff decided to help design his own brand of men’s trainers that had all of his favourite features, such as a sleek appearance with a slim fit and proper foot support.

Cruyff Classics are available in a wide range of colours, material and styles. For example, some trainers have a quilt design made from leather and suede, while others have a shiny patent leather finish for a flashy appearance.

Other styles include a slimmer rubber sole or metal branding on the outstep of the trainer. Cruyff Classics men's training shoes are made from premium leather and have the embossed Cruyff signature brand on the side.

No matter what your style or favourite type of trainers, there is a pair of Cruyff men’s trainers that are just right for you and your lifestyle. Wear when exercising or just as part of your fashion statement and love for football.
