YEAR: 2022

@DYLAN_RUIZ-DIAZ SIGNATURE PAIR. 

With a number of extremely personal names, memoirs, flags and features this boot really captures everything meaningful in my life and ties it all into one. I took inspiration from work I've previously done with @customshinart with the shinpads i play in every game and decided it was time to put it on a boot; and this is what we've end up with. oh my days.

The colourway initially melts the eyes; Two large azure blue 'RUIZ-DIAZ' graphics on the insteps, tied in with the two large scale flags, on a triple white canvas in the form of the Nike Mercurial Superfly VII. The flags of AUSTRALIA & URUGUAY - my family heritage and the country i grew up in. On the heels we have my favourite number "10" and on the left a portrait of a🦁 (lions head), symbolic of my work with @thebootroom.au & also how i try to live. This, all tied together with the names of my family and short quotes i tend to live by. "444" a number i repeated see in my day to day, meaning 'my angels are around me guiding and supporting me on my path', 'TRUST GOD' , 'JUST A BOY WITH A DREAM' and 'HAY SUENOS QUE SE HACEN REALIDAD'; translated from spanish this basically means 'dreams into reality'. The boots are then complete with some religious symbolism in the form of the three crosses, symbolic of the act of love in Christ's sacrifice at Calvary.

All round, an extremely special pair of boots that bring together most things meaningful to me. The serve as a reminder to appreciate everything special in my life; as well as motivation moving forward and Lord knows if i'll ever bring myself to play in them.
