    Reports indicate that Aina and Chalobah have invested about £1.1 million to support expanding the United Kingdom-based brand’s reach globally.

    After previewing the “Scudetta” boots during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations hosted by Ivory Coast, with Nigeria captain William Troost-Ekong debuting them during the tournament, many have become interested in associating with the Sokito brand.

    The investment roster features footballers from across the world, including France, Germany, the USA, and the Premier League duo of Aina and Chalobah.⁣

    Players have, in recent times, invested in different aspects of football, with these stars either purchasing or becoming co-owners of football clubs.

    Some football stars have also created academies to churn out talents, while a spectrum has ventured squarely into administrations, amongst others.

    Ola Aina and Trevoh Chalobah have opted to follow the route of investing in Eco-friendly football boots, and it is expected that they will reap the reward of the investment in the coming years.

    Aina last featured for Nottingham Forest in their 1-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield on September 14, 2024.

    The Nigeria international is expected to be in action for the Tricky Trees in their upcoming game against Brighton on September 22, 2024.

    Trevoh Chalobah is yet to feature for Crystal Palace this campaign, following his move from Chelsea in the summer of 2024.

    Chalobah is currently nursing a leg problem and he is expected to return to action in October 2024.

    Sokito Football Boots

    The boots were made with groundbreaking, sustainable materials, and are worn by many pro footballers.

    They claim that they deliver hand-craft eco-friendly football boots that change the game and their goal is to create maximum impact on the pitch, not the planet.

    Sokito are apparently the first football boots brand to have their recycling scheme alongside being the first to have a boot certified by the Vegan Society.

    The UK-based brand is also the first brand to create a boot almost entirely from bio-based materials.

    Meanwhile, Sokito indicated that they don’t just pick popular footballers and pay them loads to wear their boots.

    Instead, they asked around for footballers who were passionate about helping the planet and got them to invest in the brand.

    This implies that when you see our athletes testing out the boots, talking about them at events, and wearing them at matches, it’s because they actually care about Sokito’s noble mission.

    Additionally, the boots also help improve the performance of the players, according to Sokito.

    Who Is The Founder Of Sokito Football Boots Brand?

    Jake Hardy is the founder of Sokito and Nigeria’s Troost-Ekong, who was named the Player of the Tournament at the 2023 AFCON and is one of 16 professional players who invested in the London-based firm in 2023.

    What Are The Boots Made From?

    Sokito’s handmade football boots are made from a minimum of 56% recycled and earth-friendly materials, including carpet, plastic bottles, and castor beans.

    How are Sokito Boots Made?

    Sokito’s master shoemakers have spent decades fine-tuning their craft, and it is understood that each surprising boot is made by hand in the brand’s European workshop.

    The shoemakers cut and assemble the boots with careful consideration and attention to detail, fusing traditional techniques with new-age materials.
