Ramos was very involved in the boot’s design, applying personal touches throughout the process.
After so many years playing football there’s a boot that expresses the way I feel and who I am, they tell my story. Every element here is personal. It is a dream come true,’ says Ramos.
‘Corazon y Sangre — these two words are important to me. Heart is about my commitment to what I do. And blood is what’s in your DNA, what you have inside to become the best.’
‘Familia’ is on each side , the tongue of the boot reads ‘Rn’R,’ for Ramos and (Pilar) Rubio
Ramos’s personalised SR4 logo appears on the heel counter and sockliner incorporates a horseshoe into the R as an additional tribute to the Spanish war horse. Nods to Ramos’s home region of Andalusia and Spain can also be seen on the lace aglets, where the respective flags are represented alongside the names of his children.
‘Familia’ is etched onto the side of each boot. The tongue of the boot reads ‘Rn’R,’ for Ramos and (Pilar) Rubio, his longtime love.
