The launch of the 'Sistine Chapel' rugby boot
07/03/2008
Sports brand Le Coq Sportif has designed a new boot for the captain of Italy's national rugby team, Sergio Parisse.
The Number 8, who was actually born in Argentina, will wear the new boots—called Puncher 2 Thaiti—for the first time in Italy's Six Nations match in Paris against France on Sunday, March 9.
They have predominantly blue uppers to match Italy's colours, but have an amazing design on the sole. Inspired by the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in The Vatican, the boots depict the creation of mankind from one of Michelangelo's paintings there.
