Jorginho | Match-Issued Boots | 2021/22 | Chelsea

Key Significance:

• Nike Tiempo Legend 9 boots match-issued to former Italy international and Chelsea midfielder, Jorginho.
• Match-issued to the player and prepared for use in fixtures during the 2021/22 campaign with Chelsea.
• Personalised extensively with the names of Jorginho’s three children, “VITOR ALICIA JAX”, creating a deeply personal element unique to the player’s professional footwear.
• Fully authenticated and accompanied by the BC Boots UK Certificate of Authenticity, including entry into BC Authenticity Verification™, our online registry for instant verification.

Player Modifications & Personalisation:

• Each boot features “VITOR ALICIA JAX” personalised to the lateral heel area, representing the names of Jorginho’s three children.
• The right boot additionally features the same “VITOR ALICIA JAX” personalisation to the medial side, accompanied by the Italy national flag.
• This is a particularly unusual mixed-soleplate pair, with the left and right boots originating from separate pairs within Jorginho’s player-issued boot stock. The left boot is equipped with Nike’s player-exclusive Hyperstability SG-Pro soleplate, whilst the right features the standard FG configuration.
• Specially custom made-to-measure for the player, featuring blank internal size labels consistent with bespoke athlete production. A faint “US8” marking remains visible internally, corresponding with Jorginho’s usual UK7 / US8 sizing.
• Both boots incorporate bespoke internal reinforcement, with a custom carbon fibre plate fitted inside each boot to provide additional rigidity and structural support.

Player-Exclusive Construction:

• This pair provides an unusual insight into the interchangeable nature of an elite player’s match-day boot stock, combining a left SG-Pro boot with a right FG boot originating from a separate pair.
• The left boot features Nike’s Hyperstability SG-Pro soleplate, an elite player-specific configuration unavailable to the general public on the Tiempo Legend 9.
• The right boot is instead equipped with the FG soleplate, creating a distinctive mixed configuration across the pair.
• Both boots feature a custom carbon fibre reinforcement plate fitted internally, increasing structural rigidity and providing additional support according to the player’s individual requirements.
• These modifications, combined with the blank internal sizing and bespoke personalisation, distinguish the boots considerably from commercially available Tiempo Legend 9 footwear.

Collector & Investment Significance:

• An unusual match-issued artefact from Jorginho’s Chelsea career, offering a particularly interesting insight into the bespoke footwear configurations available to an elite-level Nike athlete.
• The combination of two boots originating from separate player-issued pairs, differing FG and Hyperstability SG-Pro soleplates, internal carbon fibre reinforcement, and extensive family personalisation creates a highly individual specification.
• The mixed-pair configuration is particularly noteworthy, demonstrating how individual left and right boots within a player’s professional stock can ultimately become paired independently rather than necessarily remaining with their originally manufactured counterpart.
• The deeply personal references to Jorginho’s three children, together with the Italy national flag, further enhance the individual identity and provenance of the boots.
• A technically fascinating player-issued piece from the career of a midfielder who achieved the highest honours at both club and international level, including the UEFA Champions League and UEFA European Championship.
• Fully authenticated and accompanied by the BC Boots UK Certificate of Authenticity, including entry into BC Authenticity Verification™, our online registry for instant verification.
