This claims to be the world's first knitted football boot.
Primeknits are as strong as conventional boots, but much lighter.
A single piece of yarn is knitted and then attached to the sole and, because the upper material is reduced to a minimum, the boot weighs just 165 grams. Your gran would be proud -- but, limited to 150 pairs worldwide, these sold out in less than 48 hours and are now highly sought after. From £500 ebay.co.uk
