1986: Dennis Bergkamp debuts on Cruyffs
- Dennis Bergkamp created beauty from technical excellence, with elegance and perfection. A chip, a pirouette, a throughpass, a joy to watch; Dennis Bergkamp brought extraordinary beauty to the game. All this started with Cruyff football boots.
Under the watchful eye of Johan Cruyff, Bergkamp started his career with the Ajax first team. Cruyff noticed Bergkamp`s talents as a trainer and stood therefore at the cradle of the magnificent career of Dennis Bergkamp.
The Cruyff Sports football shoe on which Dennis Bergkamp started his career in the 80’s and 90’s is redeveloped in a fine casual model. High quality and elegant as Dennis Bergkamp played football. All Dennis Bergkamp models reflect the elegant style that Bergkamp represented in and off the field. Fine soft leather with patent as an accent.
In addition to the well-known C-flash, Dennis Bergkamp’s signature is displayed on the shoe’s tongue. This casual remake is our tribute to Dennis Bergkamp.
Quotes Dennis Bergkamp:
Thierry Henry:
“I have always said Dennis Bergkamp will remain the best partner I have ever had. He is a dream for a striker.”
“When Dennis Bergkamp scores, it’s not a common goal, it’s always what we call ‘a Dennis Bergkamp goal’.”
Arsene Wenger:
“Intelligence and class. Class is of course, most of the time linked to what you can do with the ball, but the intelligence makes you use the technique in an efficient way. What he (Bergkamp) does, there’s always a head and always a brain. And his technique allows him to do what he sees, and what he decides to do.”
Marco van Basten:
“If Ryan Giggs is worth 20 millions, Bergkamp is worth a hundred.”
Ian Wright:
“He’s(Dennis Bergkamp)the messiah. We told him to get us into Europe when he joined and that’s exactly what he did.”
JFK ‘ For Greatest Men 2009’
Question: About Cruyff, you recently have your own shoe line with Cruyff Classics.
“That`s Right! When they asked me, I immediately said yes! I really liked the idea, because I’ve always played on Cruyff soccer shoes. A shoe from the Bergkamp line of Cruyff Classics is just literally my Cruyff soccer shoe from eighties, only without the studs. I am very pleased with the result.
