Denis dekovic biography

After the shock announcement that Denis Dekovic will jump ship from Nike to adidas, we take a retrospective look back at his catalogue of football boot designs.

There’s no doubt about it, adidas have landed one of the most forward-thinking football boot designers in the game right now, with breakthrough boots such as the Nike GS and Magista to his name.

So what exactly are adidas getting for their money?

Lotto Zhero Gravity Ultra (2011) - When it comes to boot innovation Denis Dekovic isn't afraid to explore new avenues of design. One of the ballsy-est designers in the game started as he meant to go one when he worked with Lotto on the Zhero Gravity - the world's first laceless football boot.

That's how you get noticed by Nike.

Nike GS (2012) - Dekovic's first assault on Nike's boot innovation came in 2012 with the launch of the Green Speed, Nike's lightest ever football boot at just 160g.
