Update: Confirming the leak from late November, Nike have today released their '1971' football boot remake. The unique cleats are available in a limited run of just 1,971 pairs.

The new Nike 1971 remake football boots stay true to the original design of Nike's first-ever football cleats.
The design is simple with a black leather upper and white Nike swoosh. The graphic in reference to the Mexico 1970 World Cup is still present on the tongue and the insole.
The soleplate is a classic 13 conical studs which was the standard for pretty much all football cleats at the time.
Originally, the Nike 1971 was an extremely poor design. It was available for $16.95 when released and could not withstand wet and cold weather. Things got so bad that Nike had to withdraw the products.
