“I’m trying to make sure I leave this place greener than when I came into it.”
THE SQUAD
Sokito’s mission is easy to remember: we want to make eco-friendly football products, and change the industry from the inside. Simple. So all we needed were some driven footballers to spread the word. Introducing: The Athletes.
These guys aren’t just the run-of-the-mill sponsored faces. They’re studs-in-the-mud deep. Sure, they could’ve taken the easy route and just cashed in on some endorsement deal. But no, this lot actually chose to invest their own money into Sokito because they’re not just players; they’re advocates for the planet.
So, get ready to meet the squad who aren’t just changing the game, they’re flipping the script on what it means to lace up for a match.

William Troost-Ekong
“This has been a journey of discovery and understanding: what changes we can make and how, as players, can we be involved?”
You’ll be hard-pressed to find a footballer doing more good than William Troost-Ekong. Even before he turned his attention towards the world of sustainability, he was already donating part of his wages into a charity that fights neglected tropical diseases in Africa. His greatest pride, however, was representing his home country, Nigeria, as its captain: feeling the weight of being chosen whilst consistently rising to the challenge.
Read more >For Will, the power that footballers hold shouldn’t be underestimated, and should be channelled to create as much positive change as possible. Which is why Sokito’s open-minded and forward-thinking approach matched up perfectly. He describes the switch to Sokito as ‘seamless’, in both comfort and values: appreciating that we’re actively seeking and providing eco-friendly solutions, rather than just pointing out problems. With three young kids, Will realises that the time is now to invest in our planet, so future generations have pitches to play on.

What is the
Athlete scheme?
Most football boot companies work in the same way. They find the most popular footballer of the season. Offer them a massive sponsorship deal. And pay them to wear and promote their boots. We didn’t want to do it that way.
Read more >Our Athletes are different. They have invested their money into Sokito. They wear the boots because they love the way that they feel. And they promote the company because they believe it’s time for the football industry to change.
So when you see one of our Athletes wearing our boots in a game, or talking about Sokito online, just remember that we haven’t paid them to say any of it. They truly believe in the product and the mission.
What is Sokito’s mission?
Sokito isn’t just making killer boots. We’re launching a revolution against the stale, old ways of the football industry. Our Devista boot is a green manifesto. A declaration that you can score goals without wrecking the planet.
Read more >But we’re not stopping at boots. We’re aiming for a world where football clubs are as eco-friendly as a G-wiz-driving vegan with a compost bin. We’re talking fans ditching gas-guzzlers for public transport, clubs cutting down on jet-setting, and stadiums saying goodbye to single-use plastic.
We’ve got more goals than a Messi highlight reel, and we’re dead set on hitting every single one.
So, when you grab a pair of Sokito boots, you’re not just upgrading your foot game; you’re becoming part of something bigger.
What’s different about the boots?
We’ve got one boot, and we’ve dressed it up in three styles: the Devista, Devista Vegan, and Devista Clasico. Each one’s a unique character in its own right, but they all share the same basic principle – they’re made from at least 56% eco-friendly materials.
Read more >We’re talking recycled plastic, recycled rubber, and even castor beans. None of that virgin plastic nonsense – we’re all about saving the environment, one step at a time. And guess what? Our vegan boots are the first to be certified by the Vegan Society. So, you can flaunt your boots with a clear conscience.
When you slip into a pair of Sokito boots, you’re not just getting comfy, innovative shoes; you’re taking a stride towards a greener planet.
