The first and only football boot of Capitten is called "One". The Capitten One soccer cleat is inspired by the football shoes of the 1980s. It features high-quality K-leather forefoot for the perfect fit, touch, and ball control.

The sophisticated and elegant design of an 80s football boot evokes an early era when modern football values ​​flourished.

The outsole is very classic. It is a hybrid sole that uses German-made TPA resin for the base and TPU resin for the studs. In addition, the π at the tip of the stud is made thinner to increase penetration into the ground and achieve a high grip.

The Capitten One is available in three different colorways - a special gold limited-edition version (only in Iniesta's Size 41, 888 pairs worldwide) as well as two standard colorways (black & blue).

"When I stop playing soccer, one way to stay linked to the sport is to have a brand of boots," said Iniesta when asked about the product, which he defined "as the perfect boots".

"It has been a very hard work for many months of the whole team, with the mentality of continuing to work so that the brand continues to be alive for a long time," said Iniesta at the event held at the Tokyo Olympics stadium.
