While there are players at the 2014 Brazil World Cup shredding up the field with their sporty football cleats, World Cup shoes like these fashionable ones by Del Toro are designed to appeal to football-loving civilians.
The Men's World Cup Multi Flag Alto Chukka Sneaker and the Men's World Cup Multi Flag Slipper are like a colorful collaged patchwork of each of the participating flags from countries like Germany, the USA and Japan. The leather shoes are handmade in Italy and both styles come with a $365 price tag to prove it. Fortunately, the shoes do happen to be perfect for the World Cup, but they're not specific enough to the games in Brazil, so they could be used in the next four years again when it's time for the next World Cup.
