JOHANNESBURG, 31 May, 2010 – Nike will be celebrating with Aaron Mokoena this evening as he reaches a significant milestone in his international career leading Bafana Bafana out against Guatemala in Polokwane for what will be his 100th appearance.
Mokoena will appear on pitch tonight in a personalized pair of special edition Nike Elite Series boots. The supercharged boots were individually personalized with the South African flag, and his nickname.
“Aaron is known as the axe because of his formidable tackling style and that is the lettering that he wanted on his boots, Nike added the 100 in order to commemorate his achievement this evening” says Seruscka Naidoo Nike Communications Manager South Africa.
29 year-old Mokoena has played an integral part for the national team since making his senior debut all the way back in 1999 against Botswana in a match that saw him become the youngest player to represent South Africa at international level.
Aaron Mokoena’s boots were customized at the Nike Sandton Football Store in Sandton City.
