Backroom Saints

Backroom Saints is raw working-class protest music fronted by Scott “Matchmaker” Michaels, built for the priced out, tracked, replaced, and forgotten.

Old songs. New scars. Football, faith, fathers, freedom, rage, truth, pubs, pay packets, panic, and survival all meet here. No polish. No permission. No surrender. Just songs for the ones still standing.

Product Details

The boot that brought Stylo back

Lightweight Japanese super microfibre. Reinforced heel protection. A modernised moulded soleplate.

The Heirship Seventeen combines close control, dependable protection and clean British football identity—without the inflated price, disposable construction or marketing circus surrounding the modern boot market.

Built for football, not the launch campaign

When Stylo Matchmakers returned in 2017, we did not reproduce an old boot and pretend football had stood still.

We built the Heirship Seventeen.

It became the first performance boot of the modern Stylo revival: a bridge between the badge worn by Pelé, George Best and Kevin Keegan and the players carrying it onto pitches today.

This is not a museum piece.

It was built to play.

Japanese super microfibre upper

The lightweight Japanese super microfibre upper was chosen for softness, strength and consistency.

It sits close to the foot for a more natural connection with the ball while providing greater structure than many paper-thin speed boots. The material retains its shape, resists excess stretching and remains flexible enough for competitive play.

Textured touch sections create a more tactile contact surface when receiving, carrying, passing or striking the ball.

No rubber fins. No meaningless technology names.

Just a proper football upper that lets the player do the work.

Reinforced heel protection

Lightweight should not mean defenceless.

The reinforced heel construction gives the back of the foot additional protection while helping to hold it securely inside the boot during acceleration, turning and physical challenges.

It adds stability without making the boot feel heavy or restrictive.

Modernised moulded soleplate

The traditional football silhouette sits on a modernised, lightweight soleplate with moulded studs.

Designed for firm natural-grass pitches, the stud configuration provides dependable traction, balance and freedom of movement when changing direction.

The history is above the soleplate.

The performance is underneath it.

Why choose the Heirship Seventeen?

  • Lightweight Japanese super microfibre upper
  • Structured construction designed to retain its shape
  • Textured touch surface for closer contact with the ball
  • Reinforced heel protection and stability
  • Lightweight, breathable comfort insole
  • Modernised firm-ground soleplate
  • Moulded stud configuration
  • Secure central lace closure
  • Clean white colourway
  • Stylo Matchmakers drawstring boot bag included

Who wore it?

Premier League champion Christian Fuchs wore the Heirship Seventeen during the modern Stylo revival.

That mattered because the Seventeen was not created to trade only on photographs from the past. It had to earn its place on modern footballers.

It did.

Who is it for?

The midfielder who wants to feel the ball.

The defender who refuses to sacrifice protection.

The forward who wants lightweight movement without squeezing into a plastic sock.

The Heirship Seventeen is built for competitive, academy, non-league, Saturday and Sunday football—and for players who would rather choose something with character than wear the same corporate uniform as everyone else.

Fit and surface guidance

The structured microfibre upper retains its shape and will not stretch as much as natural leather. If you are between sizes or prefer additional room, choose the larger size.

Designed primarily for firm natural-grass pitches. Always select footwear appropriate for the playing surface and conditions.

The beginning of Stylo’s second chapter

Pelé, George Best and Kevin Keegan made the Stylo Matchmakers badge famous.

The Heirship Seventeen put it back on the pitch.

Modern performance.

Real football history.

No superstar tax required.
