MY BOOT COLLECTION


Nokia VIKING, Nokia KONTIO, the collected Nokia and Nokia N for heavy winter

I was in Finland in 2001 and I couldn’t have been there and not bought some NOKIA, a famous brand for Boots and Telephones.
The Nokia Boots are very well known among collectors and Boot Fetishists like me.
So, the four pairs you can see belong to me, but one of them deserves a especial attention: The old one.
Do you believe in premonition?
I do!
We stayed in the private island (Pirttisaari) of a very nice booted-friend of mine, Urpo. When going back to the airport, on the highway, as we approached a kind of warehouse where people deposit their junk, suddenly I said to Urpo:
- Stop the Car! I’m sure I’ll find some boots here. He did so, and there they were, waiting for me. I must confess this was also a huge surprise for me. Urpo and Ramon were astonished; they couldn’t believe it at all.
Well, the thing is I certainly have them, a very old model of original NOKIA who occupy a special place in my Collection.
