Nike introduces Elite Series football boots
05/05/2010
Nike has launched its new Elite Series range of football boots. The new line features the Mercurial Vapor SuperFly II, CTR360 Maestri, Total90 Laser III and Tiempo Legend III, all of which are designed to improve on-field visibility and contain a reengineered outsole to deliver lightweight performance.
The company has reduced the weight of each boot so players can perform at their best and has used high contrast colours—metallic purple and bright orange—for enhanced visibility. Using carbon fibre plates has reduced the weight of the Mercurial Vapor SuperFly II by 5%, the CTR360 Maestri by 19%, and both the Total90 Laser III and Tiempo Legend III by 16%.
"At Nike, we have a relentless focus on product innovation to give athletes a real competitive edge and deliver the best products in the world," said Andrew Caine, Nike design director for football footwear. "The Nike Elite Series delivers lightweight and highly engineered boots for the leading players in the world to perform on the biggest stage this summer."
