Adidas Nitrocharge created for ‘the engine’ player
10/06/2013
“The Energysling is a technology that supports and secures the foot when the player makes sharp turning movements such as sidecuts,” explained Michael Meinhold, Nitrocharge product manager at adidas Football. “This essentially helps to prevent the loss of energy normally experienced when making these movements.”
The boot features a protective mesh layer around the foot and protection pads around the most sensitive tackle zones such as the Achilles tendon.
“The Energypulse that features on the sole plate is inspired by the geometry of a spring and helps the player by providing maximum energy in the toe-off phase when accelerating. This is one of a number of features on the boot that also provides fantastic protection to the foot as well as a soft touch to the ball,” added Mr Meinhold.
The Nitrocharge will be worn by ‘engine’ players Daniele De Rossi (AS Roma), Dani Alves (Barcelona), Ezequiel Lavezzi (Paris Saint Germain) and Javi Martinez (FC Bayern Munich).
