These
new Elite Total 90 Laser football boots for summer 2010 release are both visually striking and
packed with a host of performance technology. Swerve fin
technology, instep pods, lighter weight material,
redesigned heel counter and an updated sockliner - are just some of the innovations to call out, for Nike's flagship accuracy football boots!
The combination of a re-engineered sole-plate and upper has resulted in the Elite Nike T90 Laser III football boots, weighing in at 16% lighter than the standard boots. The upper incorporates Vapor materials with Nike's unique ShotShield technolgy, which ensures even pressure on the
ball at impact for accuracy. The Instep Pods are designed to be flat to
your foot, to create even pressure distribution when shooting the ball
with accuracy, and their longitudinal and flexible design accommodates
an enlarged kicking area
Complimenting the Instep Pods are strategically angled and raised Fins,
to create friction and increased ball spin for shooting and passing.
Each fin is positioned at a different angle and a different height
( between 0-3mm), to enable the player to control the swerve ball in
multi-directional ways depending on how the player kicks the ball, for
better ball spin and kicking accuracy.
Nike research shows the average energy expenditure of an elite player
is over 1,000 Kilo Calories per game for a 75kg player. Reducing the
weight carried by players helps reduce the energy needed over the
course of 90 minutes. By delivering a super-strong and lightweight
carbon fibre plate, the T90 Laser III Elites are 16% lighter to give the player an edge in the final stages of a game.
The carbon fibre sole-plate is a popular addition to Nike football boots, and has been particularly popular with the players ever since it's mainstream introduction on the Mercurial SL football boots. Another feature which distinguishes the Nike Elite T90 Laser football boots is the redesigned heel counter, integrated into the upper for reduced weight and aesthetic purposes.
Nike have gone through extensive research and player testing to create the Nike Elite football boots.
Lightweight construction, intricate engineering and carbon-enforced
strength make the Elite's superior
performance footwear. Expected to be available on general release from 1st July 2010, this Challenge Red/White/Dark Shadow colour goes on pre-order today costing
around £250 GBP for a pair.
