The first of two new domestic season colour updates for the Nike
CTR360 Maestri football boots, complete with a striking new look
and paint job!
Check out the SoccerBible's exclusive photo gallery for this new Black/White/Retro edition, which marks the sixth official colourway release for
the relatively young CTR360
series.
Along with the White/Cyber/Black edition also now revealed, these two new CTR360s are the
first to
feature a distinctive colour-blending upper style. We'll leave it up to
you to make your own mind up about this, as we're sure you'll let us
know whether you love it or hate it!
Since its launch back in October 2009, the CTR360 series has cemented
itself as one of the premier football boots for players around the
world. The list of players who have converted to the Nike
CTR360 Maestri
football boots certainly makes for impressive reading, and are a
testament to the performance attributes of the CTR's.
Designed with a unique stud configuration to improve movement, the firm ground edition studs
are dual-density at the fore of the boot to help with trap control and
improve ball grip. Whilst at the heel of the boot, the studs are sharper
and stronger, to lock down the planted foot whilst the other controls,
strikes or passes the ball.
The upper of the Nike CTR360
Maestri football boots is made from a synthetic Kanga-Lite material,
developed by Nike this material gives the same ball touch and feel of a
natural K leather. But with the added benefit of being a more durable
material that absorbs 20% less water
than a natural leather, which also means the boot will remain
lightweight in wet conditions.
As this is a new colour release for the CTR360
range, you won't need too much reminding that the Nike CTR360's have an
innovative design to take ball control to the
next level - by assisting a player to win the ball, keep control and
distribute the ball. All performance attributes that have made these
football boots particularly popular with playmaking midfielders and
SoccerBible HQ team a like!
Regular SoccerBible fans will know the stand-out design
features of the Nike CTR360
Maestri football boots are the dampening pods, which have
cushioning properties to improve ball control. Whilst passing is more
direct and accurate due to the pods
forming around the ball when struck because of the shape-correcting
memory foam.
Complimenting the pods is a pass pad on the in-step of the boots,
again strategically placed to assist ball control and passing accuracy.
We rate the Nike
CTR360 Meastri football boots very highly here at the
SoccerBible, as one of the
most comfortable boots on the market and a boot that can genuinely
be worn straight from the box onto the pitch.
The new CTR360 is available to pre-order now ahead of a
general retail release in time for the new season kick off 1st August
for around £120 GBP.
