The SoccerBible can unveil the next colourway for the Nike Elite Series football boots, these very sharp looking Blue Sapphire/White/Black colourways - check out our exclusive pictures...
Here at the SoccerBible we have full and exclusive images of the Nike Elite CTR360 Maestri football boots, along with the lowdown and tech info you need to know about this innovative new range.
The CTR360 series are relatively young in the boots world, and these latest versions are only the third release to feature the weight-stripping design and technology from Nike's Elite range.
The Nike CTR360's have been a popular uptake with the players, and we have already seen Arsenal's Jack Wilshere in this distinctive colourway. But can also expect to see the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Ashley Cole, Javier
Masherano, Andres Iniesta and James Milner gracing our pitches wearing
the new Nike Elite CTR360 Maestri football boots.
The development of the Nike Elite range is based on research, showing that 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 CTR360 Maestri Elites are 19% lighter, giving
the players an edge in the final stages of a game.
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!
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.
These new Nike Elite Football Boots are set to deliver higher levels of lightweight performance, for every style of player through the entire Nike range. The Nike Elite CTR360 Maestri football boots are expected to be available for pre-order from today, 20th September 2010 in the US and 24th September 2010 in Europe.
Expect to see these on the shelves around the first week of October, where they will set you back around $300 USD / £225 GBP when they hit selected retailers and Nike stores.
