In such a short space of time the Nike CTR360 Maestri range of football boots have become one of the most popular football boots around. After a strong player uptake and great performance reviews, the Nike CTR boots continue to go from strength to strength...
The original White/Red/Black launch colour-way of the CTR360 Maestri II football boots were designed with Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas in mind. From the looks of things, Nike have given the Spanish mid-field maestro the perfect colour-way to match his Arsenal away strip colours!
The Nike CTR360 Maestri football boots have gained quite a reputation for being one of the most comfortable boots on the market. The comfortable Poron insole remains from the original Nike CTR football boots, and Nike have further padded the heel and added a non-slip material to improve fit.
The design brief for the Nike CTR360 Maestri II soccer shoes, was to create the ultimate control boot. To achieve this Nike have retained the dampening pods which were such a stand-out feature of the first generation of boots, just with some minor modifications, yet the theory of cushioning the ball and applying more boot surface area to the ball still applies.
On the instep of the boots, the new instep pads have incorporated a combination of technology from the T90 Laser III and the CTR Maestri I. Split into two to cover a larger surface area, the new pads enhance ball control and boost distribution through an innovative fin structure.
Another enhancement Nike have made to the new CTR360 II football boots is to loop the lower laces through the upper material, rather than through material attachments. Nike have addressed the problem some CTR wearers were having with the original boot where the material attachments were breaking off.
The dual-density stud structure is quite a unique feature of the CTR's and is intended to enhance ball trap control. To what extent they're utilised is questionable, but there's no question the sole-plate configuration is a popular feature, as you very rarely see a player in the CTR360's with a customised sole-plate.
You can expect to see these very sharp looking White/Black/Tour Yellow Nike CTR360 Maestri II football boots hit the shelves from the 1st April for around £130 GBP/$180 USD.
