It seems when Nike release a new synthetic Laser colourway they feel obliged to release a leather version in the opposite shade, so following the latest white synthetics Nike have released these Dark Obsidian/Metallic Silver K-leather T90 Laser III football boots. Check out the SoccerBible's full and exclusive gallery images, along with all the tech info...
The kangaroo leather range of Nike Total 90 football boots provide an interesting mix between natural and synthetic materials, which seemingly divide the professionals opinions. For example, Wayne Rooney will only wear synthetic uppers whilst Fernando Torres will only wear leather, but no matter which you prefer there's no denying the leather versions retain a certain classiness, and offer one of the most unique performances available on the market for a leather boot.
The natural material of the T90 Laser III soccer shoes give an excellent touch and feel for the ball on the toe and outer area of the boots, which is further complimented by shape correction foam positioned underneath the leather to help cushion the ball.
As many T90 fans will already know the ShotShield on the Laser III has been divided into two zones. The first zone maintains an even pressure on the ball at impact for accuracy, which is through the five flat longitudinal and flexible Instep Pods.
The second zone creates friction and increased ball spin for shooting and passing. This comes from a number of strategically angled and raised Fins, with each fin positioned at a different angle and a different height (0-3mm) to control the swerve of the ball.
Comfort and fit comes from the moulded sockliner with Poron inserts incorporated for extra cushioning, while the surface texture of the sockliner and boot collar combine to prevent the foot from slipping within the boot due to it's suede-like texture.
The K leather versions of the Nike T90 Laser III soccer cleats also benefit from a lightweight TPU outsole, with studs positioned to give structural reinforcement and traction across firm ground pitches. The redesigned heel counter provides support and stability with good heel lock, and helps the planting foot to stabilise when kicking the ball.
The new Dark Obsidian/Metallic Silver K Leather Nike Total 90 Laser III football boots are available to pre-order now ahead of a 1st April release, and they are expected to retail for around £130 GBP/ $200 USD / €155 EURO / ¥17000 JPY so you don't need to pay any extra for the leather upper.
