Nike Launch New Hi-Vis Winter Collection - Football News

As the clocks go back to officially mark the end of the summer season this weekend, the nights become darker and the weather colder across the northern hemisphere. To beat the chill and stand out on-pitch, Nike has created the Hi-Vis Collection of winter apparel, footwear and equipment enabling athletes to train and play at the same intensity throughout the season.

The Hi-Vis Collection features bright and contrasting colour combinations of Volt, Electro Purple, Green Glow and Electric Green. The complete winter training kit includes the Mercurial Lite Shin Guards, Sideline Woven Jacket, Squad Longer Knit Short, Squad Training Top, Football Shield Backpack and NPC Hyperstrong Compression Slider Shorts.



The headline piece of the collection is the new Nike Pro Combat Hyperwarm baselayer, designed to combat the elements and help keep the body warm and dry in a variety of weather conditions with a streamlined fit. With a long-sleeve, mock-neck silhouette, the Nike Pro Combat Hyperwarm Dri-FIT Max Shield Mock provides warmth with breathability.



The top features Nike Shield technology to keep the lower arms dry in the rain or snow, while Dri-FIT Max pulls sweat away from the skin to help reduce chill. Large ventilation over high-heat zones helps regulate temperature - an important attribute for peak performance. The top is available in multiple colours including a stand out Hi-Vis Volt and Electro Purple.



If it's good enough for Zlatan it's good enough for us, “Nike’s Pro Combat Hyperwarm top is an important part of my playing and training kit in the winter months, to keep me warm, dry and comfortable on the pitch, and focused and ready to play.” said the PSG striker.





This weekend the Nike Incyte Hi-Vis Ball will be introduced into the Barclays Premier League, La Liga and Serie A. Continuing the tradition of making the most technologically advanced footballs in the game, the Nike Hi-Vis Incyte ball features performance innovations that are designed to help increase reaction, touch, ball flight and visibility.
