These new Elite Total 90 Laser football boots for summer 2010 release are both visually striking and packed with a host of performance technology. Swerve fin technology, instep pods, lighter weight material, redesigned heel counter and an updated sockliner - are just some of the innovations to call out, for Nike's flagship accuracy football boots!
The combination of a re-engineered sole-plate and upper has resulted in the Elite Nike T90 Laser III football boots, weighing in at 16% lighter than the standard boots. The upper incorporates Vapor materials with Nike's unique ShotShield technolgy, which ensures even pressure on the ball at impact for accuracy. The Instep Pods are designed to be flat to your foot, to create even pressure distribution when shooting the ball with accuracy, and their longitudinal and flexible design accommodates an enlarged kicking area
Complimenting the Instep Pods are strategically angled and raised Fins, to create friction and increased ball spin for shooting and passing. Each fin is positioned at a different angle and a different height ( between 0-3mm), to enable the player to control the swerve ball in multi-directional ways depending on how the player kicks the ball, for better ball spin and kicking accuracy.
Nike research shows 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 T90 Laser III Elites are 16% lighter to give the player an edge in the final stages of a game.
The carbon fibre sole-plate is a popular addition to Nike football boots, and has been particularly popular with the players ever since it's mainstream introduction on the Mercurial SL football boots. Another feature which distinguishes the Nike Elite T90 Laser football boots is the redesigned heel counter, integrated into the upper for reduced weight and aesthetic purposes.
Nike have gone through extensive research and player testing to create the Nike Elite football boots. Lightweight construction, intricate engineering and carbon-enforced strength make the Elite's superior performance footwear. Expected to be available on general release from 1st July 2010, this Challenge Red/White/Dark Shadow colour goes on pre-order today costing around £250 GBP for a pair.
