Nike 5 Lunargato Football Trainers - Platinum/Electric Green/Solar Red
The triple header of new Nike 5 football trainers concludes with this updated Air Gato - so let us introduce you to the Nike Lunargato football trainers, combining great styling with futsal and indoor performance...
The Air Gato was one of Nike's more underrated football trainers, being specifically crafted for futsal and indoor play. For 2010 Nike introduce their evolved Lunar running technology, not just for gimmicks but adds years of real development and science to make a retro looking shoe one of the top performers in the arena.
The Nike5 Lunargato trainers main benefit is the inclusion of this LunarLite technology. We've all heard of Air Max, well this is the 21st century evolution of the concept, crafted and tuned specifically for smaller sided football.
Traditional cushioning systems only absorb energy upon impact, but LunarLite has proven to provide superior cushioning and significant energy return - vital in the fast paced, quick thinking world of futsal and indoor football matches. And it doesn't half make the LunarGato one comfy shoe to wear, too.
Away from the space-age tech, the upper features a durable calf leather forefoot for a quality natural touch, as well as a "rubber re-grind" on medial and toe areas for even more durability.
The sole is perfect for futsal and indoor courts thanks to a patterned gum-rubber honeycomb design. Not only is this intended to give better traction but the exectution means the shoe flexs more - perfect for showing off those close control skills and tricks. There are also gum rubber fins strategically placed underfoot for even more ball control.
The Nike LunarGato sports a centered lacing style which means a traditional fit, whilst the design team have worked hard to come up with a "no-sew" on medial and lateral areas - so there are no stiches and seams causing unwanted ball contact.
The Nike 5 Lunargato football trainers are another excellent addition to the futsal and indoor market, and could well be the shoe of choice for budding futsal champions and skillsters.
The new football trainers are available to pre-order now, and will set you back around £65 GBP when they hit the shelves on October 1st.
