Nike T90 Laser IV Football Boots - Mango/Black/Crimson
No prizes for guessing where Nike found inspiration for their latest T90 design. That's right, the Mango colourway last seen on the launch boot for the Vapor VIII is back, this time gracing the upper of the long-standing Laser IV. Presented in a Mango/Black/Crimson colour scheme, the T90 could be Nike's most stand-out boot of their Spring 2013 line-up.
This Spring, Nike have given us dynamic colour updates across each of their four silos. The T90, CTR360, Mercurial and Tiempo have each been restyled for the remaining weeks of the European football calender, ensuring the highest levels of on-pitch visibility. This Mango/Black/Crimson T90 is sure to leave an impression!
By now, we know all there is to know about the T90 Laser IV - they've been around since September 2011. You probably know as well as us that their days are numbered! If so, they're going out with a bang with a colourway that demands serious attention. The only thing we're not sold on with this boot is the white sole-plate - an all black out-sole would have given the boot a stronger look.
Still worn by some of the games top players including Wayne Rooney, Robert Lewandowski, Gonzalo Higuain and Wesley Sneijder, the versatile boots are worn by players of all positions from front to back. Manchester United duo Rio Ferdinand and Chris Smalling are both examples of the boots wide appeal.
The T90s Teijin-microfibre upper now benefits further from Nike's ACC technology, which ensures the surface of the boot upper delivers consistent friction between boot and ball in wet weather conditions. A design innovation now shared across each of Nike's top-tier silos.
The Laser IV features a streamlined silhouette for enhanced fit and feel, accuracy comes from the reconfigured shoot and swerve zones on the instep of the boot. This addition to the upper flexes naturally as the foot connects with the ball, to enhance a cleaner strike through the texture, material and strategically placed fins.
The Mango/Black/Crimson T90 Laser IV will on on pitch this week. Keep an eye out for lead athletes Wayne Rooney, Gonzalo Higuain and Robert Lewandowski - players all on international duty. The boots are available to pre-order now ahead of an April 1st launch.
