Welcome to the Field, Zoom:For the 1st time in our history, Nike has developed an all-new 3/4 Zoom Air unit in the heel. It sits in the plate and provides an additional level of springy underfoot feel that helps athletes play faster on the pitch and create separation when it matters the most - whether scoring goals or being first to the ball or go by defenders.
Feel the Ball:The upper is made of Vaporposite+, which combines a grippy, grid mesh with a premium material for optimal ball control at high speeds. The material provides a tactile feel across the surface of the upper. It’s soft, but stable and wraps tightly around your foot, giving you a more natural on-ball feel when dribbling, passing or scoring.
Recipe for Speed:A redone design improves the fit, so that it better simulates the foot. We did this by conducting multiple wear tests on hundreds of athletes. The result is a more contoured toe box and better lockdown in the heel.
Dig In, Take Off:Metal tipped studs on the outsole offer supercharged traction with quick release to create separation.
Bring the Light:Copper is an incredible channel of energy, flowing between the metal that creates a unique color along the plate. We layered a sophisticated “space dust” color around the cleat and clashed it with white, copper and added an energetic blast of pink. The upper is metallic with the liquid chrome.
Where in the World?Keep an eye out for special symbols around the design, nods to the host’s whereabouts that pay homage to the game’s grandest worldwide tournament. You’ll find our WHQ coordinates too, as well as scientific emblems speaking to the science of connected energy.
