Imagine you’re on the soccer field, and go for the ball, but the cleats on your shoes are just a hair short for the muddy surface and you slip. The opposing team gets the ball and scores the winning point of the game. Get the a pair of Nike CR Mercural Vapor SuperFly IIs and you’ll have an extra 3mm on the adaptive studs depending on the ground conditions and pressure exerted by the player. The adaptive traction system can extend or retract by those 3 mm, possibly saving the field and maybe even the shoes from undue wear when not needed.
Blades are positioned directionally on the forefoot to maximize cutting and allow for quick changes in direction. Secondary toe traction provides added toe-off power to get you started on that sprint during a play.
The new pair of Nike shoes with an ostrich skin print designed originally in 1987 for the Air Safari running shoe is the shoe of choice for soccer player Christiano Ronaldo. That would be the “CR” in the name of the shoe.
The shoe uses Nike Flywire materials and construction. That’s a lightweight composite that forms the upper and increases range of motion while locking the foot to the sole plate, and ensures maximum transfer of energy from the foot to the ground. A carbon composite chassis keeps the player close to the ground, improving stability and responsiveness.
