Repping the full-throttle pace game but moving towards the creative playmaker, Nike have continued their 'Inside Small-Sided' series that hits up the hard courts with Nike FootballX reigning supreme with style all over.
For this instalment, it's Buenos Aries, Argentina, that plays host. A place where the creative player thrives on instinct, this piece of story telling comes from key players in and around 'San Lorenzo' as they lace up with Nike's MagistaX. A crafted piece of football footwear that is as engineered as they come while it matches up to an aesthetic game, bustling with style. Characteristics that personify this shoe, it's about turning three touches with the ball into one, and being clinical with your creativity. The tools that have been tailored to do just that, they most definitely turn heads.
Getting under the hood and tech-savvy, Max Blau, VP of Nike Football Footwear, explains the process in bringing this boot to the baseline, “With this shoe we have pushed the boundaries of engineering Flyknit so that it helps stimulate your feet as they come into contact with the ball. Small-sided is mostly played on concrete, asphalt or hardwood floors, so it made sense to look at shoes from other sports that are designed for those surfaces,” adds Blau. “The Lunar midsole provides great cushioning as well as a full range of a rotational movement around the ball of the foot — ideal for the quick turns a Magista player needs to make.”
