Nike Ordem Ball: A Closer Look
Nike Ordem Ball: A Closer Look
We take a closer look at the new technology behind Nike's latest ball. 
Yesterday Nike unveiled the new Ordem ball, its most innovative, technologically advanced and aerodynamically tuned football to date. Launched with a new film starring Wayne Rooney and golfer Rory Mcilroy, the ball will be used by all Nike sponsored federations in international friendly games from early 2014.
The Nike Ordem ball is packed full of futuristic technologies. It offers an optimal touch with new Fuse-Welded panels, unprecedented flight control with new aerodynamic NIKE AEROW TRAC grooves and maximum visibility with Nike RaDaR technology to help see the ball quicker. Here we take a look at those technologies a bit closer. 
Controlling the ball starts with your first touch and the Nike Ordem ball is designed and engineered for a highly sensitive feel and explosive response off the foot. The ball consists of 12 fuse-welded panels in a 3-layer casing system and a poly-blend wrapped, free-floating carbon latex bladder. 
The Nike Ordem ball features NIKE AEROW TRAC grooves debossed (or indented) into the ball's surface. These grooves are Nike Football s newest innovation and are engineered to grip and channel the air to produce the truest trajectory and most consistent flight to help ensure stability and accuaracy in mid-air. 
The surface of the Nike Ordem also feature's Nike s RaDaR (Rapid Decision and Response) technology. This is a graphic pattern that creates a flickering effect as the ball rotates making it easier to see in a player s peripheral vision and allowing for faster reactions and decision-making. Clever stuff. 
The new Nike Ordem Mtach Ball is be available from selected online retailers including Pro-Direct Soccer.
