You know the drill by now – summer’s over, we’re well into autumn, winter’s just around the corner, and the light is rapidly diminishing as the evenings are drawing in. Time for Nike to get the 23/24 Flight match ball ready for the Premier League…
In the word’s of the Starks: “Winter’s Coming…”. We all know that the inevitable darker months are heading to British shores and with it is the need for a ball that’s easier to see, both on the pitch and for those watching on a screen. And with that in mind, as they do every season, Nike reveal the Hi Vis version of the 23/24 official match ball. This season’s design sees the classic yellow base combined with an inky shroud that spirals across the ball’s surface, providing definition when the ball is in motion.
The aesthetic design of the ball continues where the regular version left off, with the inspiration coming from the diversity of over 121 nationalities represented in the league. Each player’s nation is called out with coordinates printed within the ball's surface.
Tech-wise it's as you were, so it still boasts AerowSculpt technology as its primary technology, which promotes air movement around the ball rather than gripping its surface, reducing wobble for a more predictable and consistent flight. It also gives the ball the unique look that it has. In addition, the Flight ball also repurposes Nike All Conditions Control (ACC) 3D ink, using the 3D ink layout to strategically print “micro flaps” along Nike AerowSculpt. So there you have it.
The Nike Premier League 23/24 Hi Vis Flight Match Ball will be available from 27 October at prodirectsport.com/soccer
