First-ever Nike MagistaX Finale 2015-2016 Boots Released
Oct 2, 2015, by Chris
Nike yesterday launched the totally new Nike MagistaX Finale Indoor Court and Turf Soccer Shoes. The Nike Magista X Finale is the first-ever cutting-edge low-cut version of the Nike Magista Cleats, exclusively designed for small-sided games.
In February 2015, Nike brought the Nike Magista Obra Football Boots to small-sided football with the launch of the all-new Nike Magista X Proximo Indoor and Turf Boots. The Nike Magista X Finale Football Boots finally bring a cutting-edge version of the low-cut Nike Magista to 5a-side football.
Nike Magista X Finale Black / Volt
This is the first Nike Magista X Finale Indoor and Turf Football Shoe.
Although the new Nike MagistaX Finale Boots are based on the 11a-side Nike Magista Opus Cleats, the Nike MagistaX Finale Boots introduce various unique technologies for small-sided soccer.
The new Nike MagistaX Finale 2015 Boot is made for unrivaled ball control featuring a traditional low-cut design with a textured leather upper. The leather upper of the Nike MagistaX Boots is stitched on the honeycomb NikeSkin upper for enhanced ball touch. It's an exclusive small-sided feature of the Nike MagistaX Boots.
While the forefoot area of the new Nike Magista X Finale 2015-2016 Football Shoes comes with a leather upper, the heel area features a textile material with a special Volt graphic pattern for more comfort.
The Nike MagistaX Finale Football Boots feature the same sole plate as the Nike MagistaX Proximo Boots. The Nike MagistaX Finale Boots come with a Lunarlon midsole for increased comfort on hard surfaces, and are available as IC (Indoor Court and Street) and TF (Turf version).
Design-wise, the Black / Volt colorway of the Nike MagistaX Finale draws inspiration from the Dark Citron Nike Magista 2015-2016 Boots, which were released earlier this month. The laces boast a spectacular splatter effect to make a bold statement this indoor season, and the tongue features a golden-metallic effect.
The new Black / Volt Nike Magista X Finale 2015 Boots are available at a retail price of 100 USD (80 Euro, 65 GBP) from October 1, 2015. Check out all Nike 2015-2016 Boots in our Boot Calendar.
Nottingham Forest Women Wear Training Tops vs Southampton to Avoid Color Blindness Clash
In an unusual kit occurrence, Nottingham Forest Women took to the pitch wearing training tops instead of their official 26-27 away kit during their match against Southampton Women at St Mary's Stadium on Sunday. The late switch was implemented specifically to avoid color blindness visibility issues that would have arisen from a red-versus-green clash. Huge thanks to @david_g_cooper for the spot.
With Southampton wearing their traditional red-and-white home kit, Nottingham Forest's primary alternative option - their green 26-27 away shirt - posed a serious dilemma. Red and green kit pairings are strictly discouraged by governing bodies and accessibility guidelines because they become indistinguishable to individuals with red-green color vision deficiency, which affects roughly 8% of men and 0.5% of women.
Since Nottingham Forest's home shirt is also red, the club resorted to dark training gear with match numbers applied on the back to provide adequate contrast for players, referees, and spectators.
Forest could have worn their light blue kit, but apparently they did not bring it.
Dominik Szoboszlai Reveals Nike Air Max 95 'Liverpool'
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has officially debuted the upcoming Nike Air Max 95 'Liverpool', a special-edition release designed in partnership with JD Sports ahead of their annual 1.10 Day celebration. Deeply rooted in local street culture, where the model has long been nicknamed the '110' after its original UK retail price, the sneaker is packed with bespoke details paying tribute to Merseyside. The shoe features mismatched accents of dockland-inspired 'Rust Factor' orange alongside 'Steam' green referencing the city's Liver Birds, complemented by a reflective brick pattern, a River Mersey map printed across the insole, a custom 'Liverpool' tongue badge, and 'SCOUSE' lettering visible beneath the outsole.
