Nike5 Street Gato

With the game of Footy always expanding with different styles and with players becoming more skillful then in past decades many players have discovered/found a love for the game if Futsal. Futsal is pint-sized game in which you play in a small field with a weighted ball. No need for referees or a big pitch all you simply need is a ball and some friends. It seems that many countries especially North America have started to play Futsal because in terms of skill development there is no better way to increase your skills.

While the game is not as popular as standard Footy is, futsal still carries a huge loyal following all over the world. You can find the game being played in cities all over the world and now they even have a Futsal World Cup.

For the new futsal season, Nike has introduced a brand new boot specifically for players that call Futsal their game. Known as the Nike5 Street Gato the boot features a very durable build, snug fit, enhanced comfort in which it almost resembles a skate shoe, and adaptive traction technology for any pitch/surface. In addition, the Street Gato is not just made for the pitch, many of the Street Gato's look/feel like a lifestyle street shoe so much that I wear mine out and people ask what in the world are those!

This boot is a blend of performance and lifestyle and with this boot Nike has found a very unique niche within the market because if you look around the world Futsal/indoor are growing in popularity.
