Nike Footy today revealed its latest boot collection for Holiday ’13. The four-silo Flash Pack features some of Nike’s top boots including the Hypervenom, Mercurial, Tiempo and CTR360 in a bright white boot with distinct reflective design patterns over the back heel area. With this Flash Pack each boot has a different and very distinct outsole that really stands out with the white upper on the boot.
I have always said that the out sole is if not more important than the upper on a pair of boots. It's a point of difference and if it's done will it can add value to the boot. Each of the four boots features a unique silver reflective blocking design that speaks to the boot’s silo and is inspired by some of nature’s most magnificent creatures. For the inspiration behind each boot all you need to do is look in the insole.
“We wanted to create an intuitive predator pattern to accentuate each silo’s attitude. We used a white-based concealed graphic so that on first look it seems like a straightforward design, but with closer inspection you see some of those unique graphics,” said Denis Dekovic, Design Director, Nike Football.
The Hypervenom’s reflective area is reptilian-inspired, while the Mercurial’s leopard-like print pays homage to the boot’s speed heritage aka cheetah. The Tiempo’s lion-esque leadership qualities are apparent in it’s own reflective print, while the CTR360 takes its print inspiration from various birds of prey.
The Flash Pack is now available on Nike.com or head down to Far Post Soccer Supply to purchase a pair.
