Nike CTR360 Maestri Football Boots
It’s been one of the most talked about boots of the year – the latest addition to the Nike football boot family. And now it’s here.
Nike has the Total 90 Laser II for power, the Superfly and Vapor V for speed and for touch, there’s the heritage classic that is the Tiempo. And today they reveal the fourth boot in their line up, the eagerly anticipated CTR360.
The elite level boot is the CTR360 Maestri for which Nike say they have pushed the technological boundaries to create a boot with greater control. Working with their stable of top internationals (and let’s face it, they’ve got a few to choose from) Nike have come up with a boot that will deliver from the last line of defence to the first point of attack.
The CTR360 is available through the FSC Shop in two colourways – Red / Black / White and secondary version in White / Black / Yellow - or Design Your 360CTR with NIKEiD
As regards to what it can do for you on the pitch, the individual technical specifications have been incorporated to assist in three direct areas. They are:
Receiving the ball
Dampening pods on the outside of the forefoot provide a softer first touch when receiving the ball, whilst an asymmetrical lacing system greatly expands the ball control area.
The instep utilizes a harder material to provide extra pace on the pass - the forefront and the instep work together for a lighter more controlled take but quicker delivery, minimising time on the ball.
Controlling the ball
Nike has developed the revolutionary KANGA-LITE synthetic leather that mimics the supreme feel of kangaroo leather, while maintaining its performance in all conditions and allows for a snug fit.
When a player strikes the ball, a well planted foot is just as important as the striking boot. Nike has integrated dual-density forefoot studs that not only reduce the stud weight but help grip the ball better without compromising traction or stability.
The heel studs are built to be strong and stable to create a sure footing while controlling the ball with the other foot.
Distributing the ball
Shape correcting memory foam delivers uniform contact with the ball for greater precision. An injected pass-pad on the combines with the memory foam to deliver the ball at optimum pace.
In addition to receiving, controlling and distributing, in developing the boot, Nike not only looked at increasing control, but maximising comfort. Therefore, a sock liner with an additional comfort layer sits within the boot, reducing stress on the foot and minimising friction.
Speaking on the day of the launch, Nike spokesperson Leo Sandino-Taylor said:
The CTR360 is the first of its kind; it is a landmark boot from Nike. Built for incomparable control, the CTR360 can make the difference between a misguided pass and a clean precise assist. It is for the playmaker that can take the ball, read the field and make the play when others couldn’t.

I\'ll get me coat !
Will we see the Total 90 range eventually phased out then?
Nice boots all the same but I wouldn\'t spend £120 on them.
2 years - 2012 will be the next time these are redesigned. Waste of 120 quid.
Some of the more \"plainer, boring\" boots have lasted much longer
adidas World Cup - Been going since the Weltmeister boot in 1954. Copa Mundials since 1982.
Puma King - Since 1968
Umbro Speciali - Since the late 80s, maybe sooner I think.
Nike Tiempo - 1992 I think.
Need I go on? Plain, proper boots are best, none of this \"syntholeatherplastic\" crap!
AND I AM NOT EMPLOYED BY NIKE I JUST SAID IT AS IT WAS
Definitly not worth 120 quid!
Are they off their fcukn heads!
Preds all the way!
Adidas
there made out of cb.flex leather...which is a mix.....to give more acruasy and speed!the shoes are amazing...
hay rodinho!!!
they feel so luxary...defenataly worth £99..
who ever does not like theys shoes are !"$^&&**(()...lets say it in a nice way--crazy!
What puzzles me is not one premiership player wears a real boot, they all wear the gimmiks. Why? Obviously for marketing reasons, the kids and big kids will buy them if there favourite players wear them, but I'd like to think I would stick to the copa if I was an icon. Why dont others, if it will improve their game?
I'm sure if Fabregas wore a copa mundial, even more would be sold. Why do they all wear plastic toy boots, gets on my nerves.
Or are they superior?
