Nike GS Football Boots
.)
Nike has unveiled its Nike GS football boot in London, the lightest, fastest, most environmentally-friendly production boot the company has ever made, which will be available here.
Due to be worn this summer, designers were challenged to create a new football boot stripped down to include only the essential elements that deliver lightweight performance and high speed control in game situations. The resulting boot is constructed using renewable and recycled materials and designed for explosive performance on the pitch and lower impact on the planet.

Every component of the Nike GS has been optimized to reduce weight and waste, creating Nike’s lightest football boot ever at 160 grams for a size 9.
Conceived and engineered in Italy, the Nike GS features recycled and renewable materials throughout the upper and plate design. A bio-based traction plate made primarily from castor beans ensures strength and flexibility on pitch alongside a sock liner made from 100% castor beans. The boot laces, lining and tongue are made from a minimum of 70% recycled materials. The toeboard and collar, feature at least 15% recycled materials.
“The Nike GS is the lightest and fastest football boot we’ve ever made and really defines a new era in how we create, design and produce elite football boots,” said Andy Caine, global design director for Nike Football. “When you can deliver a boot that combines high end performance and a low environmental footprint that’s a winning proposition for players and planet.”

Nike GS includes the following performance, recycled and renewable materials in the new boot:
Traction Plate & Stud Configuration:
Nike GS traction plate combines a high performance chassis with a strong responsive and agile form. The sole plate is made of 50% renewable Pebax® Renu (a plant derived material made with 97% castor beans) and 50% TPU, made from renewable materials. The plate is 15% lighter than a traditional plate composition.
The traction plate includes a minimalist diamond-silhouette spine, which provides optimal flex and agility in plate performance.
Anatomically positioned studs maximize speed in multiple directions to ensure responsive and assured movement on pitch.
Touch & Control:
A solvent-free Kanga-Lite synthetic upper provides zonal reinforcement for exceptional touch and control. The synthetic upper also supports lockdown on midfoot and arch area.
The lightweight and chemical-free sock liner is made of 100% castor beans and eliminates any layers for a snug fit and enhanced touch on the ball.
Stability & Support:
Anatomical and asymmetrical heel counter and heel bucket locks the foot down for stability and support. The counter is made of Pebax® Renu, derived from castor bean oil.
Nike GS will be available here from August 15th. The price will be $300 /£195

I remember Adidias Beckenbauer's doing that after the 1974 World Cup. They were also lime green!
Just read some information about the new boot on the internet and it seems to me that they are mainly made for the attacking midfielder second striker sort of player
Get a grip. It DOES NOT make any difference what boot you wear on what part of the pitch!
I swear everyone these days is brainwashed by stupid marketing campaigns!
I can't wear vapors, my foot hurts, it's too tight and the material's way too thin. I can't shoot from outside of the box without breaking a nail.
I fancy the T90 for instance.
But I agree, you can play with any shoes but you have to adapt your style otherwise you'll break your nails or risk more injuries
... not
Check the cost out and you'll realised that recycling stuff doesn't make them cheaper either !
I think anyone who agrees with your opinion need their head checked
We all know its a rip off.
Plastic tacky coloured rubbish that will not stand the test of time, and will be replaced in 6 months time by another similar ugly design.
Nike will sell these at £120+ when they make them for less than 5% of that cost.
GET REAL. At least buy something that'll last, little boy.
You're out of your depth.
Its about making money, by using pathetic advertising campaigns where they pay the likes of Rooney/Ronaldo millions.
If they cared that much about the environment, they'd put that money to better use...
Ultimately though you've made up your mind that these aren't for you and that's OK. Each to his own.
Nike and Adidas are the masters are making people believe their boots are top shit. I'd wear a pair of Pantofola d'Oro's over the rubbish pumped out by either any day.
If Messi, Ronaldo, Rooney and whoever else wears these every teenager think's they will play the same and that's how Nike and Adidas make their money.
Haha what a flucking tosspot you must be.
You wear your rubbish trashy fluorescent junk while thinking you're Ronaldo/Messi.
Leave the decent, classic, hard-wearing, tastefully designed boots like the Copa Mundial/Puma King/Tiempos to the real men.
You sound like a tart.
Do you think that's what football is about?
Yeah they look great don't they. Worried Modric is in none of the shots though!
They'll look great when covered in mud...
mmm yellow and brown, wee-wee and poo-poo.
