Expressive Soccer Boots

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

This New Line of Nike's Soccer Cleats Combines Comfort and Durability

— August 20, 2015 — Fashion
Nike unveils a unique neon soccer boot called 'Tech Craft' that is made with technologically-based materials. Along with high-end leather, each soccer boot is accented with Hypervenom, Magista, Mercurial and Tiempo elements.

In order to maintain each shoe's aesthetic value, a piece of leather is strategically placed in areas that a soccer ball will frequently contact. These areas are primarily the medial and lateral sides of the foot.

This shoe is essentially a hybrid of the comfort-fitting Flyknit with the durability of leather. In addition to their comfort-focused design, these boots are accented with a palette of black and neon hues. In addition, the boots' Nike logo -- which is frequently located on the side of each shoe -- actually hooks around the toe of these soccer cleats.
Trend Themes
1. Technologically-based Materials - Opportunity to integrate advanced materials into the production processes of various industries, enhancing performance and durability.
2. Combining Comfort and Durability - Opportunity to develop products that prioritize both comfort and durability, creating a superior user experience.
3. Hybrid Designs - Opportunity to merge different materials and technologies to create innovative hybrid designs that offer the best of both worlds.
Industry Implications
1. Sports Equipment - The sports equipment industry can incorporate technologically-based materials to create high-performance and durable products.
2. Fashion and Footwear - The fashion and footwear industry can adopt hybrid designs to provide customers with comfortable and long-lasting products.
3. Athletic Apparel - The athletic apparel industry can leverage technologically-based materials to design clothing that combines comfort and durability for athletes and sports enthusiasts.
