One of the things I love about adidas is that their shoes are both functional and stylish. adidas has been known to create the best football boots across the world, and different type of shoes as well! The first pair of shoes I bought for college are actually semi-high cut shoes from adidas and all of my rubber shoes that I use for my physical activities are also from adidas. At one point in my college life, I even obsessed on having the cool adidas x Jeremy Scott shoes (the one with wings), and the Star Wars themed shoes as well.

With football being currently in among my friends, I can’t help but also keep myself on the loop on what’s happening in the football realm. And while keeping myself updated, I just found out that adidas has actually unveiled a new pair of football boots designed for the next generation of footballers that follow the legacy and successes of the existing iconic predator, adipure & f50 ranges.

I would like to note that I am a fan of the colors! Remember I said earlier that adidas shoes are functional and stylish? Well, this one is no different as neon is the hottest trend for the Spring/Summer of 2013. So, see! adidas is keeping themselves functional and trendy!

The unique positioning of Nitrocharge has energy retention at its heart and has been designed specifically for ‘The Engine’ player, the archetypical footballer who is always first on the team sheet; the player who powers a team, running and tackling more, relentlessly and ferociously seeking chances from box-to-box over 90 minutes. And, in my opinion, having neon colors is a big plus! Neon colors just scream out energy and it gives that feeling of boldness and being upbeat. Things that every football player should have to keep them pumped up for the duration of the game.

There are numerous functional aspects when it comes to the Nitrocharge boot:

• The eye catching ENERGYSLING arches over the boot and supports sidecut and turn movements to sharpen reactions on the pitch.

• The sole plate of the boot contains a zig-zagging ENERGYPULSE, inspired by spring technology,  with high-elastic material at its heart, providing premium energy during the off toe phase of sprinting.

• A protection mesh layer around the foot and Protection pads around the most sensitive tackle zones such as the Achilles tendon also feature in the boot.

And my favorite part is that it is compatible with the adidas miCoach SPEED_CELL, such that players can measure on-pitch performance and focus on improvement over time!

The boots will be released in a dramatic blue and yellow colour way. The new Nitrocharge boot will retail for Php 9995 and is available for purchase from May 20, 2013 in blue beauty f10/running white/ electricity and will be worn on-pitch by ‘Engine’ players Daniele De Rossi (A.S. Roma), Dani Alves (Barcelona), Ezequiel Lavezzi (Paris Saint Germain) and Javi Martinez (FC Bayern Munich).
