Behind the Design: Nike United
The Nike United Collection celebrates scary-fast athletes like Lauren James and Salma Paralluelo. We used colour accents to represent how they channel their ambition into wicked brilliance.
Fast traction
An Air Zoom unit in the heel is built into the traction plate, with a chevron stud wave pattern to help you bite the ground when you most need it.
Barefoot touch
The upper is made from NikeSkin with embedded chevrons, which helps provide ball control and truly gives you a feeling of barefoot football.
Snug fit
We've upgraded the stretch mesh from the previous generation to an adaptable knit that offers flexibility, provides support and brings you closer to the ball.
