New Nike video - Take It To The Next Level.

If you’re planning to watch the Champions League semi final, 2nd leg between Manchester United and Barcelona, and why wouldn’t you be, make sure you’re in your chair or on your bar stool a few minutes before kick off.

Whilst the pre match chat is normally an ideal opportunity for a cuppa or trip to the bar, at Footy Boots we will definitely stayed glued to the screen to watch the airing of a brand new Nike commercial, directed by none other than Guy ‘Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels’ Ritchie.

Entitled, ‘Take It To The Next Level’ , the ad charts the progression of a young football player from his beginnings in non-league football through to competing at the highest level for his country.

Some of the world’s best football players, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Cesc Fabregas, Ronaldinho, Wayne Rooney, Ruud Van Nistlerooy, Zlatan Ibrahimovich, Marco Materazzi and Rafael Marquez, feature in the all-action two-minute commercial which unfolds from the player’s first-hand perspective – the viewer is the player and is in the middle of all the action - on and off the pitch in all its glory.

The ad certainly hit the mark as far as Rooney was concerned. Asked for his advice to any budding young player he said “I think the advice I’d give to them is, as in any walk of life and in any sport, the main thing you have to do is work hard. If you work hard, practice everyday and make sure you are determined… I think with those three things you can then set yourself a good platform to go on and do well.”

And Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas said the journey portrayed by the player in the commercial was very similar to his experiences as a youngster at Arsenal. “For me all went very quickly and it´s the truth that it was an incredible experience, because I was playing as a substitute and here and there trained with the first team with players like Henry, Pires, Bergkamp. All these players who make you grow. It was just an incredible experience for me.”

Nike describe the commercial as follows.

To get to the next level in football, you need a fine-tuned combination of skill, physical fitness, mental toughness, emotional control, the best products and a bit of luck. This journey is the ultimate roller-coaster ride – it is not quick, pretty or easy and there are plenty of surprises along the way. You see what it takes to get discovered – what it takes to keep improving. You live the ups and downs, the glory and the sacrifice, the fun and insanity a modern footballer experiences on his journey up the ranks of the game.

The viewer quickly finds out that it is essential to adapt to every new situation technically, physically and mentally. The progression sees you meet constant challenges, work as part of a team, show ultimate commitment to training, be the victim of bad fouls, celebrate wins, be under pressure to deliver at critical match-deciding moments be humbled by other star players. The journey has some obvious advantages – glamorous evenings out with your beautiful girlfriend and adoring fans shouting your name and clambering for your autograph.

The story starts when you are spotted by Arsene Wenger at a non-league youth fixture after scoring the winning free-kick. You no longer hear about Arsenal’s results on the television – you are there – playing for the team – using the Player’s entrance. Cesc Fabregas kisses you in one match (a bit worrying) and screams at you in the next match (OK, that’s better).

You absorb the energy and emotion from passionate screaming fans who pack football stadiums when you play in the Manchester United v Arsenal clash in the English FA Premier League and you face teams such as Inter Milan and FC Barcelona in the Uefa Champions League.

You see first-hand the power of Wayne Rooney’s kick, the accuracy of Zlatan Ibrahimovich’s shot, Cristiano Ronaldo’s dazzling skills and incredible pace and Marco Materazzi’s man-marking. Ronaldinho smiles when he shakes your hand during the line-up at Camp Nou, but his spectacular dribble leaves you far from smiling.

The journey culminates in a dramatic Final between Holland and Portugal (right, I’m Dutch - no problem, I can do rock music and pretty girls). You are up against Cristiano Ronaldo once again. Your team-mates Ruud Van Nistlerooy and Wesley Schneijder play the ball into you and urge you to ‘Take It To The Next Level’ - even on this stage.

Director Guy Ritchie was obviously in his element during the shoot. He said “This is the largest advert I have filmed. Usually I do one commercial a year. Essentially this is like shooting a feature film on this one. So we spent a week in Barcelona, a couple of days up in Manchester. I think it’s 9 days overall which is long for a commercial.

“The footballers we’ve been working with were very nice fellas. Cristiano Ronaldo was a particularly nice chap. Also Ruud Van Nistelroy played football with my son for 20 minutes which made him very happy. They’ve all been very, very accommodating.”

Thanks to Nike, Footy Boots has obtained a sneak preview of the commercial so ahead of the debut showing, you can catch a glimpse right here.

The last time we featured the Nike Total 90 Laser II it was just before the England friendly in France. Sadly Wayne Rooney and his new football boots were unable to inspire Fabio Capello’s men as they went down 1 – nil in a rather drab display in Paris.

The T90 Laser II football boots are now available on pre-order, with despatch dates of the 1st May, so we thought we’d refresh your minds on the T90 Laser II.

T90 Laser II

Nike specialists have been tinkering, working through those long winter Oregon nights, and have now come up with the latest evolution of the Total 90 Laser II which, as with the original, has an increased sweet spot that improves shooting and passing accuracy to help take your game,should you be playing in a multi storey car park, to the next level.

The football boot is built to ensure that mobility and power remain unmatched on field of play whilst providing unrivalled fit and comfort.

And they’ve received a ringing endorsement from Chelsea’s Florent Malouda:

It’s important for us that Nike has designed this boot with the objective of increasing the player’s accuracy and the power of shots because in high level football, that’s what makes the difference. And with the speed at which we’re playing, we’re always looking for maximum accuracy and the outcome of matches often depends upon it.”

High praise indeed from the ‘3 goals so far this season’ midfielder.

Tech Spec:

Integrated offset lacing system provides increased boot to ball contact surface, minimising uneven ball strike and allowing greater ball control, accuracy and swerve.

Revolutionary V-Twin lacing system maximizes strike zone and optimizes fit allowing the true fit of a traditional football boot, without compromising the contact zone for ball strike.

Improved Shotshield technology on front of foot provides cleaner ball contact and superior control to allow the athletes to place the ball more accurately. The technology continues to utilise the precision ring technology used in its predecessor, providing increased accuracy through refined placement and design.

Teijin synthetic leather and engineered mesh work together to help protect the foot and maintain a constant temperature environment throughout a full 90 minutes.

Water resistant eVENT membrane enhances breathability and keeps the foot dry.

New high density outsole component supports and stabilises the planted foot when striking the ball.

Individually engineered hybrid studs are positioned for optimal traction and comfort, distributing pressure evenly across the foot.

An engineered sockliner provides improved arch and heel support whilst it’s unique anatomical design leverages multiple material densities to help distribute pressure and provide a tailored fit and feel from heel to toe.

Improved external heel counter cup provides added stability and works in combination with a molded foam package to create a superior feet and heel lockdown.

As well as updating the Total 90 Laser II, Nike has also released some stunning new imagery of some of their players. Just like looking in a mirror we thought in the Footy Boots office, minus the talent and plus a few kilos of course.

We thought you’d like to see a few examples as well.

Back in the spring of 2006, as we waited for Sven to lead England to World Cup glory (ahem) Footy Boots brought you the definitive list of boots worn by the England squad.

Two years on and with the cream of the Premier League about to be unleashed on the Parisian public, we thought it was high time to see how things have changed, particularly with the announcement of the new Nike Total 90 Laser II as worn by Wayne Rooney and the new colourways from Umbro for the SX Flare, Michael Owen’s football boot, and the SX Valor, the choice of defender John Terry.

So, after exhaustive research which involved at least 3 emails to a couple of mates with nothing better to do over Easter, here’s our guide to who’s wearing what in Fabio Capello’s 23 man squad to face France.

Of course, if you know better, we’d love to hear from you.

Nike Total 90 Laser II - the 2nd incarnation of the popular Nike Football Boot

Order this football boot NOW

The T90 Laser II takes over from the hugely popular T90 Laser. Hugely popular both in terms of sales and interestingly, used by 35% of Premier League players - you don’t get a much better testimonial than that statistic…..

So what’s changed in the T90 Laser II?

Building on the success of the T90 Laser, the first football boot designed to enhance accuracy, the T90 Laser II improves on that design. Whether it’s a shot on goal or pinpoint passing, Nike insists that the new T90 Laser II can give you the tools to help you take your game to the next level.

Working closely with its stable of world-class athletes such as Wayne Rooney and Fernando Torres, Nike has pushed the technological boundaries to improve accuracy even further, making even barn doors a target for us 40 + lardies. The precision rings that provided the T90 Laser football boot with the largest ‘sweet spot’ in football has been increased, improving shooting and accuracy, whilst the enhanced shotshield technology on the front of the boot provides cleaner ball contact and superior control.

When a player strikes the ball, a well planted foot is just as important as the striking football boot. After analysing the striking action (on the field that is, not French lorry drivers) Nike has integrated a new high density outsole component that supports and stabilises the planted foot when kicking the ball.

In addition, to ensure a solid foundation, the Total 90 Laser II boasts individually engineered hybrid studs that increase traction and comfort, providing not only better balance, but making you quicker on the pitch.

To arm a player with the most swerve, power and deadly accuracy, Nike has included an integrated V-twin (offset) lacing system that maximises the strike zone. The T90 Laser II also offers the player comfort and protection with a water resistant eVent membrane that enhances breathability and keeps the foot dry.

The new football boot is available to buy from May 1st and as well as Rooney and Torres, you can expect them to be worn by the likes of William Gallas (when he’s not having a blab) tonight’s England captain Rio Ferdinand, Florent Malouda and Fabio Cannavaro.

Players: Wayne Rooney, Fernando Torres, William Gallas, Florent Malouda, Fabio Cannavaro, Gennaro Gattuso

Price: £120

Availability: May 1st 2008

Colours: Black & Army Olive / White & Red

After close to six weeks out with a hairline foot fracture, Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney made his comeback last night in the Red Devils 1-0 Champions League victory at Sporting Lisbon.

The striker has become frustrated at Sir Alex Ferguson and the Old Trafford medical staff preventing him from returning earlier, having been straining at the leash over the last few weeks.

I’ve been dying to play,” Rooney said. “I feel I could have played a few weeks ago, so I’m a bit disappointed I wasn’t able to. It’s the third time I’ve had this injury and I’m obviously disappointed it happened so early in the season. Because I’ve had it before, I know when I’m ready to play and come back.”

Rooney’s foot fracture has reopened the debate about whether the lightweight design of modern football boots is to blame for the high number of foot injuries.

Rooney has however defended his Nike Total 90 Laser football boots:

“There’s been a lot of talk about the boots and a lot of old pros who played the game years ago coming out and talking about the boots,” he said. “But they don’t know what the boots are like. If you had a lad like Duberry stand on your foot, your foot is most likely going to break. I like to be an explosive player and I think that’s why it happens.”

Meanwhile, United’s north west rivals Liverpool have become the latest club to be inflicted by the curse of the metatarsal, with the club announcing that Adidas Predator Absolute wearing duo Daniel Agger and midfielder Xabi Alonso are likely to be out for six weeks, after suffering stress fractures to their 2nd (right foot) and 4th (left foot) metatarsals respectively.

He can’t do much on the pitch right now, but Rooney is certainly causing a stir in the media business.

Nike are in over drive at the moment, with viral video’s being released left right and centre. Rooney’s Target Practice video has been a huge success, its all over the tabloids, YouTube - it’s even featured in our own Footy Boots video collection …..

We’ve had loads of comments questioning whether Rooney hit the target, or whether it was staged. So Nike come out with a Behind the Scenes look, you can see it on our video collection on the Footy Boots homepage (or click here for the lazy ones).

If this one is legitimate, and we have no reason to doubt it, especially after the Ronaldinho hits the bar video, it goes to show just how accurate the boy Wazza is.

Here’s a look at some Rooney wannabe’s….

Some of the team try to recreate the video.

By his own admission “This was a vague attempt at the rooney nike ad”.

We agree……

Football Boot Brand Nike has dismissed claims that its Total 90 Laser boot was the cause of Wayne Rooney’s foot fracture, which has left the Manchester United and England international sidelined for two months.

The hairline fracture Rooney suffered to his left foot in Sunday’s Premiership opener against Reading is his third foot related injury since 2004.

Charlie Brooks, head of Corporate Communications for Nike UK has defended the football boot brand saying: “He (Rooney) himself is personally absolutely confident, as we are, that the boot had nothing to do with his injury.”

He added: “Nearly 20% of the professional players in the Barclay’s Premier League this weekend were wearing this boot.”

“I think it is a boot that stands up to all kinds of testing….and stands up to on-pitch demand.”

“I think what happened to Wayne is an unfortunate football injury.”

“When we were developing this boot we worked extensively with Wayne.”

“He was part of the development testing process. He went over to our headquarters in the United States and he tested the boot extensively over there.”

Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright however believes football boot brands in general need to sit down and see what they can do to help reduce the recent increase in foot injuries.

Wright states: “This latest spate of foot injuries must be linked to the lightness of the boot — what else can it be?”

“Let’s roll back a decade and look at a time when boots weren’t so advanced or precise — very few players seemed to have metatarsal injuries or foot damage like this.”.

As always Footy-Boots.com will be on the case looking for any developments in this story which is sure to generate a lot of differing opinions.

Just days after the release of Nike’s new Rooney Total 90 Laser Video Viral, featured here on footy-boots.com, the Manchester United and England striker’s foot injury curse has struck again.

Last year footy-boots.com raised questions about the banning of bladed football boots, if only to protect our national team stars from the dreaded metatarsal injury that has hampered preparations for the previous two World Cup campaigns as well as Euro 2004.

The hairline fracture Rooney sustained yesterday following an innocuous challenge by Reading’s Adidas +Predator Absolute wearing defender Michael Duberry. The injury occurred whilst Rooney was wearing Nike’s lightweight Total 90 Laser football boots. However hard pitches and a more intensive training regime have also been cited as a reason for the spate of foot fractures in recent years.

As footy-boots.com discussed last year, the regularity of this type of injury has coincided with the introduction of the bladed football boot. Sir Alex Ferguson must be pulling his hair out again, and as a critic of bladed football boots, he bans his players from wearing them.

Rooney’s foot injury nightmare began at Euro 2004, during the quarter final against host nation Portugal. Following his first metatarsal injury, Nike remodelled the design, giving more protection to the front area of the foot. The result was the Nike Air Zoom Total Supremacy. However, only four days later Rooney second metatarsal injury struck at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, leaving him with little time to recover for last year’s World Cup in Germany.

Rooney will join Newcastle’s Joey Barton on the sidelines; Barton fracturing metatarsals in a pre-season friendly at Carlisle, whilst wearing Rooney’s football boot of choice, the Nike T90 Laser. Depending on which paper you read, Rooney could be out for anything between two and three months, ruling him out of the potentially decisive Euro 2008 qualifiers against Israel and Russia at Wembley next month.

Football boot brands are producing often fantastic looking, lightweight football boots…but should they be focusing more on protecting the players’ tools of the trade….their feet. Rooney’s latest injury means this debate has reared its head again…

The search for Europe’s most accurate footballer has begun. The Sanchez Boys have set the ultimate challenge. The line up includes Nike T90 Laser footy boot quartet Wayne Rooney, Gennaro Gattuso, Florent Malouda and Torsten Frings.

From Friday, football boot fans can follow the Sanchez Boys as they travel across Europe to find these four football players in their quest for extreme football boot accuracy.

Over the next month, the Nike ‘Put It Where You Want It Tour’ heads to the UK, Portugal, France and Italy. Every kick and shot with their football boots will be revealed in four separate hilarious videos.

Nike, Rooney and The Sanchez Boys Video

In the first video, which you can view here at footy-boots.com on Friday, Manchester United and England superstar striker Wayne Rooney takes up the football boot challenge when the Sanchez Boys pay him a visit at his house on a rainy day in the North West England countryside.

The Sanchez Boys discover exactly how accurate Wayne Rooney’s Nike T90 Laser football boots really are. Straight away, Wayne puts the ball exactly where he wants it and scores maximum points by hitting targets strategically displayed on vulnerable Sanchez Boys’ body parts. Wayne took part in a series of footy boot trials including:

‘The Pain of Wayne’: one of the Sanchez Boys is tied up in goal wearing nothing more than a red thong. It is five points if Wayne strikes his back with the ball, ten points for his leg or arm and the ultimate twenty points to hit his behind. It only takes two attempts for Wayne to walk away with all twenty points.

‘Moving Goalmouth Bullseye’: one of the Sanchez Boys stands semi-naked in goal with a large dart-board target in front of him and challenges Wayne to hit the bullseye whilst he is running from goal-post to goal-post.

‘Rooney’s Musical Targets’: all four Sanchez Boys have to dance and move in the goal area whilst the music plays. Three wooden statues are also in goal with them. When the music stops, Wayne drills the ball at them with his Nike T90 Laser football boots. If the Sanchez Boys are hit, they are out of the game.

‘Rooney’s Seaside Challenge’: all Sanchez Boys take their places behind a classic wooden seaside caricature exposing their faces and vulnerable male body points for Wayne to take aim at with the ball.

Wayne commented:

“The funniest moment was when the lads were behind the goal and I was trying to hit them [with the ball] and one of them ran into the goal but he had no clothes on so he was in front of the goal for me to hit. It was difficult to concentrate at times because it was so funny.

Accuracy is so important in our game. It applies to every player on the pitch because for every position you play, you have to be accurate. Every team wants to score goals. Accuracy can make the exact difference between hitting the goal post, or scoring a goal.”

Be sure to check out Wayne’s football boot accuracy test on Footy-Boots.com TV, available from the Footy-Boots.com homepage.

Wayne Rooney’s Nike Laser Football Boots Videos: Smacker-Roo!

In the latest of Nike’s series of videos promoting its new Nike T90 Laser football boots, Wayne Rooney follows up from the much talked about “target” video (view it here) which saw Wayne hitting a target from 50 yards away. This time the action takes place at the end of the day with Rooney being asked by an annoying US director to show some of his best tricks for the camera. A tired Rooney is keen for the day to end and when the director finally loses patience and tells Rooney to ‘put it where you want it’ he obliges by smacking the ball right at the camera sending the camera man crashing to the floor! Unfortunately we see the hit from the camera’s pov rather than actually seeing him “take one for the team” full in the face…but it still displays the accuracy, power and the wrath of Roo!

Nike Football Boots - Shooting Gallery Videos

The clip has been produced to launch the new Shooting Gallery on www.nikefootball.com where Nike is asking football fans around the world to send in clips of themselves showing accuracy with a football. The clips will be showcased on the site in the coming months. See more of Wayne Rooney at www.nikefootball.com/rooney

Wayne Rooney Nike Total 90 Laser Football Boots Video

Since we featured the new Wayne Rooney video, part of the new Shooting Gallery on www.nikefootball.com, there has been a lot of talk on whether the video is REAL or FAKE? Here are the facts, as we see them:

- Rooney has difficulty in drawing a round circle
- Rooney is capable of hitting the target even from that distance
- nobody claims the video was Rooney’s first attempt
- the video flows seemlessly with no obvious editing
- the shadow of the ball is not where you would expect it to be
- the Nike logo is clearly displayed as the ball hits the screen

It’s the Nike logo that throws doubt on the video so in the interests of journalism, Team Footy Boots tried to recreate the video, in a “Phoenix from the Flames” moment, but several broken windows and dented car bonnets are all we can produce here at Footy Boots HQ!

Real or Fake - we can’t say for certain - but the fact is that it’s a great video showing a supremely skilled player in a top end football boot. Why not go onto the Nike Football site, download a target and try it for yourself and prove it can be done!

Nike’s New Manchester United Home Kit Update

The image of the Manchester United Team in their shiny new Nike Home Kits interests us at Footy Boots not for the shiny new kit (with its new collar, tail detailing and premiership badge) but for the football boots worn by the assembled Man United players.

Rooney leads the line in his yellow Nike Total 90 Laser football boots - even though he prefers to wear the white / black colourway for actually playing in. The yellow Nike T90 Lasers are dotted around the team, along with the white, indicating the impact the new football boot have made already on professional players - including Paul Scholes, normally a Nike Total 90 Supremacy wearer. Cristiano Ronaldo is finally out of his white Mercurial Vapor III, and is wearing the new dark blue colourway. Interestingly Ryan Giggs is not in Reebok Sprintfits, but in his old Reebok Pro Rage, possibly indicating the age of the photo. For Team Adidas, we have the standard Adidas Predator Absolute Power football boots, with no showing of any new Predator colourways. The most intriguing feature is Michael Carrick, long-time Puma football boot wearer, wearing Nike Air Legend football boots! Is this a new signing for Nike, or simply a case of Carrick being added into the photo at a later stage?

The names of a few of the players have us stumped here at Footy Boots central, many of them looking like rejects from a police line-up, so any readers want to pitch in and let us know the names and football boots of the fringe players in the picture, feel free to tell us the score!!

New Nike Manchester United Home Kit Details

The front of the home jersey features an engineered mesh pattern inspired by the architecture of Old Trafford & the contours of the body. On the back of the jersey a flash of white tape frames the name & number with a fine black stripe, MUFC and the Red Devil emblem inside. As a final touch there is a label with the Red Devil emblem and the nickname “The Red Devils”. White shorts and black socks complete the new home kit.

Nike Launch Total 90 Laser Football Boots Shooting Gallery
Can you hit the target as well as Wayne Rooney? In a new video from Nike Football we see Wayne Rooney in his yellow Nike Total 90 Laser football boots taking command of a camera and drawing a target on the screen. He places the camera down and jogs 50 yards away. He begins to juggle the ball and then drills it back at the camera striking it right in the face, with the accuracy of a modern-day Robin Hood, putting it exactly where he wanted - right on target! Bullseye for Wazza!

The video was shot during Rooney’s recent visit to Nike’s World Headquarters in Oregon, USA to coincide with the new campaign launching the new Shooting Gallery on www.nikefootball.com where Nike is asking football fans around the world to send in clips of themselves showing accuracy with a football. The clips will be showcased on the site in the coming months.
