It’s going to be a huge year for football boots with the World Cup in South Africa later this summer, and thanks to the guys at Lotto, we’ve got some exclusive information on their big release of 2010, the Zhero Gravity Ultra.
The Zhero Gravity Ultra is the evolution of the first lace-less football boot, the Zhero Gravity and features a combination of exclusively patented technologies that makes it unique.
The first of these is the Reactive Arch, a new sole with a concave form. The description is a bit technical but in essence, it flexes, moving in unison with the natural movement of the transversal arch in the forefoot, and favours the subsequent elastic return (energy return) of the forefoot. It is the first dynamic sole that ensures:
•Maximum Cushioning of the Impact Forces: Reduces trauma due to the impact with the ground that the foot undergoes at every step, returning the energy stored by the Reactive Arch to the direction of movement.
•Stability when Planting the Foot: Operates on a wider surface area during the phase of maximum load, increasing the foot’s stability.
•Reactivity during Thrust: Allows the fastest and most effective possible elastic return of the foot, enhancing sports performance to the maximum.
This exclusively patented Lotto technology is featured not only in football boots, but also in the Lotto’s tennis and running range.
The Zhero Gravity Ultra comes with Pro-fit which is inserted in the upper, guaranteeing a perfect fit and maximum comfort.
The absence of laces extends the contact surface of the upper guaranteeing complete contact with the ball. The Pebax external heel counter ensures the correct support and protection of the heel.
The upper is microfibre: a hydro repellent, anti-abrasion material that performs in any climate. And of course, no Lotto Zhero boot would be complete without Twist’ngo.
The Zhero Gravity Ultra will come in two colourways, White/Metal Blue Night and Black /Bright White and is expected to retail at £150.
We’ll bring you more details on this exciting release from Lotto as soon as we have it.

Yes! I was wondering when Lotto were actually going to evolve their successful Zhero Gravity range. I can not wait to see what they unveil.

Always been a big fan of lotto football boots. I still own a pair of Adapto, I think that is the model!

Nice! I love the colour scheme! I hope they’re grippier than they look though, that could be a dealbreaker for me!

I seen a pic of them on lotto’s facebook page but it is not very visible

Love the color way and overall looks and the concepts behind the technology, but the lack of laces still makes me think they would work better as dress shoes than football boots simply because if your feet are not the prefect size they will slide around and get massive blisters.

is that the forefoot???
i prefer the 1 2 3 and i will buy the 1 for 100usd

this is pretty frustrating for an all out lotto owner. i’ve owned the zhero range since their first pair. and ever since twist n go they’ve just gone down hill…i owned the original gold lotto zhero gravities…besides the sole plate separating they were incredible! the shoe was grippy and gave me a great show…this microfiber looks like they’re machine stitched with no grip. the sole plate still looks like it’ll be a problem…and twist n go is god awful, grass gets underneath it and it pops right off. these don’t look necessarily as lightweight either. i hope further details will prove me wrong…until then i guess i’ll just have to find a way to keep forking out cash for the original gravities.

mitch:
i believe the “pro-fit” is a type of memory foam that conforms and holds the foot within the shoe.
i havn’t tried it, but sounds interesting.
also interested in the reactive arch concept. cant wait for footy-boot’s review!

Hmm sounds too much like the concave PT1+, especially the reactive arc thing. Sounds a little gimmmicky, although the concave pad on the PTs are really excellent!

February 5th, 2010 at 7:21 pm

I own the previous one and it was super!!!! I am looking forward for this new release!!! Lotto Sport is the Italian ‘NASA’ in the development of shoe technology, without any doubt!!! I’ve read somewhere that they are studying all this stuff in collaboration with several famous italian labs and university. that’s great!!! italians do it better!!!! forget nike expensive useless boots…!!!
