NIKE RELAUNCH NIKE iD

Last week saw the relaunch of Nike’s signature Nike iD service at a snow-covered ceremony at Niketown London on Oxford Circus.

Star Power

Chelsea star John Obi Mikel was the focus of attention as he created his ideal football boots in a bespoke ID session with on-hand Nike design consultants .

Whipping up a custom pair of Nike T90 Laser III‘s, the powerful midfielder went for an understated black and white design with a splash of yellow on the Nike tick – not hugely dissimilar to the White/Black/Cyber colourway that launched earlier this year!

The Changes

The focus of the changes to the Nike iD service are focused around tweaking performance in their football boots to give the athlete the ultimate edge over their opponent

Putting players at the mercy of the design consultants means that your boots of choice will always be the perfect fit for your foot. Even if your feet are wide, or different sizes; the design team at the Nike iD studio will make sure you have the best fitting football boots possible.

Players visiting the Boot Room at Nike Town London are able to work with the NIKEiD design consultants to create their own bespoke pair of football boots. They can get measured for the right width fitting, pick a sole plate to match a surface, then select material, colour and embroider a unique iD.

Boots and apparel are fully customizable in the following ways:

Available to all football boots

Four customizable sole plates
Traditional outdoor surfaces
Soft ground for wet conditions
Hard ground for hard, dry surfaces
Artificial ground designed specifically for play on artificial grass

Variable Sizing

Choose between wide and slim foot width to accommodate most foot shapes
Size 3.5UK up to Size 14UK

Cushioning
Cushioned sock liner allows for a softer ride and reduced stud pressure
Or a Responsive sock liner that gives a slightly firmer feel for quicker reaction times

Lace Shroud

In store Boot Steamer
For those that are picking up their boots in store, a boot steamer is on hand that allows for the boot to be steam moulded to the wearers feet for ultimate comfort
