As soon as Nike launched the Total 90 Laser III, there was one thing that almost all boot fans agreed on – that the Electric Green colourway was bold, very bold.
Indeed, it seemed much of the debate centered around that rather than the numerous technological advances the Nike designers had come up with.
So it should come as a huge surprise that the second version of the Laser III is somewhat more traditional in' looks.
The K-Leather model in a White / Obsidian / Gold colourway is available now on pre-order and will be retailing from 1st February from £129.99.
The boot also comes with access to Nike Football+, a digital coaching programme which we first saw with the CTR360 Maestri.
The system, which you can access at nikefootball.com via a special user code unique to each pair of boots, aims to help players improve their skills with insights, training drills and instruction from the coaching team at Juventus.
As for the boot itself, particular attention has been paid to the instep area and how players connect and put swerve on the ball. The result is a newly created shot shield designed for a cleaner strike on the ball for increased power, ball swerve and accuracy.
Greater Precision at High Velocity:
Modular Instep – five pods on the boot create a uniform contact point that creates a smoother surface for even pressure distribution. The pods are configured as five separate units that operate as one to remain flexible and fluid when interacting with the foot.
Enhanced Accuracy:
Advanced shape-correcting memory foam – provides a smooth and more consistent surface to enhance accuracy when shooting. This unique foam adapts to the demands of the individual player.
Increased Friction, More Swerve:
Engineered Fins – raised TPU fins on the medial side of the boot deliver increased friction on ball contact to ensure more swerve when you need it most. Each fin is strategically angled and sized to enhance control over ball trajectory, but fold on contact with the ball to accommodate great touch and feel.
The first Laser III colourway was Electric Green / Red / Black
The Total 90 Laser III design team also repositioned the eye-stay to a more asymmetrical position to allow a cleaner strike surface and easier fit and adjustment of the boot. Stability and comfort is enhanced with reinforcements to the external heel counter and outsole.
I’m probably going to be in the minority but I think I prefer the green version.
Nice. The green version was never that bad and this one has nothing wrong with it. Decent.
it looks like the other colourway of the 360
the problem with there is that every colourway will be ruined by ugly ugly black rubber. The predators can colour their zone easier and therefore they are better looking.
I think this is definately a big sigh of relief for those people who wanted better colourways-I think despite the negativety shown towards the boot, people will find the green colourway will grow on them. I think the K leather edition will be a big success, especially for players like Torres who cleary( after his use of the laser 2s during the villa game), want the comfort, but I think it will take him and other players( clearly not Rooney with the form he is in =D , to adjust and get used to the way they shoot with this boot. Personally, I’m waiting for the blue laser III colourway or the Red one, but I could be swayed with the Mercurial VI launch in april
this is better than the pred X
i don’t know if it’s the flashlight photography or what, but this white-gold version ridiculously looked even cheaper than the first green-red 🙁
the gold color looked like copper-brown instead, decreasing the classy factor of its appearance. beckham’s white LA galaxy powerswerve still the best example of applying gold color on football shoes IMHO.
since i’m already notorious with laser III, i don’t know what else to say… this just won’t grow on me -no matter how sweet the next colorway is.
did we ever find out why el nino was wearing the Laser II’s against Villa?
this colourway (white n gold) has been in the kitbag.com for over a week i think…mybe two..haha..
btw eric, el nino has changed his boots for many times b4.. like he changed to white nike coloured boots for SPain’s final games againts germany..
so, i think, mybe el nino will prefer this colourway as i personally feels that el nino is more comfortable with white coloured boots.
Should have just gone with this colourway to start with. The boot looks half decent like this
wth 130 dollars??????
would prefer anything wether preds, laser or wave as long as the rubber sweet spots are not as low-profile as the last few preds and the laser before this. mizunos are actually good… though too much predator influence.
