NIKE FOOTBALL RELEASES NIKE PREMIER BOOTS IN BRASIL, ENGLAND AND FRANCE EDITIONS

New boots celebrate the greatest achievements of three of international football's most famous nations. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8s97bIGb4VQ/UsCTNcYxLmI/AAAAAAAAAiI/uOSmBg2G4KQ/s1600/43127_223011_Global_Football_Group_Star_LR_detail.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8s97bIGb4VQ/UsCTNcYxLmI/AAAAAAAAAiI/uOSmBg2G4KQ/s640/43127_223011_Global_Football_Group_Star_LR_detail.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>  Earlier this year <a href="http://www.nike.com/" target="_blank">Nike </a>launched the <a href="http://prosoccersa.blogspot.com/2013/06/nike-premier-modern-performance-take-on.html" target="_blank">Nike Premier</a>, a modern performance take on classic football boot design. The launch color was a defining black and white combination. For the latest incarnation of this timeless boot, Nike has created a limited edition run that celebrates three nations who have achieved glory on football's greatest stage: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_national_football_team" target="_blank">Brasil</a>, <a href="http://www.thefa.com/" target="_blank">England </a>and <a href="http://www.francefootball.fr/" target="_blank">France</a>.  <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UfoxZA_EuTI/UsCTVYWvJII/AAAAAAAAAiQ/K0OLLh1z5ro/s1600/43127_223011_Global_Football_PremierFG_Base_LR_detail.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UfoxZA_EuTI/UsCTVYWvJII/AAAAAAAAAiQ/K0OLLh1z5ro/s640/43127_223011_Global_Football_PremierFG_Base_LR_detail.jpeg" width="594" /></a></div> The Nike Premier Brasil Edition comes in a stand-out Tour Yellow and White color combination. France is represented by a vivid Treasure Blue and White whilst the England design comes in Crimson and White.  <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w12PP8dKlYs/UsCTfflLiII/AAAAAAAAAiY/FSZj75UrFzk/s1600/Global_Football_BLU_PremierFG_detail.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w12PP8dKlYs/UsCTfflLiII/AAAAAAAAAiY/FSZj75UrFzk/s640/Global_Football_BLU_PremierFG_detail.jpeg" width="596" /></a></div> Each boot features a predominantly one color upper with the stud-tips matching that color on a white-based sole plate. The sock liner features a graphic referencing the year(s) the respective country was crowned champions.  <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Tdkz0ae9PVU/UsCTlVUyPPI/AAAAAAAAAig/GAb0e4wrRCY/s1600/43127_223011_Global_Football_Red_PremierFG_Base_LR_detail.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Tdkz0ae9PVU/UsCTlVUyPPI/AAAAAAAAAig/GAb0e4wrRCY/s640/43127_223011_Global_Football_Red_PremierFG_Base_LR_detail.jpeg" width="594" /></a></div> The premium leather used for the upper sets the benchmark for softness and feel for leather-based boots while the transitional flex in the sole plate provides a firm mid foot combined with a flexible and responsive forefoot. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3n89u0Kb6RE/UsCTtu5D2MI/AAAAAAAAAio/7jFEXSU0zR8/s1600/43127_223011_Global_Football_Group_Star_Premier_base_LR_detail.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3n89u0Kb6RE/UsCTtu5D2MI/AAAAAAAAAio/7jFEXSU0zR8/s640/43127_223011_Global_Football_Group_Star_Premier_base_LR_detail.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div> The sole plate design provides excellent traction on a variety of surfaces. The boot also uses Nike's most anatomical last to-date, as seen on the Nike <a href="https://prosoccer.co.za/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=82_88_91&product_id=806" target="_blank">Hypervenom</a>, which helps place the foot closer to the ball and ground for greater foot-to-ball feel and touch.  The Nike Premier Brasil, England and France Editions are available at <a href="http://nike.com/">Nike.com</a> and soon on <a href="http://www.prosoccer.co.za/">www.prosoccer.co.za</a>.  - Remember to like us on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/prosoccersa" target="_blank">Facebook</a>.
