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.

 
Earlier this year Nike launched the Nike Premier, 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: Brasil, England and France



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. 



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. 



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.



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 Hypervenom, 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 Nike.com and soon on www.prosoccer.co.za- Remember to like us on Facebook.

200 cards - base set

An error from Topps, the base card and all the parallel versions of the Jermain Defoe card actually depicts another Spurs player, Etienne Capoue. The green version is shown above.

Match Attax/Match Attax Extra ~ Trophy cards

2 per season

These cards don't usually appear on the official checklist, so I thought I'd include illustrations of them here. There's usually one issued with the usual Match Attax set early in the season and another when Match Attax Extra is released towards the end of the season. Pete Holland (pholla65) has been invaluable in supplying most of the photos used here.
