NIKE CTR360 MAESTRI III LADIES – ATOMIC PURPLE/GRAND PURPLE
Nike’s CTR360 range has been a huge success since their launch in June of 2009 and have become of the bench mark in the ‘control’ category. Their latest incarnation the CTR360 Maestri III was a complete redesign and after a successful launch Nike have unveiled the latest ladies colourway – Atomic Purple/Grand Purple.
Made for the midfield maestro, the new CTR360 Maestri III is reengineered to deliver enhanced control, traction, support and lightweight comfort. Using next generation Kanga-Lite synthetic material for an assured touch and durability, the new boot also features new All Conditions Control (ACC) technology, providing the same level of control in either dry or wet conditions.
Innovations include a revamped 3D control pad that uses separate strips with fins of varying sizes to hug the arch and maximize contact with the ball, optimizing receiving and passing accuracy.
An asymmetrical lacing system enlarges the area used to control the ball and a new streamlined design enhances touch sensitivity. A dimpled texture on the midfoot increases friction, once again aiding the players control and touch.
The new and more responsive plate features a 360 degree stud placement – the boot deploys round studs on the medial side and blades on the lateral – is designed to provide premium comfort; perfect for the midfielder’s constant turns, and cuts through the pitch.
ADIDAS ADIZERO F50 LADIES – BLACK/RED ZEST/METALLIC SILVER
Having recently released the next generation adizero f50 football boot, Adidas have now unveiled the first ladies colourway for their hugely successful speed boot – Black/Red Zest/Metallic Silver.
At only 165g, the adizero f50 is one of the lightest shoes on the market and the ladies colourway features all the same technology as the men’s boot with the only difference being a slightly narrower fit.
Sprintskin is a 1.5mm thick synthetic layer that allows the boot to be lightweight whilst maintaining a natural feeling between boot and ball. Sprintweb is the 3D printed texture on the surface of the boot that allows for exceptional ball control at speed and also provides the supple but stable construction. Sprintframe is a strong but lightweight lower section that offers players a perfectly balanced boot.
As with all Adidas football boots, the next-generation adizero f50 features a miCoach Speedcell cavity in the soleplate enabling performance metrics to be tracked, analysed and compared against the best players in the world or with friends via social media networks.
ADIDAS PREDATOR LZ LADIES – RED ZEST/RUNNING WHITE/COLLEGIATE PURPLE
Adidas’ Predator LZ is their most technologically advanced, unique looking and innovative Predator ever and weighs just 225 grams Now Adidas have launched a new Red Zest/Running White/Collegiate Purple colourway – especially for ladies. The ladies LZ still feature the five distinctive ‘lethal zones’ made to deliver greater ball control, touch, accuracy and power – with the only real difference being the slightly slimmer fit.
The ‘First Touch’ zone acts as a cushioning platform on the synthetic upper to give immediate ball contact. The inside vamp of the boot features the ‘Drive’ zone which follows the natural shape of the instep to create a rebound effect for greater distance and power. The ‘Sweet Spot’ zone on the medial side of the boot generates greater spin and pace. While the instep of the boots feature a ‘Pass’ zone with memory foam on the medial side of the boot to ensure consistency of passing. The ‘Dribble’ zone is a continuation of the SL rubber from the forefoot, to provide optimum grip on the ball for controlled dribbling.
A newly engineered Hybridtouch upper combines the benefits of leather and synthetic – comfort, stability, reduced water uptake and the highest quality feel in all weather conditions. A Sprintframe construction uses geometrical learnings and offers the perfect balance between lightweight and stability. The Sprintframe outsole provides the Predator Lethal Zones with maximum grip and optimum pressure distribution on a firm or soft ground. The Predator Lethal Zones is also the first miCoach enabled Predator boot.
ADIDAS ADIPURE 11PRO MICOACH LADIES – BLACK/WHITE/ PURPLE
The new Adidas AdiPure 11Pro has not taken the game by storm in the same way as Adidas’ AdiZero and recent Predators have. They are however still a remarkably good boot. Now adidas have given the ladies a new colourway – Black/White/Purple.
The AdiPure heritage is comfort, style and touch and Adidas have kept this in the new 11Pro. The highest quality Taurus leather provides an excellent fit, comfort and superb ball touch. An ultra-thin ‘Duracoating’ protects the leather in areas of high abrasion.
A fully engineered, ultra-thin, midfoot ‘360’ anatomically shaped support saddle’ features the famous 3 stripes and adds midfoot stability.The addition of Adidas SPRINTFRAME makes this the lightest AdiPure yet and the revolutionary sole also fetures MiCoach technology. A FlexZone in on the forefoot ball area offer greater flexibility and aid linear motion. A split between the 3rd and 4th toes called PlusFlex aids ground adaption and provides a higher energy efficiency during later movements.
The AdiPure range seldom boosts eye-catching colourways with Adidas opting to stick with simpler, classic colourways – and that is the case with this new Black/White/Purple ladies colourway. Adidas used this colourway as a base for the special make up for Euro refs. The Purple is slightly darker – closer to the ‘Ultra Purple’ used in the previous ladies colourway – and runs over the nose and upper on the little textured area.
ADIDAS PREDATOR LZ WOMENS– BRIGHT PINK/RUNNING WHITE/BLACK
Adidas’ new Predator LZ football boots were greatly anticipated before their release. With 3 colourways (including Beckham’s) and a SL version available, Adidas now add the women’s version.
Featuring all the unique and innovative technology from the men’s version, the Predator LZ women’s boots are one of the most advanced boots on the market. Five distinctive ‘lethal zones’, which aim to deliver greater ball control, touch, accuracy and power make the LZ the most technologically advanced, unique looking and innovative Predator to ever be released.

The ‘Dribble’ zone is a continuation of the SL rubber from the forefoot, to provide optimum grip on the ball for controlled dribbling.
The new LZ is certainly eye-catching and that is true of the women’s colourway as well with this Bright Pink/Running White/Black combination.

Gold is a fairly common colour on boots. It is however mostly used as a trim and seldom as a main colour. Some may think it is a bold move by Adidas to release this Matte Gold/Running White/Black then. We think it looks pretty good.
