Nike Maxim Hi-Vis Football

It may not quite be winter yet, but it is according to Nike! This weekend will see Europe’s three premier football leagues (the EPL, La Liga and Serie A) use the new Hi-Vis Nike Maxim football. With the days getting shorter and darker, the new Hi-Vis Maxim is designed for maximum visual performance and high contrast on the pitch.

Nike are recognised as one of the world’s leading suppliers of match balls. Despite the fact that adidas have bragging rights when it comes to major tournaments, Nike can take pride from their official partnership with Europe’s elite football leagues. Their elite footballs produced over the last decade constantly supersede the previous incarnation in innovation, performance and reliability.

The Nike Maxim ball features Nike RaDaR (Rapid Decision and Response). The technology allows players to see the ball better and capitalize on split second scoring and passing opportunities. The bold geometric graphic generates a strong visual appearance – a common feature of Nike footballs. The optimal use of bright, contrasting colours ensures the ball will be spotted easily both by spectators and players when it is fizzed all over the pitch.

The new Nike Maxim ball is made up of 5 different layers. The first is a PU textured that stabilizes ball flight to increase accuracy and efficiency. Then a flexible nitrogen-expanded foam gives superior touch and consistent feel in all weather conditions. Responsive rubber stores energy from impact and releases it at launch for power and speed, while a layer of polyester support fabric enhances the structure and stability of the ball for durability. Finally, a bladder made in six-wing carbon-latex air is a chamber that provides explosive acceleration off the foot and superior air retention.

The ball goes on pre-sale today, and we will see the bright Hi-Vis football making it’s way around football pitches this weekend. What do you think of the latest Nike Hi-Vis football?
