Nike CTR Maestri II Gold FG
New with box
The Upper:
- Nike introduced their newest innovation, the Kanga-Lite upper material
- A synthetic material that had a leather feel - and yes, this material actually did feel like leather
- The Kanga-Lite was a bit lighter and more durable than natural leather materials
- Nike also added a plastic padded area in the instep for increased accuracy and control on passing
The Sole Plate:
- The sole plate featured a bladed like design, that wasn't typical for Nike
- The outside studs were very similar to some older Predator models
- Nike also added three studs in a circular design in the inner fore front area for added traction when cutting and turning
Notes and Comments:
- Seriously one of the best boots Nike's ever produced. EVER.
- Still remains a mystery why they ended the line after a few short years
- Ultimate comfort and control boots, worn by many greats including Iniesta, Fabregas, Tevez, and more
- This is the normal Maestri model, not the Elite pack that had the carbon fiber bottoms. However, this sole plate was much more flexible and comfortable (personal opinion) than the carbon fiber plate was
- This is a USA exclusive release with the golden upper
