We know all that anyone can talk about these days is deflate-gate, but when the two conference champions take the field on February 1st for Super Bowl XLIX, both teams will be wearing some cutting edge performance gear courtesy of Nike. Better yet, if you are looking for some gear to enhance your workouts or simply improve your pick-up game, it’s also available for purchase.
Nike Pro Combat Hypercool 3.0
First up, the Nike Pro Combat Hypercool 3.0. According to the folks at Nike the Pro Combat base layer apparel helps keep body temperature regulated with a combination of optimal fit and open-mesh ventilation zones. The thermoregulation allows athletes to perform at their best in any conditions. Which means you can wear it for those outdoor runs or indoor workouts.
Nike Vapor Untouchable Cleat
Individual Nike-sponsored athletes from both the Patriots and Seahawks will wear the Nike Vapor Untouchable cleat in their team color. Always the eco-friendly apparel maker, this is the first Nike Flyknit football cleat made with recycled polyester yarn. Each pair of Nike Vapor Untouchable cleats is knit with the equivalent of five recycled plastic bottles. Talk about literally reducing your carbon footprint! But Nike doesn’t skimp on the style. The retail version of the cleat design features a crisp white Flyknit upper accented by platinum Nike Flywire cables.
Nike Vapor Jet Knit Glove
The Nike Vapor Jet Knit Glove will also make an appearance at Super Bowl XLIX. Athletes, including New York Giant star rookie Odell Beckham Jr, have tested the glove extensively. With its one-piece knit back, the glove reduces distraction by eliminating seams for comfort and a full range of movement. According to Nike, the glove also features an advanced full-length Magnigrip surface on the palm, which enhances the catching surface. Team-specific hues are revealed in the knit when the glove is flexed and stretched. Not bad if you wanna ball at your flag-football games.
Nike Fingertrap Max Trainer
One of Nike’s most versatile training shoes, the men’s Nike Fingertrap Max Trainer delivers lightweight comfort and a lockdown fit with a distinct look at the gym, on the field or in the streets. When we got a look at the tricked out Super Bowl Edition we just thought it was straight up badass.
