Inside the innovation: Day 2 – National Team Kits

BLOG_AU — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 00:48:56 GMT

After the excitement of the first day of the Write History launch, day two needed to pull out all the stops.

From the exclusive national team kit catwalk to the recycled technology behind the uniform design, the second day strongly continued to deliver innovation.

Comfort and lightness were at the heart of the new national team kit blueprint, with Dri-fit reducing the accumulation of sweat, and the shirts’ meshed side panels dispersing body heat.

Appearances from a host of international footballers, including Alexandre Pato, Clint Dempsey, Nani, and Ryan Nelsen, gave attendees a close up, personal view of some of the shirts that will be worn in South Africa.

Will one of those shirts be worn by the winning captain?

Lace Up

BLOG_AU — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 04:28:29 GMT

There are thousands of ways to wear the laces and even more things to do with them, but there's one way to help stop the spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa: lace up.

By wearing (NIKE)RED laces on their feet (or hands, heads, arms, waist…) Didier Drogba, Andrei Arshavin, Clint Dempsey, Denilson, Marco Materazzi, Javier Mascherano, Fabio Cannavaro, along with Maria Sharapova and Kobe Bryant want to encourage fans globally to Lace Up Save Lives.

Join the must-win fight against AIDS in Africa.

32 nations, 1 mission

BLOG_AU — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 03:43:26 GMT

The groups are drawn, the matches set and history awaits.

The chosen 32 have earned their tickets to South Africa. But belief and an appetite for glory will now be put to the test on the world’s biggest stage. Who’s hungry?

Expect danger and perfection in equal doses when Drogba, Fabiano and Ronaldo clash in the early stages. All three lethal finishers will aim to change the game at all times. Backlines brace yourselves...

England will go into their first match against the USA with plenty of confidence, having blazed to the top of their qualification group. Combine Rooney's ruthless eye for goal, Ferdinand's strength and Theo's lightning-quick pace and you have a team ready for business.

But no longer considered inexperienced upstarts, Landon Donovan's side have proved they can hold their own, finishing second in the Confederations Cup – expect the unexpected.

And it’s not just about the big guns. The smaller nations will also be eager to shake things up this summer.

Michael Essien, Muntari, Song and Obi Mikel will be holding it down for the African nations and baring their teeth with the best of them. While South Korea and Australia provide the giant killing potential and look to cause 2010 upsets.

As 2010 draws near, one thing’s for certain – everyone believes they can win it, one team will prove it.

Who will go all the way? Have your say on the Nikefootball facebook Page.
