Nike Summer 2012 Footwear Brings Style To La Terre Bateau

(May 4, 2012) It simply would not make sense to have the latest apparel without the newest in footwear, and Nike has your feet covered in an array of colors. It’s about more than just appearance for Nike as they take advantage of their variety of cushioning systems to offer everything from maximum comfort to a low, speedy feel.

For the statuesque Maria Sharapova, her Cargo Khaki and Black dress will be complimented by the Lunar Speed 3 shoe in White with Black and Scarlet Fire (the same color as the top she is wearing during the tune up season). This lightweight, flexible shoe takes advantage of a Lunarlon sole for responsiveness and Flywire construction for support without dragging you down.

For the player wanting added comfort and a more generous fit, check out the shoe of choice for Serena Williams, the Air Max Mirabella 3 in a White with Tropical Twist and Black accented color pattern to accentuate her dress at Roland Garros. The Air Max cushioning system in the heel provides extreme comfort regardless of the court surface while an XDR outsole provides durability and traction.

On the men’s side of the courts, all eyes are looking at the shoes of Roger Federer, the Zoom Vapor 9 Tour SL in Anthracite, Black, and Cyber. This is simply an impressive looking shoe, with a Zoom insert in the heel to provide a low-to-the-ground cushioned response and Adaptive-Fit technology to offer a fit similar to a running shoe, this is a must try.

It just wouldn’t feel right being at Roland Garros without watching Rafael Nadal dominating the clay courts yet again, and this year he will be doing it in the Air Max Courtballistec 4.3 in Scarlet Fire with Anthracite and White. The most cushioned and most durable shoe of the Nike line, the Courtballistec is designed to take the kind of pounding that Rafa himself dishes out.

The towering Argentine, Juan Martin del Potro will be accenting his Advantage Tread Crew in Cyber with a toned down White, Neutral Grey, and Black pair of Zoom Breathe 2K11 shoes. The newest version of the Breathe line, this shoe offers extreme ventilation and a Zoom insert in the heel for that responsive feel. A fully mesh upper with Drag-On X cage provides breathability and a stable feel.
