Nike5: Street Gato. Your Thoughts?

Who out there has had a chance to try out the new street gato from Nike? Let me know what you think about the shoes in terms of feel, touch, and durability. I'm probably most interested in the durability of these shoes. I've used my lunar gato boots outside on tennis courts and pavement and they have really taken a beating.

My personal favorite colorway would be the all black upper with white outsole. The little touch of neon green/yellow circling the boot completes the look.

Anything is Possible

This is what dreams are made of. Nike gave thousands of players the chance to perform on the big stage and try to achieve the ultimate goal; To earn a professional contract. Some players out there never have that opportunity to showcase their talent. With so many players across the globe, sometimes a raw gem might fall through the cracks. When you do get that chance you need to own it. You never know who might be watching.

Foggy Freestyle Volume IV

Swung by Tursi's Soccer in Lake Oswego yesterday and picked up a Futsal ball made by Calle. Obviously the first thing we did was film a couple freestyle sessions. Footy Guru nearly gets run down by some passing cars while I put on a demo for the shoppers at Albertsons.

LUNAR GATO! Fresh out of the ES

New Nike5 Collection

About 10 days ago Nike rolled out is new collection of Nike5 shoes providing players with options based on the surface they are playing on. Initiatives like this give me hope that there is a market for the type of facility I would like to open.

"Players are bound to find a boot to fit their game, with a collection of boots led by the Nike5 Bomba Finale (cage), Nike5 Elastico Finale (caneta) and Nike5 LunarGato (sala). With a range of surfaces and game styles the Nike5 footwear is designed to the exact specifications of specific small sided games. Cage is typically played on artificial surfaces, including indoor and outdoor games in Europe, Central America and North America. Caneta is primarily played on indoor courts, while Sala is played on hard surfaces such as dirt and hard courts; both originate from Latin America. These homegrown games are quickly expanding around the world."

Depending on the field surface at my location, the Elastico Finale or the LunarGato would be the boots of choice. I'm hoping to get my hands on a few of these shoes soon and I'll be sure to let you know how they perform. The Bomba Finales would be the obvious choice for turf facilities like SoccerPlex, Portland Indoor, and Tualatin Indoor. Although I'd like to get all three!!
