Limited Edition Nike Ballistec 1.3

So I ventured over to Tennis Warehouse today to check out what new stuff they had and look at what I saw on the homepage!  These are a new limited edition Nike Air Court Ballistec 1.3 Nadal shoes.  They are not for the faint of heart of for those guys who are afraid of people calling them out on the colors that they wear.  The shoes are pink with turqouise and a yellow swoosh.  What makes them even cooler is the “Rafa” insignia on the back and the four marking on the side symbolizing Rafa’s four French Open titles.  If you are interested in these do not wait long as these will be gone very, very quickly.

HEAD Introduces New Performance Tennis Footwear

 

Kennelbach – Austria - January 2009 - HEAD is stepping up its game in the tennis footwear business. In 2009 HEAD will re-launch its line of footwear with updated technology and cosmetics for today’s youthful, aggressive and stylish tennis player. The new footwear collection will be available in February 2009.

 

Both men’s and women’s lines’ technology will complement existing product attributes, continue to enhance and improve player performance on any court surface while adding updated cosmetic and aesthetics looks for the modern athlete.

 

The 2009 line incorporates three new lines of technology:

• HEAD Vi-Pod^TM Technology, which is integrated into the midsole heel area and eliminates vibration, absorbs energy, then distributes to the entire foot.
• HEAD Energy Bridge^TM Technology, which connects the heel and the forefoot area providing torsion stability, ensures increased transfer of power from the heel to the forefront. The Energy Bridge is made of breathable net mesh material to ensure ventilation.
• HEAD Lateral Control^TM Technology is integrated into the forefoot area with a squared edge. It is composed of a harder rubber which provides an optimum in lateral stability and enables quick changes in direction.

 

“HEAD’s line of footwear products is constructed with the highest quality materials while maintaining cutting edge design. More importantly, the shoes are made to perform. The footwear can stand up to even the most aggressive tennis player,” said Robert Marte, Executive Vice President of HEAD’s Racquet Sports Division.

 

These new technologies will add to the line’s four existing technologies, which include:

• HEAD CXG^TM Comfort Grid which provides comfort, shock absorption, decreased foot fatigue, stability and motion control.
• HEAD Cooling System^® which creates “climate control” within the shoe by absorbing and releasing excess heat build-up.
• The HEAD Radial Contact^TM ensures constant traction with maximum flexibility.
• The HEAD HyBrasion^TM outsole technology was developed to enhance resistance for the high stress areas of the tennis shoes.
