The Magista is engineered for superior comfort, control and agility - specs that matches perfectly for the creative playmaker. Second generation of the hugely popular silo is now ready to be presented - being more advanced than ever before. The new Magista has been designed with a focus on how the foot would look and evolve, if the primary function was to play football. The boot has been designed in such a way that it amplifies the senses of your feet, to create a ball-to-brain interaction. The theory is that a stronger sense and ball-to-brain interaction, allows you to perform with more confidence and awareness on the pitch - without any distractions. Ultimately making you perform better.
The Magista is designed for the playmaker that launches the attacks with unstoppable passes, breaking the opponent's lines - leaving them unbalanced.

Updated Kanga-Lite upper for superior touch on the ball
Magista Opus II is designed with an updated version of the Kanga-Lite, that is water repellent synthetic material, that mimics the abilities of Kangaroo leather. The updated upper is engineered based on extensive research, testing and analysis from Nike. Their findings revealed the areas where the human foot is most touch sensitive, while also revealing the areas most used when playing. From the idea that the boot is to be an organic extension of the foot and the findings from Nike’s research, Nike created the updated Kanga-Lite upper. It features inner padding as well as an integrated dotted texture; highest elevations being 4,5 mm., specially engineered to activate your feets senses when in contact with the ball. This way a amplification of the senses should arise in the areas needed, to allow for a better sense, feel and touch on the ball. Combined with the friction created by the upper and the ball, this gives you the advantage when dribbling at high speed and doing quick turns, but also on passes and strikes. A semi-integrated tongue helps provide great lockdown, for a better more stable fit. The upper is coated with the All Conditions Control (ACC technology), to ensure great grip on the ball in all weather conditions.
Groundbreaking way of thinking is the foundation for a unique outsole
A conventional way of thinking, when talking about outsoles for a pair of football boots, has been flat form. But Nike realised that the problem was, that people’s feet was anything else but flat. As a logical consequence of this, Nike started working on the development of a new outsole plate, which follows the foots anatomy. By having an anatomic outsole which follows the foot, it reduces the gap, which existed on the sole, and offers a more natural fit and better lockdown.
Stud system designed for acceleration, deceleration and turns
As the playmaker in the modern edition of this beautiful game, much can be decided, if you can run and change directions quickly. Nike has designed a completely new stud system with help from an advanced computer system. Pressure points and the flow of power was mapped. So was different forms, patterns and compositions - all being thoroughly analyzed. Nike found the ideal combination, and the studs were placed at different place where grip was needed the most. The studs are angled so they work as claws during acceleration and quick turns. They work equally effective when decelerating, which makes it easy for you to stop and change direction when you want. On the front foot the sole has a Split-Toe function, which increases the foot’s flexibility in the boots, so you get an improved grip on the pitch. In combination with the front studs, that is designed to allow for 360 turns - you can do turns faster and sharper.
