Product description
The England national team, also called The Three Lions, is with their Scottish neighbours one of the oldest national teams in the world. Back in 1872 these two national teams played in friendly, which also is the first official international football match. A lot has happened since then and this summer England is going to participate in their ninth Euro cup. The team have never won the tournament before and their best placement was third place back in 1968, where players such as Bobby More, Gordon Banks and Sir Bobby Charlton were a part of the team. In 1996 England also reached the semifinal with players such as Tony Adams, Paul Gascoigne and the tournament top scorer Alan Shearer on the team. Now the year is 2016 and Euro is held in France. Here the English national team, under guidance of Roy Hodgson, once again have a chance of winning their first ever Euro cup.

AeroSwift technology
AeroSwift technology is made from a combination of single and double knitted yarn. The shorts are single knitted in the areas where you need breathability the most and double knitted the areas where you need a more stronger structure. The construction method is so detailed, that the ventilations holes are directly implemented in the shorts from the beginning. The yarn has a textured upper and is also rich, which makes Nike able to use less yarn without the risk of the being transparent. As a result the Vapor shorts with AeroSwift technology are 10% lighter, 50% more stretch and dries 25% quicker than the earlier shorts. The new yarn also have a brushed quality, which makes it very comfortable against the skin.
Nike Dri-FIT
The shorts is made with Nike's Dri-FIT material. The Dri-FIT material is a breathable, quick drying lightweight material, that wicks sweat and moisture away from the body, so you always are kept dry and comfortable. It works by distributing sweat and moisture equally around the material and thereby increasing the body's natural chilling system. The shorts has mesh stripes, which runs along the side of the shorts. The mesh stripes are elastic and will expand when the player is in motion, and thereby the air ventilation will increase.
