Product description
Your shin pads are an important tool, as they protect you from injuries. At the same time, shin pads are known to sometimes hinder and weigh you down a bit when you dribble, tackle or strike the ball. Therefore, Nike are now trying now to eliminate these disadvantages, and they do this with the revolutionary and innovative Mercurial FlyLite Guard.
Mercurial Flylite Guard is created without the usual foam layer on the back. Instead it is equipped with a Web-like shock system, created with a 3D printing technology. This element is designed to distribute the power of the kicks and knocks better, across the entire shin pad. This provides a more consistent protection, as the shin pad is better equipped to absorb the many kicks and knocks you get during a football match.
The 3D printing technology used to create the shin pad has given Nike the possibility of removing materials from the shin pad. The result is a lighter and more flexible shin pad which has a fit unlike anything ever created before.
Flylite Guard is, of course, anatomically correct, so you have a shin pad that fits perfectly, respectively to your right and left leg.
Not only does the "granular" design of the shin pad provide an optimal fit, the design also helps to increase comfort. The design provides a better distribution of air, and thus better ventilation. This removes a major irritant and makes the shin pads incredibly comfortable to wear in hot weather conditions.
To ensure that they are not moving around on the leg, they can be placed in the shin socks included, that keep the shins where you want them.
