Nike will receive advantage of the spotlight shining on TCU, Oregon and other BCS Bowl programs to debut its cutting edge?Air Zoom Alpha Talon cleat. The team in Beaverton pulled out all the stops for this new model, which boasts a wealth of performance technologies. The cleat’s name stems from the new Talon system on the underside, which brogue cleats that actually extend in to the playing surface when the wearer plants and cuts. Deflex padding around the collar helps reduce weight and improve breathability, while a Phylon midsole with Zoom Air offers cushioning like we’ve never experienced on a cleat. Look for this model on some of the NCAA’s marquee teams and maybe even select NFL players as they wrap up their respective seasons.
