PHOTOS: Nike unveils match balls for England, Spain, and Italy
The Nike Ordem 3 will grace football pitches in Europe's biggest leagues this upcoming season, after Nike unveiled its newest creation Tuesday.
The official ball that will determine winners and losers in the Barclays Premier League, La Liga BBVA, and Serie A comes with the distinction of being the most advanced football ever made, according to Nike.
The American sports company outlined the details of the ball, which is set to hit stores July 1:
Nike Football’s pinnacle proprietary aerodynamic technology, Nike Aerowtrac grooves, designed to provide an accurate and stable flight by helping ensure a steady flow of air across the ball no matter what speed it is moving at.
A geometric 12-panel design enhances the Ordem 3’s flight, whilst pressure is distributed evenly across the ball. The result is a consistent, accurate and powerful feel, with the first touch optimized by a fuse-welded synthetic leather casing.
