The Nike Air Footscape Magista is a soccer boot that is breathable, lightweight and feels like an extension of your foot.
The Magista is designed for creative playmakers who find themselves operating in tight spaces and like their boot to feel like an extension of their foot. The idea is to give these creative geniuses a boot that makes you feel like you're not even wearing anything.
The boot has been available in Western Europe, China and Japan for a few weeks now, and is set to be made available in North America during Valentine's Day weekend.
This shoe goes to show how there's no limits to the extent to which you can specialize a product. Not satisfied with making soccer-specific boots, Nike is increasingly offering boots targeted towards different kinds of players.
