Nike teamed up with the Syracuse University men’s lacrosse team to launch the Nike Fast Break lacrosse uniform.
The Nike Fast Break uniform is Nike’s lightest lacrosse uniform, built to ensure that athletes don’t feel bogged down by their gear so that they can focus on the game at hand. The uniform has a sleeveless jersey for increased shoulder mobility
The jersey component is made from a four-way stretch woven fabric for increased freedom of movement. Cooling and breathability designs are integrated into high-temperature areas of the body such as the back, under-arms and the sides of the short to ensure that athletes don’t feel uncomfortably warm while in the thick of action.
The kit’s inner foundation consists of a ventilated navy blue Nike Pro Combat Hypercool SS Fitted Crew baselayer, which further enhances the kit’s breathability by allowing air to reach the athlete’s skin.
