NIKE VAPOR LASER TALON

By Lee King

March 5, 2013

The Nike Vapor Laser Talon Football Cleat is the first cleat to use 3D printing in its manufacturing. Specifically made for the NFL combine 40 yard dash, the Nike Vapor Laser Talon ($TBA) provides a 3D printed plate that allows athletes to stay in the drive position longer and thus allowing them to accelerate faster during the first 10 yards. There is currently no date on when these shoes will be released to the public, but you can use the time to work on your 40.

About Lee King

I live in a great city outside of Philadelphia and run Muted in my free time. Being close to a number of large metropolitan areas gives me a lot of inspiration for menswear and gear. Originally from Pittsburgh as well as a Suburban Detroit transplant I went to Michigan State University and spent most of my career managing global IT services for Pharmaceuticals. Besides mens clothing I enjoy, bonsai, my family, dogs and hanging by the pool.
