This
season’s FA Cup will be played with the latest in football technology as Nike
introduces into the competition the Incyte Ball – the brand's most
technologically advanced football to-date.
The
mango colored Nike Incyte Ball will be used in all FA Cup matches for the
2013-14 season. The exclusive colorway enhances visibility and incorporates
graphics to generate maximum visual contrast in-flight helping athletes see the
ball earlier, react faster and make split-second game changing decisions.
Continuing
the tradition of making the most technologically advanced footballs in the
game, the Nike Incyte Ball features performance innovations that increase
reaction, touch and ball flight:
·
A
high-elasticity layer on the surface allows for a cleaner strike and helps the
ball travel with more speed. The micro-textured casing also delivers a more
accurate ball trajectory than seen before.
·
Five-layer
construction optimizes the feel of that all-important first touch, allowing the
athlete to bring the ball under control quickly and with ease.
·
Nike
RaDaR (Rapid Decision and Response) technology maximizes the ball’s visibility
allowing players to see the ball earlier and react faster.
The
Nike Incyte Ball will make its debut in the FA Cup First Round Proper on Nov. 8
and is available for purchase beginning December 1.
