Football season is in full bloom, as the NFL opens up its season this Thursday with the New England Patriots facing off against the Pittsburgh Steelers. And guess what America? Tom Brady will in fact be taking the field with inflated footballs much to the ire of Roger Goodell and company, and hopefully actual football games serve as a little distraction to the ongoing deflategate talk. Nike is getting New England fans ready with this new premium Nike Lunar Force 1 Low in a smooth black leather upper accompanied by that lightweight midsole, icy outsole, and just a touch of Patriot colors for accents. The tongue logo prominently displays the four Super Bowl trophies and the Patriot logo in what the franchise is marketing as a ‘chance to walk in Robert Kraft’s shoes‘ due to the lace dubraes featuring the man’s initials. And while we doubt the 74 year owner will be rocking these, the pair does serve as a landmark to Nike’s ability to continue to roll out official NFL merchandise. All pairs sold will go to benefit Boys&GIrls clubs in Boston too. Check out more photos below and if you roll with the Pats like that, grab the pair directly from the team’s shop this Wednesday, from select Nike Boston shops on Thursday morning, and from official Nike retailers this coming Friday for $150.
