REVIEW: NIKE TIEMPO LEGEND IV ELITE FOOTBALL BOOTS
The Nike Tiempo Legend IV Elite football boots offer players with a new rich touch and feel like never before. The Tiempo Legend IV Elite is a leap forward for Nike in terms of Tiempo design. It is a boot built around tradition but also features significant updates to suit the modern game.
Nike Flywire technology has been introduced to the Tiempo for the first time to add strength and suppleness to the boots. The Flywire threads have been bonded to the leather to ensure that touch is not sacrificed. The Flywire technology also reduces the layers of construction on the upper to keep the Tiempo soft.
A key feature of the Nike Tiempo Legend IV Elite football boots is the vamp stitching on the upper which provides players with the soft touch and feel they require during the game. The new diagonal stitching prevents the boot from over stretching while the minimal stitched area at the front of the boot creates a clean surface for great touch.
Another key change made to the Tiempo Legend IV Elite is the heel design. The coloured diagonal heel stripes have been designed to increase visibility to enhance your teammates peripheral vision towards the shoe. The carbon fibre sole unit reduces the weight of the Tiempo to make it more responsive and ensure players will experience greater performance on the field.
The Nike Tiempo Legend IV Elite football boots are now available at Sportsmart. You can view the Nike Tiempo Legend IV Elite football boots online or visit your nearest Sportsmart store to try a pair on for yourself.
REVIEW – NIKE VAPOR SUPERFLY III FOOTBALL BOOTS
The Nike Vapor Superfly III football boots feature a new lightning heel graphic to increase visibility when a split second decision needs to be made. The pressure activated Nike sense technology adjusts stud length according to the surface you are playing on for enhanced traction.
The innovative flywire technology offers an ultra light and dynamic fit that adjusts to the individual shape of your foot. The dual density heel studs help deliver you with the rock solid stability you need during the game. The Nike Vapor traction system allows for effortless cutting and instant acceleration.
For instant bursts of speed, the boot also has toe-off traction in the forefoot. Nike worked closely with athletes including Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic throughout the design process to create a boot that enables toe off acceleration and minimises slippage in game changing situations.
The Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly III football boots are now available at Sportsmart. You can view the Nike Vapor Superfly III football boots online or visit our stores to try a pair on for yourself.
REVIEW: NIKE LUNARFLY+ 2 RUNNING SHOES
The Nike Lunarfly+ 2 provides runners with stable ride and plush cushioning. The new and improved Lunarfly+ 2 is also a better fit for runners as well as being more bold and modern looking. Targeted overlays boost support and durability at the key zones.
The runners are beneficial for those who are underpronators to mild overpronators. The Nike Lunarfly+ 2 running shoe has a more robust heel counter than the previous model for an improved fit around the heel. Inside the breathable mesh upper is an inner sleeve which wraps around the foot for a snug, breathable feel and makes it easier for you to put your runners on and take them off.
The Lunarion cushioning system is made up of a soft yet resilient foam encased within a supportive foam for extra cushioning, a springy response and support. The targeted overlays boost support and durability at the key zones while the deep flex grooves promote a naturally efficient stride.
The brand new Nike Lunarfly+ 2 running shoes are now available at Sportsmart as part of our new Performance Lifestyle range of footwear. You can view the Nike Lunarfly+ 2 running shoes on the Sportsmart website or visit our stores to try a pair on for yourself.
REVIEW – ASICS GEL KAYANO 17 RUNNING SHOES
The Asics Gel Kayano 17 running shoes are extremely popular and provide runners with a smooth and supportive ride from heel contact to toe off. They are the lightest Kayano to date with most of the weight being in the heel. The front of the shoe is less dense, making for a cushioned stride.
In addition, the off centre laces are designed to fit your foot and avoid irritation. Asics have extended the Guidance Line to the full length of the shoe which results in improved responsiveness and gait efficiency. What this means for runners is that the shoe feels very connected to the foot and the rest of the body.
The Assymetrical Lacing on the Asics Gel Kayano 17’s is unique. If in the past you have found that the upper part of your foot has felt compressed or pinched by your laces, you will find with these shoes that this discomfort is a thing of the past.
The Asics Gel Kayano 17 running shoes are available at Sportsmart. You can view them online or visit our stores to try a pair on for yourself.

HOW TO GET READY FOR THE CRICKET SEASON
Spring has just arrived and that means pre season cricket training has begun. Using our guide we will help you prepare for the cricket season and make the most of this critical period.
Begin by setting some goals. A big part of success in cricket is knowing what success looks like and planning how you are going to get there. They don’t need to be complicated, simply write down a few goals you have for the coming season. Once you have your goals, plan what you need to do to achieve them. For example, if you want to be fitter than your goal might be to do fitness training three times a week until the season starts.
Find a training buddy, fitness training can be hard to get motivated for sometimes. Find someone on your team who also wants to improve and motivate each other to do so. You must also remember to learn to relax and not get too worried about your performance.
Balance your training, if you just have nets you will not improve as fast as if you combine nets with drills, bowling machines, practice games and fitness work. You can talk to your captain as they will also be forming their own plans for the season soon. Talk to them and find out what he wants from you this year.
It is also important to assess your cricket equipment. Make sure that you have the best equipment possible as it is key to performing your best in cricket. Sportsmart has a variety of cricket footwear, cricket bats, cricket gloves, cricket pads and other cricket accessories. You can view our cricket range online or visit our stores to see our cricket range for yourself.
