Following the completion of the recent World Cup 2010, I was browsing through some archived Nike commercials and spotted this particular one which bears the true grit of soccer but described in an "imaginative" setting.
You may have seen this some time back, so here's another flashback!
(In case you're wondering what's the sountrack used, it's sung by the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, "A Little Less Conversation")

Nike Soccer Balls
If you are in the market for a Nike soccer ball, there are several things that you will want to keep in mind. First, you can purchase a cheap, all purpose Nike soccer ball, or a professional ball. The primary difference between these two types of balls in the technology used to craft them. The standard, cheap Nike soccer ball which utilises the classic soccer ball design, can be used on all types of turf and terrain, and will usually cost you between ten to twenty dollars. There are even some models available that cost less than ten dollars!
The professional level Nike soccer ball is in a league all of its own.
With prices starting at fifty dollars and going up from there, these balls use stronger materials to handle extra abuse while maintaining shape and balance. This lets these types of Nike soccer balls dominate the market. Due to the higher quality materials and the way the inside bladders are formed, a professional Nike soccer ball can be kicked further and more accurately, making them an optimal choice for those who take their soccer game seriously.
A professional Nike soccer ball, like the Total 90 Omni, make use of special cover stocks that optimize the energy used in kicking and passing the ball. By doing so, the ball retains it shape better when kicked, which is what directly affects the accuracy of the ball. Cheaper balls that tend to lose their shape when kicked are much harder to control.
When you decide to purchase your Nike soccer ball, you will need to decide what type of ball you want. There is little in the way of middle ground between the common, inexpensive balls and the professional quality balls, although there are a few. However, if you are intending on buying a Nike soccer ball that is higher quality than the cheaper balls you can buy at most stores, you should consider spending the few extra bucks on the full professional quality ball. The balls in the middle ground try to emulate the professional balls using cheaper materials, which often results in a barely satisfactory ball. IT is for this reason that Nike does not offer many balls that fit into this category.
There are many places that you can buy a Nike soccer ball. You can purchase them online or at a sports good store in your local area. You can also acquire them used from sports institutions that sell off the older balls. However, these balls tend to have seen a lot of use, and are usually only good as a basic practice ball.
