Nike is taking its forty years of experience and innovation to create the first ever football cleat built using 3D printing technology.

Nike Football debuted the Nike Vapor Laser Talon. The plate of the cleat is 3D printed using Selective Laser Sintering technology (SLS). The shoe weighs only 5.6oz and is designed to provide optimal traction on the football turf. This should help athletes excel in the 40-yard dash although I can’t pretend to be an expert in American football. I am however, more than half way through season one of Friday Night Lights. give me another few weeks and the next few seasons and I should be up to speed.
