About Nike
Nike was founded on 25 January 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports by Bill Bowerman, the University of Oregon track and field coach, and Phil Knight, one of his former athletes. The company officially became Nike, Inc. on 30 May 1971, taking its name from Nike, the Greek goddess of victory. Nike's world headquarters are in Oregon, in Washington County near the city of Beaverton, and the brand now supplies cleats, gloves and balls for American football.
Nike products in our catalogue
Nike appears on AFG in three categories: cleats, gloves and balls.
Cleats
- Vapor Edge 360 Untouchable (Vapor line): 360° Flyknit upper with a NikeSkin coating, Vapor Edge 360 plate and full-length internal plate. According to Nike, it draws on the 2015 Untouchable.
- Force Savage Pro 2 (Force Savage line): synthetic leather upper with moulded overlays, hook-and-loop ankle strap and pods that wrap the heel. Nike describes it as “made for the front line”.
Gloves
- Vapor Jet 9.0 (Vapor Jet line): Magnigrip+ palm to secure catches, redesigned wrist, silicone overlays that keep the fingers aligned and a perforated back of the hand.
Balls
- Championship: leather game ball with a pebbled texture and suede laces, NFHS compliant according to Nike, in the official size 9.
How to choose among Nike products
For cleats, position is the first consideration. The Force Savage Pro 2 is aimed at linemen, who need support and stability in contact. The Vapor Edge 360 Untouchable puts the emphasis on traction: Nike claims 360-degree grip for sudden stops and spaced studs for changes of direction.
For gloves, the Vapor Jet 9.0 sits in our receiver gloves: its grippy palm is aimed first at players who catch the ball. Measure hand circumference across the knuckles and hand length before choosing a size, from S to 3XL.
For the ball, size 9, as used by the Championship, is the size Nike recommends from age 14, for high school, college and pro level.
