Premier League's first snow ball
An orange version of the Nike Hi-Vis
October 25th, 2022
The seasons change, and consequently so do the balls that run on the increasingly icy lawns. Yesterday, in fact, Nike introduced the new models that will accompany the coldest part of the Premier League, and there was a big news. For the first time, an orange ball was made expressly for playing in sleet and rainy conditions, making it more visible than the classic in yellow. After it was first announced last year and then shelved, in the 2022/23 season English players will finally be able to see what they are kicking on Stoke's frosty nights.
The model of the Aerowsculpt ball remains faithful to the design chosen at the beginning of the season by Nike, recovering the style of those used in the early 1990s and thus celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Premier League. A concept that thus holds together innovation and tradition, and a smidgen more visibility than in past seasons.
