Nike presents the new French Football Kit

19/01/2011
On 19 January, Nike announced, at the Espace Cambon, that it is forming a partnership with the French Football Federation, where they revealed the new team kits. The kit conflates a mixture of French style and Nike product innovation, which aims to maximize performance and minimize the environmental costs. The aim of Nike’s Considered Design is to reduce waste throughout the design and development process, use environmentally preferred materials, and eliminate toxics.
 
The design features Nike Dri-FIT technology, which engineers ventilation systems to help keep players cool. According to Nike, it is their most environmentally sustainable kit to date. The shirt and shorts are made from micro-fibre polyester that is derived entirely from recycled plastic bottles. For the shirt, this material is combined with organic cotton (96% recycled polyester, 4% organic cotton).

The new France kit will be worn for the first time in the game against Brasil at Stade de France on 9 February. The new kit and the Nike Sportswear FFF product will be available at retail from 5 February.
