Soccer Cleats 101 Soccer Cleats News and Reviews
As we all know, the Nike Magista is set to replace the CTR360 Maestri line after three great versions of Nike’s signature control boot. I have personally been a huge fan of the Maestri line, and owned 4+ boots over the course of its lifetime. Due to my admiration, I felt it was necessary to send the Maestri line into boot heaven with a highlight of the best colors released over the boot’s lifetime. Check out my rankings, and feel free to comment with some of your favorites that I may have missed.
The top five in my mind are as follows.
CTR360 Maestri III- White/Blue
This one comes from the recent Nike Reflective Pack. This boot is still available to purchase from soccer.com. I added this color because the white-out effect looks great when combined with the light blue soleplate. The contrast of the two really makes the boot stand out.
CTR360 Maestri II- Red/White/Black
This colorway works together flawlessly. It comes in the time just before Nike decided only highlighter bright colors could be used, and the shiny-red color provides an awesome pantent leather look.
CTR360 Maestri II – Grey/Red/White
Honestly, I added this colorway in because it is still one I get to wear on occasion. I really like the white top and grey bottom on the upper.
CTR360 Maestri III- Black out special edition
I am a sucker for blackout colorways, and the way Nike sent of the Maestri with this colorway shows they know blackout is something special.
CTR360 Maestri I – 2010 World Cup edition
This has to be the most iconic colorway of the Maestri ever released. The silver and orange still pop up in my mind when I think of Iniesta in the World Cup final. I can only hope Nike has come up with something equally outstanding for next month’s World Cup in Brasil.
What did you think of the Maestri line as a whole? Do you see the Magista having the same kind of success? Feel free to share your opinions in the comments.
