The Nike Maxim ball, which will be used in all 2012/13 Barclays Premier League fixtures, as well as Spain’s La Liga and Italy’s Serie A, is being touted as “the world’s best football”.

According to Nike, it features design and performance innovation that offers great responsiveness, touch and stable ball flight for accurate passing and striking.

You may have already seen the ball in Nike’s new My Time Is Now campaign, which features a roster of the world’s best players and celebrates the hunger and impatience of young players ready to tear up the rule book to make their mark in football’s elite ranks.

The Maxim features Nike RaDaR (Rapid Decision and Response) technology, a lab and field-tested standard of visual performance that will allow players to see the ball better and capitalise on split-second scoring and passing opportunities.

The bold geometric graphic generates strong visual power with crisp edges for

players to pick up on during play. Optimal use of bright colors and sharp contrast allows the ball to be more visible.

To maximize performance, a five-layer construction guarantees an optimal first touch, while a 360-degree sweet spot makes for consistent response off the foot.

The Geo II Balanced Technology – an aerodynamic textured casing – delivers an accurate and powerful strike, no matter where you hit the ball.
