With EURO 2012 seemingly just around the corner now, Sport-locker.net bring you yet another football kit release ahead of the summer – the Nike France Away Kit! 

The new France away kit represents their natural style and elegance by featuring iconic details and designs from French fashion. 

The new away shirt has a classic white body with seven thin obsidian blue stripes on the cuff of each sleeve to represent the iconic French design of the mariniere. 

The shirt’s constructed collar also seeks to echo French style with a long placket and a bonded tape around the edge of the collars. 

The fabric is also up to 23% lighter than the version four years ago. Embedded with Nike Dri-FIT technology, the kits help to regulate players temperatures on the pitch by removing sweat from the body to keep them dry and cool faster than ever before.  

Laser-cut ventilation on the shirt promotes localised cooling where athletes need it most to remain focused on the game.  

A new double knit structure and yarns also makes this kit 20% stronger, with no compromise to fit and feel with natural cotton added for comfort. 

Inside the back of the neck is the message ‘Nos differences nous unissent’ (Our differences unite us), which proudly celebrates Modern day multi-cultural France and their diverse population. 

The away shorts are white with a tonal print of the mariniere in a panel on each side, and the away socks, now with improved cushioning for greater comfort, movement and protection, are also white.

The base layer apparel includes the Nike Pro Combat Hyperstrong shorts and Nike Pro Combat Hypercool 2.0 top.

Both combine with the kit as the modern uniform of dress for football. The Nike Pro Combat Hyperstrong compression men’s slider shorts provide added support featuring padded waist and thigh protection in the most critical areas so players can train and tackle with confidence, while mesh fabric is placed in the high heat zones for breathability.  

The Nike Pro Combat Hypercool 2.0 top delivers ventilation and sweat-wicking fabric to help keep athletes cool and comfortable during practice and match play.

In line with Nike’s commitment to superior athletic performance and lower environmental impact, the fabric of the new kit’s shorts is made with 100% recycled polyester, while the fabric of the shirts is made with at least 96% recycled polyester.  Each kit is made using an average of 13 recycled plastic bottles.
