SPARQ Test Shoe


Once again Nike does an outstanding job in performance design and brings something revolutionary to the testing shoe market. The shoe is specifically designed for combine testing. For the athlete who is serious about his combine scores and SPARQ Rating.They have taken the design of a track spike, added a turf sole and stability on the lateral side. It's the ultimate performance test shoe, weighing only 8.9 oz, with primary traction elements, directional outsole, lateral outrigger for stability and a propulsion plate.

When we asked Nike about the design process and the hinking behind the SPARQ Test Shoe, they were clear in saying that this is Nike's way of continually making innovative products for football players. The shoe will be a fantastic piece of equipment for running a stellar 40, having the lateral stability to perform well in the pro-shuttle and the lightness to test the vertical.

The shoe is limited right now for athletes in the NFL Combine and Pro Days, but the retail version will be available in limited quantities in early May. I also heard that the shoe will be available for athletes testing at the Nike SPARQ Testing Combines. Check sparqtraining.com for updates and news.
