Competition
The Nike Vapor Untouchable main competition are the AdiZero 4.0s and the Under Armour Highlight MC cleats. The Vapor Untouchables give the athlete more comfort and support than both of it’s competitors. The Untouchables also give the athlete better grip and traction especially on turf.
Layman's terms
The Nike Vapor Untouchable is Nike’s newest and most advanced football cleat. It is a mid-top cleat that gives the athlete comfort and support, while being very light allowing the athlete to get off the ball at top speed.
History
The Nike Untouchable is Nike’s newest cleat so they don’t have a history really. Nike has released Soccer cleats with a similar design to the untouchables.
Future
Nike will release more colors for the Untouchables because right now they have only released a few colors. I anticipate that a new version of the cleat will be released as well.
Sold with
These cleats are sold with TV ads and are heavily promoted through Twitter and other social media accounts.
Product Company & competition
Nike is my product’s company. Nike’s main competition is Adidas and Under Armour.
Leader or Follower
My product is a market leader because there is no other football cleat with the same design or features. The cleat is for football but has the design and weight of a soccer cleat.
Trendsetter or Follower
My product is a definitely a trend setter because most football cleat don’t look like it. My product has a different texture than most football cleats and has the sock like top that give an athlete more comfort and support than any shoe on the market.
Target Market
My product’s Target market is mainly kids in High school and college who play football, but also any men who play football professionally.
Sales increase strategy
To increase the sales of my product I would heavily promote it on social media since my target market is kids who are in high school and college mostly all of them are on some social media account. I would also have some type of advertisement in the stores that my cleat is sold in.
What would you change?
For my product I would change the plate on the bottom of the cleat to chrome or metal instead of the plastic plate they have now. I think this would help the bottom of the shoe from melting especially on hot turf in Texas.
Why I chose this product?
I chose this product because it is Nike's newest and most advanced cleat and because these is no other cleat on this market like it.
Something Learned
I learned that my product is one of a kind and is the only football cleat with a sock like band.
