Revolutionary? Introducing Concave's PowerStrike Technology
Mar 13, 2017, by Pat
- Concave Brand: Concave is a brand known for its unique approach to football boot design, not following typical trends.
- PowerStrike Technology: This technology is featured in all Concave boots and aims to improve shooting power and accuracy.
- Concave Design: The "concave" shape of the boot increases the contact area with the ball by featuring an area that bends inwards upon impact.
A brand that has been flying below the radar for quite some time certainly is Concave. Unlike a few other brands which might look up to the likes of Adidas and Nike for inspiration, it's fair to say that Concave has been doing its own thing, built on the foundation of its trademark PowerStrike technology. But what exactly is it? Let's find out.

Concave PowerStrike Technology
Concave recently released a brand-new video showcasing said technology, and you can watch it above. In short, the PowerStrike construction, which is a feature on all of the brand's football boots, aims to offer more power and accuracy when shooting.
The mean to achieve this is to make sure that the area which strikes the round shape that is the ball is the largest possible. Instead of the way standard football boots shape around the foot, Concave's PowerStrike features a small part that bends inwards when connecting with the ball.
As you'll know if you paid attention to maths at school, such a shape is called "concave", which is of course the name of this whole brand.
PowerStrike technology is available in all of Concave latest football boots, namely the Aura, Halo and Volt, which you can purchase via the link below.

Nike to Sell Long-Sleeve Besiktas Kits From 27-28 Season
Nike is set to introduce commercially available long-sleeve kits for Beşiktaş starting from the 27-28 season. Following the club's major switch from Adidas after 17 years, supporters will finally have direct access to official long-sleeve match jerseys at retail. Big thanks to @ertansuzgun & @Formaholic.
The timing aligns with significant milestone celebrations in Istanbul, as Nike is also planning a special 125th-anniversary collection for Beşiktaş during the 27-28 campaign to mark the club's foundation in 1903. Rather than relying on base layers and compression undershirts, players and fans alike will see dedicated long-sleeve designs included in the lineup.
The development forms part of Nike's wider strategy to bring back commercial long-sleeve authentic shirts across its elite roster from 27-28 onwards. By expanding long-sleeve availability to Beşiktaş, Nike closes the gap on rivals like Adidas and provides the Black Eagles with full top-tier treatment under their new partnership.
