You could be forgiven for mistaking Nike’s latest offering for an advanced cyborg assassin, sent back through time to kill John Connor, leader of the human resistance against the machines.

And although the Total 90 Laser II claims to take shooting to the next level, it’s not a Terminator – in an actual killing sense anyway.

But hopefully it will help you destroy defences on a Sunday morning. Building on the success of the T90 Laser, the upgrade has been designed to improve accuracy.

Greats news for the greenhouses of Britain. To help you take your game to the next level, Nike’s boot boffins joined forces with Wayne Rooney and Fernando Torres.

The deadly duo helped push those ever-present ‘technological boundaries’ to improve accuracy even further.

Conspiracy theorists will be having a field day. If ever there were a pair of candidates for artificially intelligent goal machines, these two would be the main suspects.

The precision rings that provided the T90 Laser boot with the ‘sweet spot’ have been increased on the T90 Laser II, improving shooting and accuracy, whilst the enhanced shotshield technology on the front of the boot provides cleaner ball contact and superior control.

Are they sure this boot wasn’t designed for war? A new high-density outsole component has been installed to support and stabilize the planted foot when kicking the ball.

The boot also boasts individually engineered hybrid studs that increase traction and comfort. In theory, this should provide you with better balance and increased speed.

Sadly this technology is not hangover-proof. Through your bleary-eyed beer goggles you’ll be lacing up your boots with an integrated V-twin (offset) lacing system that maximizes the strike zone.

And if the pitch is waterlogged – which, let’s face it, is more than likely – the T90 Laser II’s water resistant eVent membrane will enhance breathability and keep the foot dry.

The T90 Laser II is worn by Wayne Rooney, Fernando Torres, William Gallas, Rio Ferdinand, Florent Malouda and Fabio Cannavaro.
