Nike has just unveiled a new boot and program that is a pretty interesting way to combine a product, a service and a training aid. Sounds kinda crazy right? Check this out…

A unique user-code that comes with every pair of the boots allows access to exclusive training content from some of the biggest names in the game, including Cesc Fabregas of Arsenal and Andrés Iniesta of FC Barcelona.
