Collegiate lacrosse teams to don unique Nike uniforms

Playing for the title this weekend, UNC’s away look pairs a traditional Carolina blue shirt with a gray kilt. At home, the Tar Heels will wear white with Carolina blue accents. Syracuse goes navy with orange accents away, and white with orange accents when hosting.

Paying homage to the origins of the sport and the schools, each team’s uniform features a unique school-inspired pattern on the front of the jersey and a distinct Native American-inspired geometric, argyle pattern on the back. The pattern on the back speaks to the ancient game where players were often adorned with geometric patterns and designs before the game as appropriate embellishments for a deeply meaningful ritual. Each school features the same root design pattern in unique ways.

NIKE MEN’S HUARACHE IV LACROSSE CLEAT

Engineered to the exacting specifications of elite-level lacrosse athletes, the Nike Huarache IV Men’s Lacrosse cleat is built for explosive speed. An ultra-light upper combining synthetic leather and dynamic Nike Flywire technology delivers optimal midfoot support, ensuring the foot is locked down for quick lateral cuts. Similarly, the innovative sidewall shovel cleats enable seamless movement in all directions — a requirement for top-flight competition. A perfect mix of mid-foot cushioning and support from a ¾-length Phylon midsole paired with a low-profile forefoot provides an ultra-responsive ride.

The new Nike Huarache IV cleat colorways feature a premium grey nubuck material package, chrome outsole and team-specific “electric varsity” accents.

NIKE WOMEN’S SPEEDLAX IV LACROSSE CLEAT

To reach pinnacle performance, lacrosse athletes require flexibility and full range of motion. The Nike Women’s Speedlax IV combines a lightweight synthetic upper for comfort and durability and a dual-pull fit system for lockdown support.

Reducing the overall number of layers to the upper also functions to reduce weight and increase flexibility. The ¾-length Phylon midsole is paired with a low-profile forefoot for unmatched response and timing.

The new Nike Women’s Speedlax IV colorways feature team-specific “electric varsity” hues paired with grey accents and a chrome outsole.

NIKE VAPOR GAME SOCK

Both the men’s and women’s teams will also wear the Nike Vapor game sock, which combines cushioning, compression and structure precisely where needed.

The socks feature an advanced zonal cushioning system that helps relieve cleat pressure for maximum comfort, as well as Nike Pro Combat-inspired padding at the Achilles to provide a tight and comfortable feel articulated to the biomechanics of the heel.
