AFF 2012 Official Ball

Hitting the pitch, Nike Maxim Hi-Vis ball makes its Southeast Asian debut at the AFF Suzuki Cup 2012. The 2012-2013 Maxim Hi-Vis retains the same features and tech specs as the ‘standard’ Maxim. The ball features a color combination blended together in a unique way to create maximum visual performance and contrast on the pitch.

With a base colour of ultra-bright yellow, the Nike Maxim Hi-Vis ads contrasts with segments of purple, cyan and magenta to create a distinctive geometric graphic that creates a strong 'flicker' effect to improve sight of the ball under floodlights or in low-light conditions. In addition to the Hi-Vis innovations, the Maxim features geometric precision technology to distribute pressure evenly across the panels for a consistent, accurate and powerful strike.

The Hi-Vis ball also features NIKE RaDaR (Rapid Decision and Response) technology to allow players to see the ball better and capitalize on split second scoring and passing opportunities.In addition to the Hi-Vis innovations, the Maxim features geometric precision technology to distribute pressure evenly across the panels for a consistent, accurate and powerful strike.

Additional performance enhancing innovations include:

- Hand-stitched casing for craftsmanship and durability
- Durable, lightweight PU casing with micro-grooves stabilizes ball flight to increase efficiency and accuracy
- Flexible, supple, cross-linked nitrogen-expanded foam provides superior “touch” and a consistent feel in all weather conditions
- Engineered rubber response layer helps store energy from impact and releases it at launch for enhanced power and speed
- A layer of polyester support fabric enhances the structure and stability of the ball for long-term performance and durability
