The latest Nike Mercurial Superfly II Football Boots are a supercharged
release, set to explode onto football pitches at the start of the new domestic seasons. Now on their (delayed) European launch, the SoccerBible shares the full and exclusive images!
OK, so we know you've probably already seen these as plenty of images have been floating around cyberspace for months now - but sometimes a cameraphone shot just can't do a boot justice! Here at the SoccerBible we like to get you up close and personal with the latest boots, so check out our full gallery of Vapor Superfly II photos for the latest colourway out of the Nike factory - Bright Cactus/White/Anthracite.
With all the peripheral-vision claims of the Nike Elite Series World Cup pack, these Superfly II boots go back to what Nike does best - bold, loud and eye-catching colours. The Bright Cactus and Anthracite (Grey) mix, coupled with those vibrant orange studs, is sure to make any Mercurial player stand out on pitch. You just have to decide whether that's a good or bad thing for your game.
Nike designers created a Mercurial football boot
that provides new levels of performance with nearly four years of game
analysis, biomechanical studies and player testing. The new Cactus coloured Elite
Nike Vapor Superfly II football boots feature a stronger and tougher performance
upper to improve on-field visibility and a re-engineered outsole to
deliver lightweight performance for the world's Elite players.
The Nike
Elite Mercurial Superfly II football boots maintain the desired
close fit around the foot without compromising on durability or support.
Next-generation Nike Flywire technology incorporated into the boot’s
streamlined upper provides the unique lightweight, strong and more
dynamic fit.
The major innovation for the Superfly II football boots was the
development of the Nike Sense adaptive traction technology. Current in
the Elite
Superfly II football boots, designers created an adaptive stud that
can extend and retract by up to 3mm, based on ground conditions and
pressure exerted by the player.
This new release Superfly continues with the SenseStud design, even though the professional elite seem unconvinced of the studs advantages yet (see: Cristiano Ronaldo).
The explosive Nike
Elite Mercurial Vapor Superfly II football boots are the fastest,
most innovative and technologically advanced football boots to hit the
pitch. Whilst they've already been available to pre-order in North America, now the European release of the Nike
Elite football boots means we'll be able to start pre-ordering our pair now, for an expected early August release.
Of course, there is no let up in the pricing structure of the Elite
editions and these boots continue to retail for around £275
GBP / $400 USD a pair
when they hit selected stores and Nike stores.
