Light Bone / Black Nike Mercurial Superfly Tech Craft 2016 Boots Released
Nike today unveiled the stunning Light Bone / Black Nike Mercurial Superfly Leather boot, part of the third Nike Tech Craft collection.
Nike first introduced its Tech Craft series in August 2015, putting a new kangaroo-leather coat onto the cutting-edge Nike Mercurial Superfly, as well as the Hypervenom and Magista soccer cleats. After the first follow-up featured striking "Canvas & Volt" paint jobs, the Nike leather pack returns to a more traditional look in 2016.
Nike Mercurial Superfly IV Leather - Light Bone / Black
This image shows the stunning grey / black Nike Mercurial Superfly Tech Craft k-leather football boot.
Combining two understated colors in Light Bone and black, Nike has created an instant classic in the first 2016 Mercurial Superfly leather soccer cleats. Boasting a strongly color-blocking design, the front leather part of the new Nike Mercurial Superfly k-leather football shoes is grey, while the underlying synthetic upper and Dynamic Fit collar are black.
Based on the standard Nike Mercurial Superfly IV boots, originally launched ahead of the 2014 World Cup, the Nike Mercurial Superfly Tech Craft boots add an extra layer of k-leather in the forefoot area. This is done in order to combine the superior touch of a leather football boot with the technological features of a high-end speed boot such as the Mercurial.
AVailable from March 1 in Nike's Football app and two days later at all retailers, the Light Bone Nike Mercurial Superfly Tech Craft boots retail at 290 Euro (290 USD, 250 GBP).
