Light Bone / Black Nike Mercurial Superfly Tech Craft 2016 Boots Released
Feb 29, 2016, by Pat
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

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).

Nottingham Forest Women Wear Training Tops vs Southampton to Avoid Color Blindness Clash
In an unusual kit occurrence, Nottingham Forest Women took to the pitch wearing training tops instead of their official 26-27 away kit during their match against Southampton Women at St Mary's Stadium on Sunday. The late switch was implemented specifically to avoid color blindness visibility issues that would have arisen from a red-versus-green clash. Huge thanks to @david_g_cooper for the spot.
With Southampton wearing their traditional red-and-white home kit, Nottingham Forest's primary alternative option - their green 26-27 away shirt - posed a serious dilemma. Red and green kit pairings are strictly discouraged by governing bodies and accessibility guidelines because they become indistinguishable to individuals with red-green color vision deficiency, which affects roughly 8% of men and 0.5% of women.
Since Nottingham Forest's home shirt is also red, the club resorted to dark training gear with match numbers applied on the back to provide adequate contrast for players, referees, and spectators.
Forest could have worn their light blue kit, but apparently they did not bring it.
Dominik Szoboszlai Reveals Nike Air Max 95 'Liverpool'
Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai has officially debuted the upcoming Nike Air Max 95 'Liverpool', a special-edition release designed in partnership with JD Sports ahead of their annual 1.10 Day celebration. Deeply rooted in local street culture, where the model has long been nicknamed the '110' after its original UK retail price, the sneaker is packed with bespoke details paying tribute to Merseyside. The shoe features mismatched accents of dockland-inspired 'Rust Factor' orange alongside 'Steam' green referencing the city's Liver Birds, complemented by a reflective brick pattern, a River Mersey map printed across the insole, a custom 'Liverpool' tongue badge, and 'SCOUSE' lettering visible beneath the outsole.
