Marchisio Again Shows Off Blackout Next-Gen Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots
Jan 2, 2016, by Chris
Update 02/01/16: Claudio Marchisio has returned to Juventus' training after the Christmas break wearing a blackout version of the next-gen Nike Mercurial Superfly. He became the second Juventus player to train in the next-generation Nike Mercurial Superfly Soccer Boots in early December 2015.
Set to be released ahead of the Euro 2016 in France, the fifth generation of the Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots boast a similar look as the current generation of the boots (at least at first glance). So let's get straight into the close-up pictures of the blackout boots worn by Claudio Marchisio to find out what distinguishes the next-gen Nike Mercurial Superfly from the previous generation.

Featuring the almost exactly design as the blackout boots worn by Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo almost two months ago, the blackout boots used by Claudio Marchisio most remarkably come with an external heel counter. They also feature the striking lines structure on the upper, while the only difference to Cristiano's boots is the height of the trademark Dynamic Fit collar.
Whereas Cristiano Ronaldo's version of the blackout Nike Mercurial Superfly 2016-2017 Boots boasted a lower Dynamic Fit collar, especially made to meet the exact needs of the Portuguese superstar, Claudio Marchisio's Nike Mercurial Superfly Prototype Boots come with a much higher collar. In fact, it's actually certain that the same collar will be also used for the final retail version of the boot.
Cristiano Ronaldo and since then only two Juventus players. Have you spotted any other players who are not so close to Nike's small and exclusive factory in Montebelluna wearing the next-gen Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots? Let us know in the comments below.

Spanish side FC Cartagena and Macron have officially launched their new away kit for the 26-27 season, paying homage to the city's rich three-thousand-year heritage. Draped in traditional carmesí red, the jersey is decorated with an intricate all-over graphic pattern inspired by an ancient Roman mosaic uncovered in the crypt beneath the Catedral de Santa María la Vieja. Elegant gold detailing highlights the monochrome crest, collar trim, sleeve cuffs, and sponsor emblems, completed by the Latin motto Carthago Nova Invicta Est subtly sublimated onto the lower hem.
Nike to Sell Long-Sleeve Besiktas Kits From 27-28 Season
Nike is set to introduce commercially available long-sleeve kits for Beşiktaş starting from the 27-28 season. Following the club's major switch from Adidas after 17 years, supporters will finally have direct access to official long-sleeve match jerseys at retail. Big thanks to @ertansuzgun & @Formaholic.
The timing aligns with significant milestone celebrations in Istanbul, as Nike is also planning a special 125th-anniversary collection for Beşiktaş during the 27-28 campaign to mark the club's foundation in 1903. Rather than relying on base layers and compression undershirts, players and fans alike will see dedicated long-sleeve designs included in the lineup.
The development forms part of Nike's wider strategy to bring back commercial long-sleeve authentic shirts across its elite roster from 27-28 onwards. By expanding long-sleeve availability to Beşiktaş, Nike closes the gap on rivals like Adidas and provides the Black Eagles with full top-tier treatment under their new partnership.
