Nike Mercurial Superfly Prototype Boots by Swoosh Customs
Has Swoosh Customs raised the design game to a whole new level? Instagram graphic designer @swooshcustoms72, who has already merged a ton of different football boots and non-football boots in the past, has finally created his first-ever own prototype of a football boot. And even though he has taken over the outsole of the Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots, the other parts of his Nike Superfly "Prototype" are a quite unique creation.
Nike Mercurial Superfly 'Prototype' by Swoosh Customs
This is the first-ever own soccer cleat Swoosh Customs' has created so far.
Drawing inspiration from Nike's American Football Boots, the Nike Mercurial Superfly Prototype Concept Boot by Swoosh Customs combines a high-ankle collar with an one-of-a-kind lacing system and special threads in the upper to create a boot that provides ultimate stability and lockdown, which quite obviously also results in 'ultimate speed'.
Similar to the blackout prototype boots worn by Nike's athletes in training sessions, the Nike Mercurial Superfly 'Prototype' Cleats by Swoosh Customs boast a stealth look that would stand out in a similar way as the blackout next-gen Adidas Ace Boots David Silva wore in two Premier League and one Champions League match in the past two weeks.
What do you think of the first-ever really own football boots Swoosh Customs has created? Let us know in the comments below, and then check out real prototypes in our Boot Calendar.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani attended Eid al-Adha prayers in the Bronx wearing a kurta based on Arsenal's 2025-26 away shirt. The longtime Arsenal supporter chose the traditional tunic for the Wednesday celebration.
The garment replicates the navy blue design with red lightning bolt patterns from the club's away kit and includes the Emirates Fly Better sponsor logo. Photographs of the outfit circulated widely on social media after the event.
Mamdani, who has supported Arsenal since childhood, combined his fandom with the Muslim holiday observance in the city he leads.
Gillingham 26-27 Away and Third Kits Released
League Two side Gillingham FC has officially revealed its new away and third kits for the upcoming 2026-2027 season. Produced by technical sponsor Macron, the dual launch offers fans two vastly different aesthetics, pairing a highly elegant, retro-inspired away strip with a bold and modern third option.
The new Macron Gillingham 26-27 away shirt introduces a classy and refined look for the club's travels. It features a cream base, anchored by a striking central vertical stripe in teal and green. Adding to the tailored aesthetic is a traditional teal polo collar adorned with blue and white trim, which perfectly matches the detailing on the sleeve cuffs.
In stark contrast, the Gillingham 26-27 third shirt embraces a loud, contemporary design. The alternate jersey is built on a black base that is completely covered by a vibrant purple marbled, liquid swirl graphic pattern. To ensure the branding stands out against the chaotic background, Macron has utilized a striking neon mint green for the manufacturer logo, the central sponsor, and the trim on both the modern V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs.
Which of these two new Gillingham 26-27 kits do you prefer - the classy cream away or the bold purple marbled third? Let us know in the comments below.
