Arturo Vidal Trains in Unique Next-Gen Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots
FC Bayern Munich midfielder Arturo Vidal has become the next player to train in the next-gen Nike Mercurial Superfly 2016-2017 Football Boots after various players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Claudio Marchisio and Jesé Rodríguez were already spotted wearing the next-gen cleats in the past few weeks and months.
Arturo Vidal Tests Next-Gen Nike Mercurial Superfly 2016-2017 Boots
CLose-up pictures of Arturo Vidal's unique prototypes.
Boasting a blackout upper, Arturo Vidal's next-gen Nike Mercurial Superfly 2016-2017 Cleat is remarkably different to the boots worn by Marchisio and Jesé Rodríguez. First, the next-gen Nike Mercurial Superfly Arturo Vidal Edition comes with green studs in the rear that look to be from the Pure Platinum colorway of the next-gen Nike Mercurial Cleats (In fact, the complete sole plate seems to be from that paint job). Second, his boots looks much glossier in the heel area than the other prototypes worn by Nike's player (but this is, almost certain, just because of the sun + the angle the pictures was taken).
Apart from that, the Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots worn by Arturo Vidal seem to be nothing special and are very likely non-modified (but that's not possible to say with 100% clarity as there is just that one picture).

Adidas Teams Twinned by Product Code & Design
Update - Sunday, June 7, 2026: As spotted Indonesian jersey experts @Jerseyforum, Adidas teams with the same design also share the product. In particular, they do not have the usual Team + Shirt Type Name (e.g. FCB A 26 JSY), but are called Custom Licensed Jersey (CULIC26 JSY).
Templates are not as common as they were in the past, but smaller Adidas teams still do not have custom designs always. In the outgoing 25-26 season, teams such as Düsseldorf, Al Ahly, and Sparta Praha all used the same Locker Room design with custom colors.
