Emre Can to Complete Nike Switch
Jan 17, 2016, by Pat
After wearing blacked-out Nike Mercurial Superfly IV boots for the last few weeks, it looks like Emre Can's switch to the Swoosh is close to being officialized.
Taking to the Liverpool training pitch to prepare for the Liverpool v Manchester United game later today, Emre Can laced up in a pair of standard Nike Mercurial Superfly cleats from the latest Liquid Chrome collection. Can, originally signed to Adidas and sporting the X, started wearing partially blacked-out Nike Mercurial Superfly boots, in fact based on the iconic 2014 Stealth Pack version, in late 2015.
Taking a closer look at Emre Can's Nike Mercurial Superfly IV boots, they look like the standard SG-Pro version, with no further modifications made in terms of adjusting the Dynamic Fit collar or similar. The only customization visible on the training pictures appears to be some sort of signature logo on the outside of the shoe.
Emre Can had been wearing Adidas boots, first the f50 and later the X, throughout his professional career. It now looks like this chapter is over and that he will officially join Nike.
Do you think the Nike Mercurial Superfly is a good fit for Emre Can? Let us know in the comments below.

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.
