Everton's Besic Debuts Unique Modified Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots
Jan 8, 2016, by Chris
Yet another player who cut off the sock-like collar of Nike's high-cut football boots. Everton midfielder Muhamed Bešić , who previously laced up in Adidas X Boots, debuted a cut-off version of the Nike Mercurial Superfly Cleats in the Premier League match against Tottenham on January 3. And while his boots back then already caught the eyes of many, his one-of-a-kind boots became one of the most-talked topics in the boot world after Everton's Carling Cup victory against Man City on Wednesday.
Muhamed Bešić Laces Up in Cut-Off Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots

Based on the Laser Orange Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots (Released in September 2014), Besic's customized version of the orange, white and black cleats comes with the flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina on the outstep. Interestingly, Besic also uses custom laces that are thicker than the laces of the regular edition of the speed boots. However, the most remarkable part is definitely the lower Dynamic Fit collar.
Whereas the standard edition of the Nike Mercurial Superfly 4 Football Boots comes with an remarkably high sock-like collar, Besic's modified version features a cut-off collar that is not only lower, but also features a unique shape that becomes higher around the rear area. Apart from all these modifications, Bešić's boots are the same as the regular edition of the Nike Mercurial Superfly.

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.
