Next-Gen Nike Mercurial X 2016-2017 Boots Leaked
Feb 3, 2016, by Chris
The second generation of the Nike Mercurial Finale Football Shoes only introduce few upgrades for the cutting-edge speed indoor, street and turf football shoe. The next-gen Nike Mercurial X Finale 2016 Football Boot will be launched with the same colorway as the next-gen Nike Mercurial Superfly Euro 2016 Boots (Hyper Crimson / Volt / Black - May 2016 - The first leaked pictures show a later paint job).
Next-Gen Nike Mercurial X Finale II Black / Pink Blast
This is the second-gen Nike Mercurial X Finale Soccer Shoe.
Boasting a similar design as the Black and Pink Blast Nike Mercurial Superfly 2016-2017 Boots, the next-gen Nike Mercurial Finale X Boot combine a classic upper with striking pink. The mainly black shoe comes with a remarkable lines pattern on the upper and features a grey Swoosh.
However, whereas the upper and the splatter-graphic patterned midsole of the boots is quite bold, the Black and Pink Blast colorway of the Nike Mercurial X Finale 2 Shoes features a standard orange rubber sole plate.
Made for lockdown, ball touch and explosive motion, the second-gen Nike Mercurial Finale Indoor, Turf and Street Soccer Shoe again features a lightweight mesh upper with NikeSkin technology and a no tongue system. In fact, the complete upper construction is almost identical to the first-gen boots, while the only significant difference are the 'speed ribs' that are made for even more stability.
The next-gen Nike MercurialX Finale Indoor and Turf Soccer Shoes again feature a low-profile Phylon midsole for superior underfoot ball feel and a sole plate made for fast small-sided games. Like the previous generation, the Nike Mercurial X Finale 2 Boot will be available both as Indoor Court (IC) and Turf (TF) version.
The black next-gen Nike Mercurial X Finale 2 Football Shoes retail at the same price as the previous generation (80 Euro, 90 USD, 70 GBP) and will be available from August 2016 at selected retailers.
Almost exactly the same as the previous generation. What's your verdict on the next-gen Nike Mercurial X Finale 2016-2017 Indoor, Turf and Street Football Boots? Let us know in the comments below.

The design features vibrant multi-coloured rings and graphic lines in red, pink, blue, and black against a white base. These accents are arranged to create a subtle strobe effect when spinning in flight, aiding visibility for players on the pitch. The Barclays WSL version features a gold Nike Swoosh inside the signature circular ring, while the WSL2 edition showcases a silver Swoosh paired with bright pink detailing.
Underneath the graphics, the ball utilizes Nike Control technology with debossed grooves and engineered paneling designed to deliver stable aerodynamics and consistent touch in all conditions. The new ball will be used across all 26-27 WSL, WSL2, and domestic cup matches.
