The Full History of the Nike Mercurial Superfly IV
May 31, 2016, by Pat
The Superfly V is here. Following a trophy-clinging debut by Cristiano Ronaldo in this year's Champions League final, more and more players have been starting to lace up in the latest edition of Nike's speed boots. What better moment to have a last look at the cleats it replaces, before our memory of the Nike Mercurial Superfly IV fades.
Ranging from the striking 2014 World Cup version to the outrageous "What the...?" edition, the Nike Mercurial Superfly IV has seen a total of at least 32 colorways released, including no less than seven Cristiano Ronaldo signature drops and a couple of limited-edition launches.

FIFA Did Not Publish 2026 World Cup Final Matchups Yet
It is just a little more than two days until the 2026 World Cup final and 45 hours until the Third Place match, but FIFA has not yet published the kit matchups for the final two games of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on its official FWC2026 Match Colours Designation page.
It is widely predicted that Spain and Argentina will both wear their home kits, as will England vs France. We might also see special referee kits. Thanks to our partners Jersey Story for the collage.
Adidas EQT Flamengo 1992 Retro Collection Leaked
The t-shirt of the Adidas Flamengo 2026 EQT collection has been leaked by @ofertastorcida. It is white with the block stripes in red and black.
Adidas will release a special 1992 EQT retro range for Flamengo, as shared by specialized club outlet Coluna do Fla.
The Adidas Flamengo 1992 2026 retro collection features a striking vintage tracksuit and matching t-shirts that lean heavily into the club's early history and the bold sportswear aesthetics of the 1990s.
The predominantly red and black pieces prominently feature the classic Adidas Trefoil text logo alongside the historic Flamengo rowing crest, deliberately substituting the modern "CRF" monogram for the club's traditional anchor-and-oars emblem.

Nike Atelier Total 90 Sneaker Leaked
Nike is expanding its bespoke Atelier lifestyle line with a clean White/Game Royal colorway for the Atelier Total 90 Premium.
Following the debut of a black Merc version originally created alongside French football star Désiré Doué, this new edition offers a lighter take on a Total 90 football-meets-lifestyle hybrid.
The upper of the Atelier Merc Total 90 faithfully recreates the iconic shape of the Total 90 Laser 3, crafted entirely from premium white leather with intricate quilted stitching. A standout feature is a classic fold-over tongue, which comes equipped with a practical Velcro closure and is subtly embossed with Nike Atelier branding. Underneath, the Nike Atelier T90 comes with the Cyroshot cover over the studs.
Priced at a luxury-tier $470, the Nike Atelier Total 90 Premium is scheduled for a December2026 release ahead of the 26-27 season. The shoe will be available through select high-end retailers, including Dover Street Market, as well as via Nike SNKRS.
