The Full History of the Nike Mercurial Superfly IV

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.
