Nike MercurialX Finale II Boots Revealed
With the Nike Spark Brilliance football boot collection hitting shelves in a few days, the second-gen Nike MercurialX Finale indoor and turf soccer shoes will also become available to the public in their first colorway.
Nike MercurialX Finale II - Total Crimson / Black / Volt
This is the striking first-ever Nike MercurialX Finale 2 football boot.
Inspired by the Nike Mercurial Vapor and Superfly Euro 2016 cleats, the new Nike MercurialX Finale soccer shoes are split between red at the front, and the heel which is black. A large Volt swoosh is visible at the outside front of the second-gen Nike Mercurial Finale boots, while subtle striping is present on their side, black on the outside and Volt on the inside.
The sole plate of the Nike MercurialX Finale II in Total Crimson is entirely black and introduces an all-new construction, compared to the first generation.
Designed to offer lockdown, a supreme touch of the ball and provide the base for explosive motion, the Nike MercurialX Finale 2 indoor and turf soccer boots feature a lightweight mesh upper made of synthetic NikeSkin material and a tongue-less construction. So far very similar to the first-gen Nike MercurialX Finale, the second generation also comes with a Phylon midsole similar to the one used for the former, while the outsole was completely reworked as mentioned above. It includes extra protection on the inside as well.
Available for indoor (IN) and turf (TF) surfaces from May 30, the red-and-black Nike MercurialX Finale 2 boots retail at €80 ($90, £70).

Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collage.
