Nike "What The" Mercurial Superfly Boots Launched - New Pairs Available
The Nike Mercurial Superfly IV "What The" football boots went on sale in Europe at selected retailers after they were available via the Nike Football App one week ago (however, almost all pairs of the cleats are already sold out - 9:12 London Time). The boots were not launched in the United States or elsewhere yet.
Nike Mercurial Superfly IV "What The"
This is the special What The Nike Mercurial Superfly soccer cleat.
Nike's What The shoes combine elements from different popular models into one, and the same is case with this special-edition Nike Mercurial Superfly IV boots. The What The Nike Mercurial Superfly boots feature elements from previous key releases, ranging from the famous 1998 boots worn by Ronaldo to the Superfly IV itself.
Some nice features of the Nike Mercurial Superfly What The boots include a bold NIKE writing on the instep, deriving from the Mercurial Vapor IX, and the heel design that's inspired by its predecessor, the Mercurial Vapor VIII. Additionally, the Mercurial writing on the heel tab of the What The Nike Mercurial Superfly cleats has been edited to include all the different fonts that have been used over the years. Last but not least, five gold circles on the heel represent the upcoming Mercurial Superfly V.
And because the different elements are only printed on the regular Superfly material, unlike with Nike's basketball or skateboard "What The" shoes, the mashup Nike Mercurial Superfly 2016 boots will be perfectly fine to play with.
Only 3,000 pairs of the the stunning What The Nike Mercurial Superfly soccer cleats will go on sale on May 5. They retail at $300, a $25 increase compared to regular-edition drops. The boot comes in a "What the Box," with the retrospective color mashup on the inside as well with a special "What the Bag" that features the combination of four logo fonts on the front and a timeline of iconic Mercurial boots on the back.
