Nike's new Fire vs Ice collection brings with a fiery colorway for the Mercurial Superfly V that will be available to buy from 6 November.
Nike Mercurial Superfly V - University Red / Black
This image shows the University Red colorway of the Nike Mercurial Superfly 5.
A truly 'fire' edition, the new Nike Mercurial Superfly V cleats fade from University Red in the rear towards an orangish shade in the front. Black is used for all brandings, as well as for the sole plate of the University Red Nike Mercurial Superfly V boots.
As with all recent drops, 'NIKE' is written on the instep. Finally, a subtle graphic appears on the heel counter of the red and black Nike Mercurial Superfly V 17-18 football boots.
Tech-wise, although they are one of the last colorways of the current generation of the Nike Mercurial, the red and black Superfly 5 remains virtually unchanged from the initial Euro 2016 colorway. The Nike Mercurial Superfly VI will be released in Spring 2017.
Nike Mercurial Superfly V - Features
- Flyknit upper and Nike Grip for a locked-down fit
- Integrated textured speed ribs for maximum ball control
- ACC (All Conditions Control) technology
- Speed ribs 3D texture for enhanced ball control and shooting
- Ultralight 3D Speed Plate for explosive speed
Set to be released on 6 November 2017, the Nike Fire Pack Mercurial Superfly 5 boots retail at USD 300 (GBP 250, EUR 290). They will be worn by Arsenal's Alexis Sánchez and other high-profile Mercurial players.
