Nike What The Mercurial 2018 Boots Revealed
Mar 8, 2018, by Pat
Celebrating 20 years of the most important Nike football boot model, the Swoosh today presented the special-edition What The Mercurial Superfly VI Elite, set to be released on March 12 in limited numbers.
Nike Mercurial Superfly 6 What The Mercurial
This is the Nike What The Mercurial Superfly VI 360 Elite soccer boot.
Inspired by the iconic 2016 Nike What The Mercurial - a limited-edition boot that sold out within minutes and featured elements from some of the key Mercurials through history - the new cleats, based on the recently introduced Superfly 6 (360) Elite model, opt for a much more subdued look.
They are all-black and feature subtle knit and print patterns, which again reflect legendary cleats such as the 1998 Mercurial Vapor or the 2002 Mercurial Vapor I.
A special adaptation of the 'M' logo appears on the front of the tongue of the What The Mercurial Superfly VI Elite boots - commemorating the 20th anniversary of the introduction of the silo, which was worn by Ronaldo for the first time just on this day, 8 March, 1998.
A dark metallic sole plate rounds off the design alongside the 'What The Mercurial' wordmark and five dots on the heel, just as on the 2016 edition.

FC Cartagena 26-27 Away Kit Released
Spanish side FC Cartagena and Macron have officially launched their new away kit for the 26-27 season, paying homage to the city's rich three-thousand-year heritage. Draped in traditional carmesí red, the jersey is decorated with an intricate all-over graphic pattern inspired by an ancient Roman mosaic uncovered in the crypt beneath the Catedral de Santa María la Vieja. Elegant gold detailing highlights the monochrome crest, collar trim, sleeve cuffs, and sponsor emblems, completed by the Latin motto Carthago Nova Invicta Est subtly sublimated onto the lower hem.
Nike to Sell Long-Sleeve Besiktas Kits From 27-28 Season
Nike is set to introduce commercially available long-sleeve kits for Beşiktaş starting from the 27-28 season. Following the club's major switch from Adidas after 17 years, supporters will finally have direct access to official long-sleeve match jerseys at retail. Big thanks to @ertansuzgun & @Formaholic.
The timing aligns with significant milestone celebrations in Istanbul, as Nike is also planning a special 125th-anniversary collection for Beşiktaş during the 27-28 campaign to mark the club's foundation in 1903. Rather than relying on base layers and compression undershirts, players and fans alike will see dedicated long-sleeve designs included in the lineup.
The development forms part of Nike's wider strategy to bring back commercial long-sleeve authentic shirts across its elite roster from 27-28 onwards. By expanding long-sleeve availability to Beşiktaş, Nike closes the gap on rivals like Adidas and provides the Black Eagles with full top-tier treatment under their new partnership.
