Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has returned to pre-season training wearing Nike Mercurial Superfly boots instead of his usual choice, the Nike Hypervenom.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Trains in Nike Mercurial Superfly 360 Heritage Boots
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang wore two different editions of the Nike Mercurial Heritage soccer cleats in training so far - the Nike Mercurial Superfly 360 1998 Heritage cleat and the Nike Mercurial Superfly 360 2006 Heritage cleat.
It seems likely that Aubameyang will make the switch to the Nike Mercurial football boot silo, especially with Nike ditching the Hypervenom in favor of the all new Nike Phantom Venom.
