Next-Gen Nike Mercurial Superfly 7 & Vapor 13 2019 Boots Leaked - 4 First Editions, Tech & Launch Date
Jun 26, 2019, by Chris
Nike this week released the next-generation Nike Tiempo Legend VIII soccer boots. However, the next-gen Nike Tiempo boots are not the only next-gen cleats Nike are set to launch this summer - the Swoosh will also release the next generation of the Mercurial, almost certainly in July 2019.
The next-gen Nike Mercurial 2019 will be launched as Superfly (Nike Mercurial Superfly VII) and Vapor (Nike Mercurial Vapor XII) versions. The boots will be headlined by Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
Nike Mercurial 2019 - 3 First Colorways + Neymar Signature Edition
We expect that the Nike Mercurial 2019 will be launched in the striking blue colorway of the 'New Lights' pack (in contrast to the next-gen Tiempo, which was launched in the black 'Under The Radar' and white 'Nouveau White' launch editions).
Tech-wise, the next-gen Nike Mercurial Superfly 7 & Vapor 13 2019 will be very similar to the current-gen boots, with now really important changes. The main difference will be the striking new visual design and the updated synthetic layer that now covers the whole upper to avoid that the boots look dirty as fast as before.
In August 2019, Nike will already release the first signature version of the Mercurial 2019 boots. The Neymar Nike Mercurial Vapor 13 2019 signature cleats boast a definitely fitting unique design for the Brazilian superstar. Mbappe is also reported to receive signature editions of the boot, while there could be no more signature versions for Cristiano Ronaldo anymore.
Nike Mercurial 2019 "New Lights" - July 2019
Nike Mercurial 2019 "Under the Radar" - July / August 2019
Nike Mercurial 2019 "Nouveau White" - August 2019
Nike Mercurial Vapor 13 2019 Neymar Signature Boots - August 2019
The next-generation Nike Mercurial Superfly 7 & Vapor 13 2019 football boots are set for a launch in early July 2019. We expect that the main colorway will be the 'New Lights' edition. The next-gen Nike Mercurial 2019 soccer cleats will have the same retail price as the current-gen boots - 275 USD (Superfly) / 250 USD (Vapor).

Austria Lustenau Release Special-Edition 26-27 "Vintage" Kit
Austrian club SC Austria Lustenau has unveiled a special-edition jersey, dubbed the "Vintage" kit, created in collaboration with Italian brand Erreà. The limited-edition shirt was launched for the friendly match against German giants FC Schalke 04 at the Sun Minimeal Arena.
The Erreà Austria Lustenau 26-27 "Vintage" jersey comes in an off-white cream base adorned with a subtle all-over floral damask pattern. It is complemented by a dark green polo collar with dual gold pinstripes, an aesthetic echoed on the matching ribbed sleeve cuffs. To complete the clean retro look, the club crest, Erreà chest logo, and Sun Minimeal front sponsor are all rendered in monochrome dark green.
On the back, the retro styling continues with an elegant serif typeface in green for the player names and squad numbers. The release represents another custom design from Erreà in their first season outfitting the Austrian side, after taking over the club's technical contract ahead of the 26-27 campaign.
Betting Ban: Brazilian Club Vila Nova Announce BYD Main Shirt Sponsor Deal
Brazilian club Vila Nova FC has officially announced Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD as its new primary front-of-shirt sponsor. Described by the club as the largest commercial partnership in its history, the agreement places the BYD logo prominently on the chest of the team's Volt Sport kits through the end of 2026, with an option to extend into 2027.
The sponsorship is executed in collaboration with Saga, an authorized dealership network representing BYD in Brazil, whose small logo appears directly underneath the main BYD mark. The automotive manufacturer replaces previous shirt sponsor Bet da Sorte, following a wave of regulatory restrictions on betting companies operating in Brazilian football.
Currently fighting at the top of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B table and chasing promotion to the top flight, Vila Nova is set to debut the redesigned shirts immediately. The landmark agreement secures vital financial stability for the club's promotion push while expanding BYD's growing footprint across South American football.
