Footy Headlines can exclusively reveal that Nike will launch the next generation of its legendary speed boot silo, the Mercurial Vapor 17 and Superfly 11. Following the brand's established two-year upgrade cycle, the new boot is scheduled to be released in early June 2026, just ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Next-Gen Nike Mercurial 2026 Vapor 17/Superfly 11 Boots
The next generation of the Nike Mercurial Vapor 17 / Superfly 11 boots will introduce a major update in both visual design and performance technology.
In terms of technology, Nike will launch an entirely new upper material to replace Flyknit. This new upper technology makes the Mercurial 2026 the lightest Mercurial ever released.
Nike first applied Flyknit technology to football boots in 2014 with the Nike Mercurial Superfly 4. After 12 consecutive years of use, it will be phased out in 2026.
We can confirm that the boot will feature a completely new soleplate - a signature change for any new Mercurial generation.
Launch Colorway: Multicolor / Black
The first colorway of the next-gen Nike Mercurial 2026 will be a standout one to make a statement on the pitch at the World Cup. The official colors are "Multicolor / Black", suggesting a vibrant and eye-catching design.
