Following the launch of the next-generation Mercurial boot silo for the 2026 World Cup season, Nike has officially made the Nike Mercurial Vapor 17 Elite and Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 Elite available on its Nike By You customization platform.
Nike Mercurial 2026 Soccer Cleats Finally Customizable
The Nike By You platform offers an extensive selection of design choices for both the Vapor 17 and Superfly 11 models. Customizers can choose between styles for multiple main elements of the boots, allowing them to create some extreme multicolor looks. It is more possible than with other silos, especially for the Superfly (thanks to the new Flyweave Ultra). Meanwhile, the Vapor is more restricted, to just 7 upper designs.
The iconic side Swoosh can be customized with metallic gold, silver, or bright accent outlines, while sole plates are available in translucent, metallic, and solid finishes. Players can also add personal touches such as national flag icons and custom text to the upper.
Both Firm Ground (FG) and Artificial Grass (AG) stud configurations are available for selection. The Nike Mercurial Vapor 17 Elite By You is priced at $290, while the Mercurial Superfly 11 Elite By You retails for $325. You can now build bespoke colorways and personalized specifications directly on Nike.com.

Trabzonspor 26-27 Kit Features Hidden Glow-in-the-Dark Crest
A fascinating hidden detail on the new Joma Trabzonspor 26-27 black kit has caught football shirt collectors by surprise. After purchasing the official shirt from the club store, Asimingo discovered that the Trabzonspor crest is manufactured with phosphorescent, glow-in-the-dark material.
When charged under light, the badge emits an intense, bright cyan glow when placed in the dark. The effect gradually fades over several hours, functioning via standard photoluminescent pigment rather than electronic elements.
Interestingly, this unique feature was not prominently highlighted during the official marketing rollout of the shirt.
