NIKE MERCURIAL VAPOR SUPERFLY
**Update, the Superfly II has now been launched, check all the latest information here – Superfly II
Nike has launched the Mercurial Vapor Superfly. The football boot uses Flywire technology and Nike maintains that it will redefine how footwear is made.
Nike Flywire technology utilises high-strength threads that act like cables on a suspension bridge, delivering engineered support precisely where it’s needed. This revolutionary technology transforms how footwear is engineered by reducing the amount of material required for the upper of a football boot to the bare minimum without compromising on durability or integrity and support.
The strength of Nike Flywire technology is created through optimal placement of threads providing support where players need it most, coupled with highly tuned composite upper package that locks the threads in place, allowing the upper to adapt to the motion of the foot. The composite upper package uses an ultra-thin Teijin skin to cover the top of the foot, and together with the Flywire threads locks the foot in place.

The Mercurial Vapor Superfly also incorporates a revolutionary lightweight traction sole plate and a carbon fibre chassis that shave precious grams from the boot, ensuring the player remains quicker than ever without compromising integrity or traction.
Nike assert that the Mercurial Vapor Superfly is their lightest and fastest football boot ever, a fit with the modern game that is now being played faster every season with a need for quicker reactions and acceleration.
Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly Technology:
Engineered Flywire Thread is positioned to meet the needs of the fastest players, providing optimal support precisely where the foot needs it.
Composite Upper combines five ultra thin layers that encase the Flywire threads to create a finely tuned shell that functions in harmony with the foot.
Teijin Synthetic Skin exterior surface, only 300 microns thick, to ensure the best possible fit and feel.
Flywire, Composite Upper and Teijin Skin combine to create Nike’s thinnest football upper to date and provide a uncompromising foot to boot, boot to ball fit.
Lightweight Traction Sole Plates incorporate a higher density inner structure providing the necessary integrity yet allowing the extraction of unnecessary weight from the centre of the studs. These super-light, super-strong direct injected dual-density molded studs deliver optimal traction.
7-layer carbon composite outsole shaves off weight while delivering maximum resilience, strength and flexibility.
Minimal Internal Heel Counter provides added integrity in the heel for ultra explosive players.
One-piece Seamless Heel Pod Liner offers added comfort and fit.

In response to ill-d's comment:
the trick about a good boot is how lightweight and tight they are on your feet
when i put on my talarias i cankick ages harder and further than with some tennis shoes with cleats on the bottom
nike has outdone themselves i dont care about the price i have a JOB! thats an activity you do to earn money to all those people crying about the price
the colour is okay now but a black and yellow like they did with the mvII would be champion

Stop complaining about how expensive it is! its is made for PROFESSIONALS Or ELITE players. if you don’t want to spend that much money; just buy the regular vapors for 200.

buddy the studs have holes to reduce weight which is good but it also looks fabulous!
these are beautiful one of a kind boots and if you don’t respect that Nike is a good company i think that you should not be commenting at all….personally i think these are wonderful boots and i am looking forward to buying myself a pair…p.s. all you need to do to make up for the miniscule loss of durability is take care of them!

These boots are expensive, and i don’t know how durable they will be, but nike does do a good job backing up their product; if these rip, you will be able to get a voucher and get any other cleat you want. I say they are worth the risk if you can afford it and plan to have a back up pair of boots with me just in case.

I think the Superfly is a great boots especially in the black/yellow one.. The technology used for this boot is incredible. It is lightweight, only 185g. This is good for a professional footballer especially the fast ones like ronaldo and drogba as it MIGHT makes them a better and faster player. But it will not turn a bad player to a professional player.
The most ridiculous thing about the Superfly is it costs that much. As it costs a lot, I expect it would be a high-quality and a long-lasting boots. But drogba’s boots ripped badly when he played against Turkey.
So, overall I think the Superfly is great. But the ‘Superfly ripped’ issue makes it not worth the price..

any boot would’ve ripped from that impact from the turkey player made on Drogba’s boot. So you guys need to stop letting that one picture make the boot look bad, when they are really good and make you feel so light in them. They are also a bit too exppensive.

The shoes are incredible they look good increase speed by 5% and if your good enough you dont have to worry about getting your foot trod on
BUT only bad thing is the price. 500 australian dollars “rip off”

They would increase speed a little bit only if u are really dependant on speed as in you are really quick. Why do you think top sprinters run with very light spikes, because it makes them quicker
