Nike has launched the Mercurial Vapor Superfly.
One of the most anticipated soccer cleats to be launched this year is the Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly, the successor to the carbon fibre Vapor SL.
The Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly FG soccer cleats are worn by two of the best strikers in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and is the lightest soccer cleat Nike has ever put on the pitch.
Made with innovative, ultra-strong Flywire technology, you’ll be wired for speed and nearly unstoppable with the ball in a sleek, durable cleat that will leave defenders reeling in your wake.
Overview of the Nike’s Mercurial Vapor Superfly Specs
- Flywire technology is strategically placed filaments that provide optimal support and comfort precisely where the foot needs it.
- 7-layer carbon composite outsole (lightweight but maximum strength, resilience and flexibility)
- Teijin synthetic skin exterior surface (only 300 microns thick)
- Flywire thread (provides optimal support)
- Five ultra thin layer composite upper
- Lightweight Traction Sole Plates
- Super-light, super-strong direct injected dual-density molded studs
- One-piece Seamless Heel Pod Liner (better fit & comfort)
Nike Flywire technology utilizes high-strength threads that act like cables on a suspension bridge, delivering engineered support precisely where it is needed. This revolutionary technology transforms how footwear is engineered by reducing the amount of material required for the upper of a soccer cleat 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.
