Jun 22, 2022 · For a light boot, the Nike Zoom Air Mercurial Superfly IX is strong. There’s no empty feeling when you strike a ball, it feels like you’ve got added comfort and power and there’s no danger of that stinging feeling of kicking a ball in socks, or other super lightweight boots. It feels plush.

Yes, the Mercurial Superfly is back as a knitted speed boot. You’ll have to go back to the ever-popular Superfly 7 for that Flyknit experience. This time around, it’s not just Flyknit that you’ll get from the upper. Above you’ll see that the upper has a slanted seam along the sides to separate the vamp and the quarter. The former has the Gripknit m...
If you’re coming from the Superfly 9, then the changes on the upper are surely going to take your attention. But the feature presentation remains the Air Zoom technology, which I think is still unique and incomparable with the advent of the Lightstrike in the adidas F50. It provides that cushioned sensation that reduces the grind and smoothens the ...
Going back to the upper, I believe it’s the fit and feel that has been greatly changed, possibly for the best in terms of accommodating more foot width. The last still leans on narrower side, but my wide feet still have a nice sculpted feel without any cramped sensation thanks to the natural give of the knit material. I rank this as the most comfor...
The only concern for the Superfly now is that it seems to have moved on from one of the Mercs longstanding identity of being a truly snug, in-your-face tightness fit. The reality is that the Superfly 10, to my mind at least, has done an excellent job at having a close but nice fit. I might miss the responsiveness of past Superflys coming from their...
The original Superfly was released as the Mercurial Vapor Superfly in 2009. The silo has come a long way since then in establishing itself as one of the popular speed boots in football. Let’s see how we got to where we are by taking a brief walk down the memory lane and remembering each generational release of the Mercurial Superfly.
Technically not the first to bring Zoom Air to the Mercurial, but the Superfly 9 arguably had been the first successful attempt to implement the tech into the silo. Nike partnered it with a Vaporposite+ upper that was inspired by the cut-out Roman sandals. Superfly 9 launched with the white with red Disruption colourway.
The 2021 Mercurial Superfly was the 8th generation of the brand’s popular silo, the original releasewas the Dragonfly, with all the individual aspects of the boot highlighted in different colours and numbered, they were followed shortly by the red Spectrum pack.
The 7 were released in July 2019, high-tenacity yarns reinforced the Flyknit upper for a soft yet well-structured boot, and an Aerotrak arrow spine on the soleplate made them very responsive and fast-feeling. These included feature colourways like the white Mercurial Dream Speed III with black accents, the pink Mbappe Rosa taking inspiration from t...
Nike introduced the Superfly 6 on February 7, 2018, it was the first Superfly to have a split-sole construction and to have the Flyknit yarns coated with ACC rather than having the ACC on top of the upper. The release of the Superfly 360 came with the Born Mercurial orange colourway pack, designers Virgil Abloh and Kim Jones had their respective ta...
The Superfly 5 debuted on May 17, 2016 under the Spark Brilliance football pack; the launch colourway had a red-purple split, black accents radiating from the collar, heel, and speed ribs adorns the boot. A Flyknit boot that had textured Speed Ribs wrapping around the upper. CR7’s Chapter 5: Cut to Brilliance, Chapter 4: Forged to Greatness, and Ch...
