We have photos of the new Mercurial Vapor Superfly after Nike launched the boot prior to us getitng our first glimpse of the boot in action on March 11th in the Champions League as we told you previously.

New Nike Superfly Boots

We’ve told you the specs before, but here are some of the highlights again; the boots are Nike’s lightest and fastest football ever 9they weight just 185g) and that is why you will see the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Franck Ribery, Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba, Theo Walcott, Dani Alves wearing them.

The Nike Flywire technology means Nike can use the minimum of material required for the upper of the Mercurial Vapor Superfly boot, not compromising durability, integrity or support whilst saving weight. The chasis of the boot is carbon fibre and there is also a lightweight traction sole plate to save more weight.

Overview of the boot tech in Nike’s Mercurial Vapor Superfly

• 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)

The boots go on sale on April 1st, are available for pre-order from March 11th and you can watch them in action that night when Inter Milan play Manchester United in the Champions League or in Premier League games the following weekend.
