Ready to cast a shadow over the defense? Catch some air in the all-new Nike Mercurial Superfly 9. The Air Zoom Mercurial boasts a three-quarter length articulated Zoom Air bag designed exclusively for the needs of soccer players. The Mercurial Superfly's Zoom airbag features flex grooves for flexibility and sits directly inside the soleplate, bringing the foot closer to the field for maximum snappy, propulsive energy return. A redesigned Vaporposite+ upper and data-driven "Speed Cage" support system provides lockdown. The upper features a new evolution of Vaporposite. Called Vaporposite+, the upper combines a grip-enhancing chevron mesh with a Flyknit lining that helps with ball control at high speeds. The Air Zoom Mercurial's new Tri-Star stud design powers both lateral and downhill movement for faster play in all directions.
