Nike Hypervenom Phatal AG Duo Review

A revolutionary lightweight design to match the speed of today's game, the Mercuri

A revolutionary lightweight design to match the speed of today's game, the Mercurial Superfly SG Pro Football Boot is driven through Nike's most advanced technology.

The original Mercurial boot was unveiled in 1998 and with advances in material, the 2014 model is created from innovative Nike Flyknit. This new three-knit weave puts less material between your foot and the ball to enhance the natural touch, a vital element when playing at top speed.

Treated to the same material as the top-end Magista models, NikeSkin treatment aids in the protection of your feet from the cold and wet while ACC (All Conditions Control) allows for great play and comfort in all weather conditions, so you can take to the pitch all year round with confidence in your performance.

Materials aside and the distinguishing feature of the Superfly is that of the high-top Dynamic Fit Collar. Radically transforming the shape of the Mercurial, this has been designed to simply create an enhanced fit and heightened sensation of the boot as an extension of the foot.

Returning to the main upper and another breakthrough addition are the Brio Cables knitted directly into the upper and locked into the outsole. Subtle in design their impact is much more significant as by connecting this tendon-like support to the heel, the boot acts like a slingshot to help propel you forward.

Looking closely at the sole and Nike continue to employ performance enhancing features in abundance. The inclusion of a new, more flexible full-length carbon plate helps to more efficiently transmit power through the ground while added studs at the heel offer stability. Extra traction has also been placed at the toe to ensure more grip and propulsion during the critical final 10% of your stride.

With a refined and classic black approach to the Mercurial Superfly, white detailing to the Swoosh is in keeping with the look while a light touch of Nike's signature hyper punch shade completes the beautiful design.

To help looked after your prized assets, a drawstring boot bag is also included.

This boot weighs 218g (UK 8).
