Today, the next generation of speed, the new Nike Mercurial boots go on sale. Let's use this important day to take a look at what's happening below the highest tier, below the Superfly V and Vapor XI.
Nike Mercurial Superfly V
The pinnacle of Nike's innovation, the new Mercurial Superfly V retails at $300 and is worn on the pitch by the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Anthony Martial (via Football Boots DB). Like its predecessor, it comes with a knitted upper and a Dynamic Fit collar.
Nike Mercurial Vapor XI
The second highest-priced model and the only one besides the Superfly to receive significant on-pitch support from professionals, the new Nike Mercurial Vapor 11 is similarly akin to its predecessor, the Mercurial Vapor 10. Retailing at $230, it has a Teijin microfiber upper and boasts a tongue-less construction.
Nike Mercurial Veloce III
The all-new Nike Mercurial Veloce III provides a totally different look than before, mostly thanks to the addition of a Dynamic Fit collar. Featuring a similar upper to the Mercurial Vapor, the Nike Mercurial Veloce III soccer cleats include Flyknit for the heightened collar part. They are available for $155.
Nike Mercurial Victory VI
Next in line is the Mercurial Victory VI football boot. It comes with a thicker Trophy synthetic upper and retails at $80.
Nike Mercurial Vortex III
Retailing at a mere $55, the Nike Mercurial Vortex III soccer boots are the cheapest of the bunch.
