A quite big change to the current generation, there are at least four things that make the Nike Mercurial Superfly 8 a rather big evolution.

First, the upper on the outstep and instep comes with holes, possibly made to improve ventilation and reduce weight while maintaining stability.

Second, the heel area seems ti feature a newly developed internal heel counter for better lockdown.

Third, the Swoosh on the outstep is bigger and even more bold than the one of the current-gen Nike Mercurial Superfly 7.
