Celebrating Carli Lloyd winning the 2015 FIFA Women Player of the Year award, Nike has released a limited, special-edition pair of Nike Mercurial Superfly cleats. Titled "Leave Your Legacy", Lloyd will wear the unique pair of Nike Mercurial Superfly boots in a game later this month.

Based on the iconic silhouette of the Nike Mercurial Superfly, the special Carli Lloyd boots are mostly white with a grey Dynamic Fit collar and lots of details in gold. "Leave Your Legacy" is written on the heel tab, adorned with three stars representing the USA's three Women's World Cup titles, as well as Lloyd's historic hat-trick in the 2015 World Cup final.
The three stars are also present on the insole of the Nike Mercurial Superfly "Leave Your Legacy" cleats, while the exact time of each of Carli Lloyd's three goals is visible inside them. Lloyd's number 10 is printed on the inner side of the boot in gold color, rounding off a classy design.
“Carli is already one of the greats of the women’s game and these boots are our way of celebrating that,” says General Manager of Nike Soccer in North America, Andrea Perez.
Carli Lloyd will wear the special-edition "Leave Your Legacy" Nike Mercurial Superfly cleats in the US national team's next game, on January 23 in San Diego.
Nike has announced that an additional 20 pairs of the unique soccer cleat have been produced, while further details as to how people will be able to get their hands on one of them will be revealed later.
