Vinicius Junior in Mercurial TN

As football pitches around the globe bear witness to the electrifying pace of modern play, Nike has once again bridged the gap between its legendary Air Max heritage and the blistering future of football boots with the unveiling of the Air Zoom Mercurial x Air Max Plus in a striking “Black/Sunset” colorway. This is another statement release, one debuted with panache by none other than the speed maestro himself, Vinicius Jnr.

Emerging from the shadows of January’s vibrant “Volt Purple/Total Orange” edition, the Air Zoom Mercurial takes a walk on the dark side with its latest design. The “Black/Sunset” rendition is a bold leap from its predecessor, offering a sultry mix that whispers tales of Air Max Plus’s iconic aesthetic, while screaming Mercurial’s pitch-shattering speed.

limited edition Nike Air Mercurial TN coming soon in Sunset colorway

At first glance, it’s the “Sunset” base that catches the eye – a nod to the fiery accents of the Air Max Plus. But linger a little longer, and the glossy black palm tree-inspired TPU cage demands attention, a homage to the Air Max Plus’s design lineage, seamlessly integrated into the Mercurial’s silhouette for a look that’s as fast as it is fierce.

Gone is the recognizable whale tail-shaped shank, making way for the Mercurial’s pitch-perfect soleplate. Yet, the spirit of the TN lives on, cleverly reinvented as “ZM” to honor the Air Zoom unit’s propulsion power that lies within, ready to launch players into their next sprint, swivel, or strike.

Get ready to witness a fusion like no other, where style meets speed, heritage meets modernity, and every step on the pitch is a step into legend. Nike’s “Black/Sunset” is more than just a colorway; it’s about turning the game on its head, blending sneaker culture cool with the unrelenting need for speed on the pitch.

Pairs will be available to buy at SOCCER.com.

Nike Unleashes Mercurial Dream Speed 8

In their latest homage to the relentless pursuit of greatness, Nike introduces the Mercurial Dream Speed 008, an embodiment of the sacrifices and hurdles every player endures on their path to success. This iteration, cloaked in the vibrant shades of “Green Strike/Black/Stadium Green,” brings a fresh wave of energy and determination to the field, perfectly encapsulating the spirit of ambition that Nike aims to ignite in athletes worldwide.

Since its inception in the latter part of 2019, the Nike Mercurial Dream Speed series has consistently pushed the boundaries of design and performance. Fronted by Cristiano Ronaldo, the series has been a canvas for interpreting speed through a plethora of unique and visually striking designs. Now, four years and eight editions later, the Mercurial Vapor and Superfly are once again re imagined, this time in a dynamic green colorway that commands attention and symbolizes the vibrancy of overcoming challenges.

The essence of the MDS008 is captured in its mantra: “Challenges and setbacks happen to everyone, but it’s how we choose to respond to them that defines us. Greatness isn’t given, but by focusing on your dreams you can find the strength to breakthrough.” It’s a reminder that in the face of adversity, the power to prevail is within us, fueled by our dreams and aspirations. The choice of green for this edition is no coincidence; in color psychology, green represents energy, positivity, and visibility. It’s these attributes that Nike seeks to imbue in the wearers of the MDS008, encouraging them to stand out and surge forward with unwavering determination.

Nike Mercurial Dream Speed 8

Visually, the boots are a testament to the art of speed. The tonal green base serves as the perfect backdrop for the oversized, textured Swoosh graphic that boldly makes its mark on the lateral side. This is complemented by additional green hues that emanate from the toes, creating an illusion of swift motion and propelling the player into a realm of unparalleled speed.

The list of players wearing the Mercurial silo (and likely this colorway in coming weeks) is highly impressive: Cristiano Ronaldo, Alejandro Garnacho, Kylian Mbappe, Victor Osimhen, Vinicius Jr., Fede Valverde, Alphonso Davies, Leroy Sané, Bruno Fernandes, Ansu Fati, Federico Chiesa, Lauren James, Ada Stolsmo Hegerberg, Salma Paralluelo and Jéssica Silva are just some of the players.

With the Mercurial Dream Speed 008, Nike continues to weave the narrative of dreamers who dare to make their visions of greatness a reality. It stands as a beacon of inspiration, urging players to illuminate their path to success with determination, resilience, and the vibrant energy that characterizes this latest edition. Whether on the attack or breaking through defenses, the MDS008 is designed for those who believe in the power of their dreams to propel them to victory.

Nike Premier 3 FG Review

Forget shimmering synthetics and blaring tech. In a world obsessed with the next big innovation, the Nike Premier III dares to whisper a different language.

Crafted from pure, unadulterated kangaroo leather, we’ll dissect the Premier III’s every stitch, from the luxurious feel of the leather against your foot to the way the conical studs grip the earth like dancers embracing the stage. Is it a whisper lost in the roar of progress, or a forgotten melody that still holds the power to move? In this review, we’ll uncover the truth: can the magic of touch transcend trends and triumph over technology?

Get ready to rediscover the art of control. The Premier III awaits. Let’s dance! 

Fit and Comfort

Classic Fit: The Premier III boasts a true-to-size fit, ideal for medium-width feet. Wide-footed players might require some break-in time.
Snug and Secure: The kangaroo leather upper molds closely to your foot, offering a locked-in feel for precise control.
Moderate Arch Support: The insole provides comfortable support for most arches, but high-arched players might prefer additional inserts.
Spacious Toe Box: Plenty of room for toe splay keeps your feet happy during sprints and maneuvers.
Personal Preferences: If you favor a snug, responsive fit, you’ll love the Premier III. Wider-footed players or those who prefer a plusher feel might consider alternatives.

Nike Premier 3 Soccer Cleats

Material Analysis and Durability

Premium Kangaroo Leather: This upper exudes luxury with its buttery soft texture and exceptional touch. Its natural breathability keeps your feet cool and comfortable.
Long-Term Durability: While kangaroo leather excels in feel and performance, it requires care. Expect scuffing and potential tears on firm ground over time. Regular cleaning and conditioning are essential.
Durable Soleplate: The TPU soleplate combines flexibility for comfort with sufficient rigidity for responsive movements. Its conical studs offer excellent traction on natural grass.

Soleplate and Traction

Conical Studs: Featuring low-profile, conical studs, this configuration provides consistent grip on natural grass pitches, allowing for confident cuts, turns, and accelerations.
Firmness and Flexibility: The soleplate balances firmness for stability with enough flexibility for smooth transitions and comfort.
Surface Suitability: These cleats excel on natural grass. While playable on firm ground, the conical studs might lack grip on artificial turf. Consider alternatives for predominantly playing on synthetic surfaces.

Break-In Period and Ease of Wear

Expect a 2-3 week break-in period as the kangaroo leather conforms to your foot. Wear thin socks to accelerate the process.
Initial snugness: The snug fit might feel stiff initially, especially for wider feet. Gradually increase wear time to avoid discomfort.
Tips for Break-In: Stuffing the cleats with paper for a few days can soften the leather. Wearing them around the house for short periods can also ease the transition.

Nike Premier 3 Features

Performance in Different Weather Conditions

Dry Conditions: King of the pitch: Conical studs dig deep into dry grass, letting you explode off the line, change direction on a dime, and master pinpoint control. No slipping or sliding here!
Wet Conditions: Waterlogged woes: While the studs hold up decently, the leather absorbs water, adding weight and potentially dampening your touch. Precision might waver a bit on soggy pitches.

Aesthetic Appeal

Timeless Design: The Premier III retains the classic kangaroo leather silhouette with a minimalist, understated elegance. The iconic Nike Swoosh appears discreetly on the heel and tongue, prioritizing performance over flashy logos.
Bold Colorways: Choose from striking options like “Black/White/Volt” or “Hyper Crimson/Black/White” to stand out on the pitch.

Durability Insights

High-Contact Areas: Expect scuffing and potential tears on the toe box and instep, especially on firm ground. Regular cleaning and conditioning can extend their lifespan.
Playing Surface Impact: Avoid frequent use on artificial turf, as the conical studs might wear faster or damage the synthetic surface.
Comparison with Similar Cleats: Compared to synthetic leather offerings, kangaroo leather requires more care but offers superior touch and comfort. Consider the trade-off based on your priorities.

Comparison with Previous Models

Lighter Weight: Compared to the Premium II, the III boasts a slightly lighter weight thanks to a thinner soleplate, enhancing agility and acceleration.
Softer Leather: The kangaroo leather on the III feels noticeably softer and more pliable than the II, offering a more luxurious touch and improved comfort.
Refined Fit: The II’s snug fit has been slightly adjusted in the III to provide a more accommodating feel around the midfoot and toe box.

Player Feedback

Pros: Players praise the exceptional touch, responsive feel, and timeless design. The comfortable fit and breathability are also appreciated.
Cons: Concerns about long-term durability on firm ground and high-maintenance nature of the leather have been raised. Wider-footed players might initially find the fit snug.

Recommendations Based on Playing Style

Strikers and Playmakers: Nike highlight close touch and precise control of the kangaroo leather, making them ideal for strikers and playmakers who rely on impacting the game when it matters most.
Midfielders: The lightweight construction and responsive soleplate enhance agility and quick changes of direction, making them suitable for midfielders.
Defenders: While not ideal for tackling due to the thin leather, the conical studs offer decent grip for interceptions and covering ground. Consider sturdier options for aggressive defenders.

Value for Money

More bang for your buck: At $120, the Premier III might seem pricey, but the premium kangaroo leather, exceptional touch, and timeless design offer tremendous value compared to other high-end cleats. You’re investing in quality that performs and lasts.
Investment in your game: Think of the Premier III as an investment in your on-field performance. The precise touch, responsive soleplate, and durable construction can elevate your game and unlock your full potential.
Sweet deals await: While $120 might seem hefty at first glance, keep your eyes peeled for sales and discounts. These beauties can be snagged at even better prices, making them a steal for performance-focused players.
Worth the upgrade: Compared to synthetic leather options that might cost less upfront, the Premier III’s superior touch, comfort, and long-term durability offer far greater value in the long run. You’ll get what you pay for, and then some.

Overall

Strikers, playmakers, and touch maestros, listen up: The Nike Premier III FG is your weapon of choice. Kangaroo leather whispers control, the conical studs dance on natural grass, and the timeless design commands respect. Sure, they require some break-in love and extra care, but for players who prioritize feel over flashy tech, the Premier III delivers. They might not be for everyone, but if you’re a purist on a budget, look no further.

A Design Revelation: Blending Two Worlds

Nike Phantom GX Vortex Pack Released

Nike is at it again, revolutionizing the soccer world with their latest innovation – the Phantom Vortex Pack. This exciting new release unveils the updated, pictured Phantom GX, a cleat that is set to redefine performance standards on the soccer field. What makes this release particularly thrilling is the combination of two groundbreaking technologies: Gripknit and the Cyclone 360° Plate.

Gripknit Upper – Precision and Comfort in Every Touch

The Phantom GX now features Gripknit uppers, a technology that’s all about enhancing your connection with the ball. Gripknit is designed to offer an unmatched fit and feel, molding to your foot like a second skin. This means more precise touches, better ball control, and an overall increase in your ability to manipulate the ball under various play conditions. It’s not just about performance; this technology also elevates the comfort level, ensuring your feet are snug and secure, yet free to move naturally.

Cyclone 360° Plate – Unparalleled Agility and Speed

The real game-changer comes in the form of the Cyclone 360° Plate. Initially popularized by the Luna, this soleplate technology is all about enhancing your agility and speed on the pitch. The design of the plate ensures a responsive interaction with the ground, allowing for rapid changes in direction and explosive acceleration. Whether you’re a forward making a break for the goal or a defender needing to quickly shift positions, the Cyclone 360° Plate provides the foundation for dynamic, high-speed play.

Nike Vortex Pack Phantom GX

A Fusion of Technology – The Phantom GX Experience

What happens when you combine Gripknit uppers with the Cyclone 360° Plate? You get the Phantom GX – a cleat that’s not just a piece of footwear but a true extension of the player. This combination ensures that every movement is precise, every turn is sharp, and every step is comfortable.

Also released as part of the pack is an updated version of Phantom Luna, and there will be a new Tiempo legend colorway. January 11th is the official date that everything will drop.

Everything released as part of Vortex Pack can be found at SOCCER.com.

Nike Zoom Mercurial Superfly Peak Ready Pack

As we head towards the end of what has been a fascinating 2023 in the boot world, it seems like a good time to pay a revisit to a standout contender that we tested earlier this year; the Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly. These boots have not only stepped but leaped into the spotlight, showcasing a vibrant “Hyper Turquoise/Fuchsia Dream” colorway. As a dazzling member of Nike’s innovative “Peak Ready” Pack, they’re crafted to boost both the performance and aesthetics of players who aren’t afraid to shine on the pitch.

But there’s more to these cleats than their eye-catching appearance. From the moment I unboxed them, I was struck by their unique blend of style and substance. The Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly doesn’t just look good; it’s packed with features that transform how you play the game. Innovative design elements like the articulated, three-quarter length Zoom airbag, nestled directly inside the boot’s plate, and the upgraded Vaporposite+ upper material, combine to offer a playing experience that’s as swift and responsive as it is comfortable.

But what makes these cleats more than just a stunning visual treat?

Let’s break down their game-changing features in a quick hitting, summary style!

Nike Zoom Mercurial Superfly Peak Ready Pack Unboxing

Initial Reaction: Nike has revolutionized the Mercurial design, incorporating innovative elements that redefine performance. These boots are visually striking, raising expectations for on-field dynamism.

Breaking In/Comfort: Surprisingly comfortable right out of the box – a refreshing change for the typically snug-fitting Mercurial series. Features like the pliable speed cage and Vaporposite+ upper material contribute to an unexpectedly comfortable fit.

Vaporposite+ Upper Material: A significant upgrade from the previous generation, offering a responsive and tactile experience. This thinner yet durable material enhances ball control at high speeds.

Touch, Control, Shooting: The boots provide a natural feel and clean touch, thanks to the innovative upper. Ideal for players who love to dribble at speed and score goals.

3/4 Zoom Airbag: A revolutionary addition providing a noticeable difference in performance. This feature offers a springy underfoot feel, enhancing movement and creating separation on the field.

Mid Cut Collar: Comfortably fits around the ankle, although it may take a bit of effort to put on and take off initially. Consistent with previous Superfly editions in fit and feel.

A post shared by SoccerCleats101 (@soccercleats101)

Soleplate and Traction: Aggressive Tri-star stud design offers multidirectional traction, perfect for quick changes in direction. However, it may not suit those who prefer a more conservative stud configuration.

Fit: Accommodates a wider range of foot types than previous Mercurials. Suitable for players with medium to wide feet, and potentially a game-changer for those who found previous versions too narrow.

Summary: the Nike Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly, with its stunning new colorway and advanced features, is currently one of the top options we recommend to players who want advanced tech and quality on foot feel. From its comfortable fit to its innovative design elements like the Zoom Airbag and Vaporposite+ upper, these boots are engineered for players who demand the best in performance and style.

As a critic who has been tough on the Mercurial line in the past, I’m excited to declare these among my all-time favorite boots in the series. They’re more than just a visual statement; they’re a testament to Nike’s commitment to innovation and player performance.

1 – FlyTouch Plus: Surprisingly Leather-Like

The heart of the Tiempo Legend 10 is FlyTouch Plus, Nike’s groundbreaking material innovation. Initially, I was skeptical. Could a synthetic really mimic the classic touch of leather? To my surprise, the answer is a confident YES. While it’s not as supple as traditional leather, FlyTouch Plus stands out among synthetics for its fit and feel. As I broke them in, I noticed how the material adapted, increasingly resembling leather’s natural feel. It’s a game-changer, providing that familiar touch on the ball but with the added benefits of a synthetic’s durability and weather resistance.

2 – Lightweight and Water-Resistant: A Dynamic Duo

What sets the Tiempo Legend 10 apart is its astonishingly light build. Thanks to FlyTouch Plus, these are the lightest Tiempos to date. Add to that the material is also significantly less water-retentive, 55% less than its predecessors. This means the cleats retain their shape and efficiency over time, adapting flawlessly to the contours of your feet.

3 – Timeless Style Meets Modern Innovation

Ok, so there is no k-leather. But it is hard to argue Nike’s commitment to tradition, as it again definitely shines through on the Tiempo Legend 10. While embracing the new, these boots pay homage to the Tiempo lineage, preserving the iconic traction pattern synonymous with the series. This blend of classic and contemporary underlines Nike’s devotion to evolving the Tiempo line while respecting its rich heritage.

4 – The Fit: Comfort Meets Precision

When it comes to fit, the Tiempo Legend 10 aligns with Nike’s current offerings, falling right in as true to size. This is obviously a crucial factor for any player eyeing a new pair. What sets them apart, however, is the soft synthetic upper material. This FlyTouch Plus not only offers an initial snug fit but also adapts and stretches through wear, molding to the contours of your feet.

My experience with these boots has been very positive – I absolutely love wearing them. They’ve rapidly ascended to become one of the most comfortable pairs I’ve laced up in recent times. The boot envelops the foot seamlessly, providing a supportive yet un-restrictive enclosure. This adaptability of the material is a significant advantage, accommodating slight variations in foot shape and size, ensuring a personalized fit.

5 – Eco-Conscious Meets Performance

It’s genuinely impressive how Nike has managed to integrate sustainability into these boots without compromising on quality or performance!

The Tiempo Legend 10 represents a significant stride towards environmental responsibility, crafted with at least 20% recycled content. This commitment to sustainability is a standout feature that resonates with me and many other players who are conscious about their ecological footprint. Knowing that choosing these cleats is a step towards a greener planet adds an extra layer of satisfaction to my playing experience.

From a performance standpoint, the use of recycled materials in no way diminishes the quality of the boot. They maintain the high standards Nike is known for, proving that sustainability and performance can indeed go hand in hand.

Ultimately, Should You Buy Them?

If you are on the market for an elite level boot, I’d have to say yes! When you factor in how comfortable they are to wear – like honestly they are one of the most comfortable I’ve worn in recent times – and the touch they provide on the ball, you really can’t go wrong.

You might initially think it’s a bit of a gamble with Nike switching up the upper materials, but let me reassure you: this change doesn’t detract from the boot’s performance. In fact, it might just enhance your playing experience. The FlyTouch Plus synthetic leather, while a departure from traditional materials, offers a surprising similarity to leather in terms of touch.

Nike Mercurial Dream Speed 007 Released

Nike’s latest marvel in soccer footwear, the Mercurial Dream Speed 7, is here to redefine speed on the soccer pitch. This isn’t about secret agents or Hollywood glitz; it’s about pure, unadulterated pace. Inspired by the relentless pursuit of speed by icons like Cristiano Ronaldo, the Dream Speed 7 is more than just a boot; it’s a tribute to those who push their limits to achieve the extraordinary.

The Mercurial Dream Speed series has been making waves since its debut in late 2019, known for its exclusive, high-performance design tailored for Nike’s top-tier players. Now, in its fourth year, the series unveils its seventh iteration, continuing to celebrate the influence and legacy of Ronaldo. The design draws inspiration from the boots that marked CR7’s golden days, particularly reminiscing the “Light Crimson/Pale Ivory/Bright Mandarin” colorway of the Mercurial Vapor IV — the boots in which Ronaldo netted his first hat trick for Manchester United.

This latest edition showcases a stunning color gradient that seamlessly transitions from a fiery red to a vibrant orange, complemented by crisp white accents. The iconic Nike Swoosh stands out, bordered in sharp black, which also features prominently in the x graphic adorning the heel — a symbol of multiplied speed and power.

True to its heritage, the Dream Speed 7 will be donned by a select squad of Nike’s elite athletes, led by none other than Ronaldo himself. Joining him are the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Sam Kerr, Ada Hegerberg, and a host of other global football sensations, each ready to bring their own flair and speed to the game with these exceptional boots.
