What Is the Nike Mercurial?

The Nike Mercurial is Nike's speed boot: a football boot built for acceleration, touch and quick changes of pace. It has been the boot of choice for some of the quickest players in the game, from Ronaldo Nazário to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Today the line comes in two models. The Superfly is built for explosive acceleration and straight-line sprints. The Vapor is lighter and tuned for sharp cuts and changes of direction in tight spaces. Both are made in several levels, with Elite at the top and Academy below it, and in soleplates for different surfaces: firm ground (FG), artificial grass (AG) and soft ground (SG).

The History of the Nike Mercurial

The first Mercurial arrived at the 1998 World Cup in France, on the feet of Ronaldo Nazário. It was built around one idea, speed, and every generation since has chased the same goal: less weight, more touch and a faster first step.

In 2014 the Superfly changed shape. Cristiano Ronaldo unveiled a version with a Flyknit upper and the high Dynamic Fit collar, a sock-like cuff that wrapped the ankle and became the Superfly's signature for more than a decade. The newest Superfly drops that collar and returns to a low cut, so the two lines now differ in how they are tuned for speed rather than in height. Earlier collared Superfly models suit players who like the ankle wrapped.

Why the Nike Mercurial Matters

Few football boots carry the same weight off the pitch. Mercurial releases often arrive as limited packs and player editions, and the Cristiano Ronaldo CR7 boots in particular have become pieces people collect as well as play in.
