NIKE ZOOM MERCURIAL SUPERFLY 9 ELITE MDS FG

Cristiano Ronaldo wouldn’t be the competitor he is without setbacks. Made for those obsessed with the game, this version of the Superfly 9 Elite has disruptive ripples that signify the sagas we endure while energetic greens represent the breakthrough that arises when we overcome obstacles. You also get a soccer-specific Air Zoom unit, so you can put the pedal down in the waning minutes of a match&mdashwhen it matters most.

UPPER: The upper is made of Vaporposite+, which combines a grippy, grid mesh with a premium lining for optimal ball control at high speeds. The lining provides a tactile feel across the surface of the upper. It’s soft, but stable and wraps tightly around your foot. The pliability offers a more natural on-ball feel for dribbling, passing or scoring.

MIDSOLE: Flyknit wraps your ankle in soft, stretchy fabric for a secure feel. A redone design improves the fit, so that it better simulates the foot. The result is a more contoured toe box and better fit in the heel. The speed cage inside of the structure is made of a thin but strong material that secures the foot to the outsole without adding weight.

OUTSOLE: The 3/4-length Air Zoom unit sits in the outsole and provides another level of springy underfoot feel that helps you move fast on the field. Tri-star studs provide multidirectional traction with every step, so you can change directions quickly and confidently. Heel studs provide traction and stability when braking. Toe-off center studs give you traction during quick starts.
