Nike Hypervenom Phelon Junior TF Hyper Crimson White

The Superfly is back again, stronger than ever. The Nike Mercurial Superfly is tailored for speed and takes the Mercurial silo into a brand new era.

Nike have equipped the Mercurial Superfly with an upper made of the lush and flexible Flyknit material. The material, which is also found on the Magista Obra, provides an unforeseen comfort and fit. As soon as you stick your foot into the Superfly, you will feel your foot become one with the boot, as if you were pulling on a pair of socks. But it is not just the Flyknit upper that provides a sock-like fit. Nike have also removed the tongue and instead equipped the boot with their Dynamic Fit Collar. It continues up the ankle, so the boot is not just a part of your foot, but actually both you foot, ankle and calf.

In order to generate even more touch and ball grip, the Flyknit upper has a Nike Skin cover, as well as a 0,1 mm thin ACC silicone layer. This results in a 3D-like texture that creates friction between boot and ball, which you will benefit from when dribbling at high speed, but also in connection with your passes and strikes.

To ensure that the upper does not collapse and also to provide good stability in the boot, Nike have woven the brio-cables into the upper. The Brio-cables serve to keep your foot in place inside the boot and help provide the unique fit that you get from the Superfly. Furthermore, the Brio-cables will react to even the smallest movement, which results in a more optimal use of your speed.

A Mercurial Superfly would not be complete without a carbon fibre sole and Nike are not letting us down. The sole is made of a two-layer carbon fibre material. The carbon material makes the Superfly very flexible in certain areas of the sole, while also following the natural flex of your foot, and hereby Nike have ensured that you will have rigidity and flexibility right where you need it.
The Mercurial series is also known for its bladed studs that help you accelerate. These are naturally also found on the new Superfly and the stud configuration further helps your aggressive direction changes and adds to your explosive speed in all directions.

The Mercurial silo is moving into a new era ¨C do you dare not to follow?

Weight: 193 gram

With FG studs for firm ground surfaces such as grass.

We managed to get our hands on one of Nike’s latest turf specific shoes this week, and although they are not the top tier release (that goes to the Bomba Finale II) these boots have a lot to offer. In fact, these shoes sit at a much more attainable price-point and as a result sell more units.

The Nike Bomba Pro II features a full grain leather upper that provides a very similar feel on the ball to other soccer cleats on the market. It is soft and flexes easily under touch. Through the midfoot to heel, Nike use a mesh material to lower the weight of the boot. The tongue is created with similar intent, as a single layer design provides just enough protection under the lacing system. In turn, this produces a boot that weighs in around the 9.7oz mark.

Going back to the mesh on the upper, normally this would be placed to allow for an airy feel and more breathability. I can’t say that this is the case with the Bomba Pro as the inner portion of the boot is lined with leather. As a result, its main purpose is to lower the weight of the boot while adding a different style.

The Nike Bomba Pro II is currently?available at Soccer.com?for $79.99.

Conical Studs, Oblong Studs

The real reason many players will be considering these shoes is based on the sole and the configuration used. Conical studs are used for quick rotation to help aid the rapid turns made in small-sided games, while oblong studs help provide excellent traction and stability on turf surfaces. I am a huge fan of Nike’s efforts to create turf specific configurations and having worn these a few times they have again got it right. The primary different between these and an FG boot is the fact these are lower to the ground and as a result you feel more stable on your feet without losing out on traction.

UNBOXED – The 360 View

Nike Bomba Finale II

For those wondering how these differ from the more expensive Bomba Finale II, there is actually a lot more technology included in the latter. The Bomba Finale II boasts 27 percent fewer components than the initial Bomba Finale release, creating a softer and more flexible shoe that is also 10 percent lighter. The Bomba Finale II is also equipped with new ¡®NIKESKIN¡¯ technology, a polyurethane skin layered over performance mesh and they have a closer, stitch-free fit. In addition, the Nike Bomba Finale II features Nike¡¯s All Conditions Control (ACC) technology for consistent ball control in dry and wet conditions.

Realistically, the Bomba Finale II is a mush more advanced shoe and in conversation I would probably recommend them first. But in terms of value, you are definitely getting bang for your buck with the Bomba Pro II. In other words, don’t disregard this featured boot simply because the higher priced boot packs more technology. The key to these boots is the sole and configuration; you get the same design on both boots. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with the soft, supple leather upper.

Anyone worn these yet or have additional feedback to offer other players who might be interested in a pair? If so, share your thoughts in the comment section below.
