Everything you attempt feels incredibly clean. By keeping you so close to the ball, it tempts you to try and take on the entire opposing team. When you start dribbling, the SuperFly practically demands you to bring out all your tricks and flicks to the party. In today’s market, the SuperFly showcases one of the closest touches you can get on the ball, and it will drive all the players hunting that “barefoot” sensation absolutely crazy. Where past SuperFly boots also had a bit of a plastic-esque coating on the upper that always kept the boot slightly removed from being the elusive “barefoot,” the VII has only a thin layer (super thin) of NikeSkin on top of the knit. This all comes from Nike combining different knits into the primary layer of material in the boot so that it stays thin while providing: comfort, structure, responsiveness, and a super crisp feel on the ball. Your first run-out in your new boots showcases a boot that feels much thinner on your feet than it looked in your hand. If you stumbled on our Vapor 13 review, then you shouldn’t be very surprised by how much we enjoyed our time with the newest SuperFly.

If you’ve wandered into the waters of Nike’s biggest headliner, then you’re hitting the pitch with an identity that you’re there to be respected, to be victorious, and to dominate. With the SuperFly, there’s no hiding in the background or feeling doubt when faced with a 1v1 situation. There are few boots whose play style is almost synonymous with the boot. Don’t care for all that? The blackout still has all the same design, but nobody can spot it without taking a dangerously close look at your new wheels. Everything from “Nike Football” written in different languages, to motivational phrases, to the iconic “Just Do It.” This boot cannot deny its creator. The one thing that really has seen a change with this boot is the wealth of Nike related callouts that sit on most of the bottom half of the upper. Buy your boot based on the sponsored player? We have even been graced with a Cristiano Ronaldo signature colorway. A collector? Try a limited edition orange/white/black combo for anyone wanting the SF on their display shelf instead of the field. Not your style? How about a blue/white combo that will appeal to anyone wanting their SuperFly to stand out. A blackout colorway for purists and anyone that wants their incredibly slim-lined boots to appear bulky from far away (what type of magic makes every blackout boot look this way from distance?). We have already seen several colorways, and there’s been everything possibly available for every type of fan. The collar looked identical to what we had seen on the SuperFly VI, so we weren’t quite sure whether we really had a new boot on our hands, outside of a new name, of course. The FlyKnit pattern might look different up close, but that could be mostly cosmetic.

The long: early images and even our first few moments with this boot had us thinking that Nike had done one really ramped up copy+paste job with the release of the newest SuperFly. However, after we raved about the newest Vapor and with the market covered with viable options for your upcoming season, is the SuperFly VII able to still hold sway over the masses? Or, has the emperor truly lost his clothes? THE LOOK From carbon fibre, to FlyWire, to FlyKnit, to the newest SuperFly VII, there’s never been a single moment where this boot’s lifespan would invoke the word “shy.” A boot that, even when it wasn’t the most comfortable, best performer, or even one of the best boots on the market, could capture imaginations and send boot fans scrambling to empty their wallets. In soccer footwear, the outstanding Nike Mercurial SuperFly has always been the showiest of creatures.įrom inception to date, each iteration has been awash with tech, colorways, and a look that screams for the crowds to stop and stare. Other animals display impressive plumage, bright colors, or even just bulk themselves up to appear more intimidating. A lion is synonymous with its massive mane, giving it a constant connection to being king of the jungle. In the wild, there are several species of animals that demonstrate their dominance over other creatures, or simply other sources of competition within their own species, with wild displays.
