Nike Presents Spark Brilliance Football Pack

As the year's pivotal football moments approach, Nike Football unveils the Spark Brilliance Pack- Sportscleatscheap.com, which marks the debut of the new Mercurial. The boot, originally previewed at Nike’s Innovation 2016 event, was built as a total speed system and features a new plate mapped to the natural contours of the foot.
“Our approach with the new Mercurial was to challenge all assumptions about speed, merging science with design to build the fastest boot in football,” explains Nike Football Design Lead Jeongwoo Lee. “We designed this boot holistically to ensure it was a true speed system, where all of the materials interlock to produce the most efficient package possible.”

The new Mercurial's anatomical plate is aligned with the natural contours of the foot, eliminating the gap that previously existed underfoot. Additionally, the New Nike Mercurial Superfly Spark Brilliance boot's soleplate is 40% lighter than the carbon fiber plate it replaces, yet it is stronger and more responsive. The traction system of the Mercurial has also been revamped for speed. Nike’s design team tested different variations of cleats, blades, chevrons and other shapes in a variety of traction patterns. For the first time, Nike Football leveraged virtual Finite Element Analysis (FEA) testing, which provided scientific data to identify which traction pattern works best for the speed-focused player, inclusive of linear sprints.
The player synonymous with Mercurial, Cristiano Ronaldo, describes the new plate and traction configuration, stating, “It’s like my attitude. I’m a straightforward and aggressive player. The stud shape reminds me of my character and performs very well on the pitch.”

The Spark Brilliance Pack also marks the return of the original Hypervenom I NikeSkin upper on the HyperVenom II silhouette. “The upper of the Hypervenom II takes a bit longer to break-in than the Hypervenom I,” says Max Blau, VP Nike Football Footwear. “We provide new boots to our professional players so frequently that we shifted to the Hypervenom I material to ease the break-in period. We want all players to have what the best players in the world are wearing, so we are bringing the Hypervenom I upper back,” he concludes.
Magista and Tiempo round out the pack in vibrant hues with volt accents. The new Mercurial will be available beginning May 28 via the Nike Football App, with the remaining Spark Brilliance boots arriving May 29. The entire pack will be available beginning May 31 on Nike.com.

Next-Gen Puma evoSPEED SL II Tricks Euro 2016 Boots Released

Following the differently colored boots concept put to eye-catching use by Puma at the 2014 World Cup, the next-gen Puma evoSPEED SL II Euro 2016 cleats introduce an even more striking look: the right boot is yellow, while the left boot is pink. Weighting in at a mere 107 gram, the cutting-edge Puma evoSPEED SL II boots were officially unveiled on April 20, 2016.
Designed to stand out on the pitch, the extremely bold Puma evoSPEED SL II Tricks football boots are set to be worn at Euro 2016 by the likes of Antoine Griezmann (France) and Marco Reus (Germany). Argentina's Sergio Agüero will be amongst the high-profile players representing the Puma evoSPEED SL II Tricks at Copa America Centenario in the United States.

PUMA EVOSPEED SL II TRICKS - PINK GLO / SAFETY YELLOW / BLACK

This image shows the striking next-gen Puma evoSPEED SL 2 Euro 2016 cleats.

The new Puma evoSPEED SL II cleats introduce one of the boldest football boot designs ever to guarantee maximum on-pitch visibility. While the right shoe of the new Puma evoSPEED SL II Tricks is colored in garish yellow, and the left shoe is pink, both colors fade towards black for the rear half. The Puma and evoSPEED brandings are not only large in size, they really pop thanks to being painted in the same colors as the boots themselves, just applied to the respective other shoe.
Tech-wise, the second-generation Puma evoSPEED SL II boots follow on their much-ridiculed predecessors. And just like the first generation, the new Puma evoSPEED SL 2 boots will only last for a very limited amount of match time. Or as Puma puts it, the Puma evoSPEED SL II is "a special shoe for special moments". Fortunately for Puma enthusiasts with a limited budget, there is also a Puma evoSPEED 1.5 football boot with the same design, but without the extreme construction.
Overall, the technical specifications of the new Puma evoSPEED SL II are similar to those of the first generation. The Nylon sole plate, for one, is the same. It combines bladed and conical studs while featuring an unusual alignment with just three, triangularly aligned cleats at the back.

Although it's again a lightweight, ultra-thin textile material that's used for the upper of the new Puma evoSPEED SL II, the underlying support structure has seen the biggest changes compared to the first-ever Puma evoSPEED SL. It now has a different structure, especially in the forefoot part of the Puma evoSPEED SL 2.

Half pink, half yellow - what do you think of the all-new Puma evoSPEED SL II boots? Let us know in the comments below.

Nike Magista Opus Euro 2016 Boot Leaked

Update: More pictures of the bold Nike Magista Opus Euro 2016 boot have been leaked, check them out below.

The new Nike Magista Obra Euro 2016 football boots introduce an extremely bold design with a dominant fade from the red to yellow. Set to be worn by the likes of Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets at Euro 2016, the red / yellow Nike Magista 2016 cleats will be released in May 2016.
Nike originally launched the first generation of the Nike Magista Opus boots ahead of the 2014 World Cup and will reveal the second-generation Nike Magista Opus II soccer cleats after Euro 2016.

NIKE MAGISTA OPUS - TOTAL CRIMSON / BLACK / VOLT / BRIGHT CITRUS

This image shows the utter boldness of the Nike Magista Euro 2016 boot.

Although based on the well-known silhouette of the Nike Magista Opus, the red / yellow Nike Magista Euro 2016 soccer cleats don't have much in common with the very first releases of the model. Dominated by an eye-catching gradient that connects the Total Crimson top part with the Volt-colored lower part, the Nike Magista Opus Euro 2016 cleat only features subtle offsetting of its trademark honeycomb structure.
Unlike most recent Nike football boots, the striking Nike Magista Opus Euro 2016 soccer shoes don't boast a visible outline to the lateral Swoosh, which is black. The same color is used for the lower part of the outsole of the Nike Magista Euro 2016 boot.

Tech-wise, the Nike Magista football boots haven't really changed between the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016. The Euro 2016 Nike Magista Opus cleats feature a leather-like Kangalite upper with ACC (All Conditions Control) technology for improved ball control under all conditions. The sole plate of the Nike Magista Euro 2016 shoes is designed to allow for better rotational agility with conical studs.

Nike will also unveil a Nike Magista Obra Euro 2016 boot. Featuring the same colorway, the Nike Magista Obra Euro 2016 soccer cleats boast a standout heightened Dynamic Fit collar and a Flyknit upper. They will be worn by the likes of Mario Gotze and Blaise Matuidi at Euro 2016.

CLOSER LOOK | NIKE MERCURIAL SUPERFLY CR7 CHAPTER 2

The second of seven is a sparkling sensation as Nike turn to chapter two of the Cristiano Ronaldo Superfly series. It's two down, five to go as we jump in for a closer look at the boot inspired by CR7's first step away from home on the long road to stardom.

The new 'Natural Diamond' design followed on from the first chapter, that paid to tribute to Ronaldo's place of birth, Madeira. The 'Savage Beauty' got the new CR7 series rolling in October last year and now Nike have moved onto the second stage of Cristiano Ronaldo's life, described by the man himself as his most difficult time. Chapter Two focuses on Ronaldo’s move away from home as a 12-year-old child to pursue his dream of becoming a professional footballer.

Wrapped in beautiful shades of metallic blue, the second chapter of Ronaldo's seven part boot series takes its 'Natural Diamond' title from the player's relentless determination and how he's forged his game through hard work over the years. The struggles of leaving home at such a young age are represented on the heel of the boot, which is designed to look rocky and rough, indicating the first few steps in his career. As the boot moves along to the forefoot, it smoothens out to represent Ronaldo's journey to global domination.

Playing further on the 'Natural Diamond' theme, Nike have added a sparkle to the 'CR7' branding on the heel and Swoosh that adorns the upper, giving the whole boot an added sense of exclusivity, a one-of-a-kind vibe that is mirrored by the player that will wear them. Just two boots in and it's already apparent that the full seven boot CR7 series is going to be one of football's most desirable collections. If the seventh is to be Ronaldo's last, it's the perfect way to round off a signature line for one of the world's greatest.

Close-up picture of Cristiano Ronaldo's Custom Nike Mercurial Superfly Cleats.

This is the new Hyper Pink Nike Mercurial Superfly Cleat.
The new Hyper Pink Nike Mercurial Superfly Summer 2015 Cleats are entirely pink with a black outlined Swoosh and a dark pink carbon fibre sole plate.
The pink Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots offer the same technologies as the first Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots. Made for speed, the cutting-edge Nike Mercurial Superfly Football Boots feature a knitted upper with a ultra-thin layer of NikeSkin and All Conditions Control. Nike's trademark Dynamic Fit collar is made for a sock-like fit.


Based on the Hyper Pink Nike Mercurial Superfly Lightning Storm Pack Boots, Cristiano Ronaldo's custom pink Nike Mercurial Superfly Soccer Cleats feature a much lower Dynamic Fit collar than the regular version of the Nike Mercurial Superfly Cleats. Interestingly, the right collar of his shoe seems to be even lower than the left collar.

Cristiano Ronaldo wears the SG-Pro version of the Hyper Pink Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots, similar to most pro-players. Apart from the lower Dynamic Fit collar and the CR7 writing on the outstep, Cristiano Ronaldo's Boots are identical to the retail version.

Cristiano Ronaldo had been training in old Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots until August 11, and also wore the Volt Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots in all pre-season friendlies. The Portuguese striker is set to debut the pink Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots in the last pre-season friendly against Galatasaray.

It's quite interesting to note that various Nike players lace up in modified boots with a lower Dynamic Fit collar, including FC Bayern Munich midfielder Arturo Vidal and Real Madrid's midfielder Isco.
