New Nike Mercurial Air Zoom Ultra

Nike gives us a clue as to where Mercurial is headed with this special, super-limited edition of its speed silo.

23 March 2022 - Written by David del Río
Is Mercurial a classic football boot? It depends on what we mean by classic. If we are referring to how long it has been around, then yes, of course it is. Furthermore, if we compare the aesthetics of a current Mercurial to that of the first release of this silo, we will agree that the similarities are obvious, which has allowed the model to have an essence that few football boots have today.

But if we relate the classic concept to the absence of technology, it is clear that Nike Mercurial football boots take a step aside, searching for another adjective to cling to. Because this silo is synonymous with innovation, with always going one step further in search of something that no one else can offer, and anyone who has ever tried a pair of Mercurials in their life knows exactly what I am talking about.

Now Nike presents a super special and super limited edition, which gives us some clues about what the brand is working on to continue evolving its main asset in terms of sales. The new Nike Mercurial Air Zoom Ultra football boots are not named by chance, as this is the name of the main new feature these boots bring us. Air Zoom is a technology introduced by the American brand in some of the soles of its products that acts as cushioning. Although we had already seen this technology applied to football boots, this time the swoosh brand surprises us by applying it to the entire plate of these Nike Mercurials, something we had never seen before in the world of football.

And it seems to work, or at least that's what our product specialist Ander Torres says in the detailed review he carried out a few days ago on our YouTube channel, where he was able to test the boot on the pitch for a morning and, after doing so, he told us absolutely everything he felt about Nike's latest creation. 

Moving on to the rest of the boot, we still have something similar to the current Mercurial. We start with a one-piece upper, where breathable mesh stands out as the main material. Something striking is that, due to the fragility of this mesh and having tested its abrasion resistance, Nike has introduced a reinforcement in the toe area to prevent the upper from breaking when kicking the ball or coming into contact with the surface we are playing on.

As for the design, you only have to look at the photos to see the work of art we're talking about. White takes centre stage in this special edition, which also features black on the sides and, of course, a gradient from coral to turquoise that adds a touch of colour and cheer to these Nike football boots.

Finally, we come to the worst part of this story, which is that if you've made it this far it's because you're now considering the possibility of getting your hands on a pair of these gems turned into football boots, and that's not going to be possible. This was a super limited edition of 1,000 pairs worldwide, of which we only had access to 15, which sold out in less than 60 seconds on our website. It's a shame as we didn't even get the chance to try on a pair of these Nike Mercurial Air Zoom Ultra football boots.
