hi Jacob unisport webtv and today it's
finally time to review the Nike
Mercurial Superfly which Nike se is made
for explosive speed and to be honest
with you guys I've had really high
expectations for the Superfly but the
question is can it live up to them well
stick around and find out so as you may
know the Superfly is made to remove
distractions and give you a seamless
sensation by utilizing a flying it upper
and this iconic dynamic fit color but
putting on this Superfly might seem a
bit difficult at first because of the
dynamic fit color but once you get the
hang of it it's actually not that
difficult see pretty easy but once you
get the Superfly on your feet you can
really feel that it's made using 90s v12
last simply because it's pretty narrow
under the mid-foot and has got a pretty
low and pointy toe box so the fit is
really tight
all over your foot especially if you've
got a wide foot in which case the
Superfly might not be for you but it's a
bit more forgiving than the earlier
incarnations off the material now the
v12 last also means that the Superfly
runs a quarter to half a size long so
keep that in mind when you're choosing
your size and maybe consider going down
half a size if you want the tightest fit
possible now the fact that it runs a bit
long means that I have a bit of space at
the front of the boot which is a bit of
a shame and I hope that Nike had
adjusted that on the v12 last for the
new Superfly
[Music]
now speaking about the fit the Superfly
is but let's say it it's awesome because
the finite upper is so thin and so
extremely soft that it really wraps your
foot and Hoxton basically like it was
made for your foot it feels a bit like a
thin sock because there are no
distractions and no extra space now
combining that with the dynamic fit
color it really makes your foot feel
more free simply because there is no
tongue and no distractions on the upper
part of your foot and I think that some
people out there might feel that this is
a bit restrictive and it was for me too
to be honest but once I started getting
used to the fact that there is material
on this part of the foot I actually
started to like it a lot adding to this
close to the foot sensation are the real
cables because when you pull the laces
tight you can really feel them wrapping
your foot almost like a seat belt and
keeping your foot in place on the
soleplate and it makes the superfly feel
really responsive because the lockdown
is so good now if I had to say something
I would like a bit more lockdown on the
outside of the boot simply to keep my
foot even firmer on this whole plate
when I'm changing directions with a lot
of force because it can tend to slide
just a little bit when doing that but
it's a minor detail and it works fine
without it now the material isn't
exactly known for its mind-blowing
comfort but to be honest with you I
actually think the Superfly
is comfortably not in a thick padded
slipper like classic comfortable way but
more enough I'm not wearing anything
with kind of weight and when it comes to
the protection well there isn't much
protection but I guess that's kind of
the trade-off you have to live with in a
thin football boot like this
right the new Superfly also meant the
return of the carbon fiber soleplate but
this time it's a - instead of a three
layer composite and I gave really worked
hard to make the soleplate more flexible
based on feedback from the pro players
who wanted the new material to be more
comfortable than the earlier generations
and luckily this added flexibility also
means that the new Superfly is indeed
far more comfortable but then again it
also means that the soleplate is a
little less stiff and springy
than the earlier versions now that is a
bit of a new direction for the Superfly
and the carbon fiber soleplate but while
you do get a little less of the
aggressive snapback when you bend your
foot the Superfly is also a much
smoother ride and it is an inevitable
trade-off with comfort and stiffness in
a carbon fiber soleplate that's just the
way it is at the moment
now another change comes to the star
configuration with nike going back to
four starts in the heel and adding
another stud under the forefoot and
especially the front four studs are
awesome when it comes to accelerating
simply because they allow you to
transfer a lot of energy to the ground
really fast and efficiently and they
work well whether you want to accelerate
in basically any direction they really
allow me to push off with a lot of force
it just gives me the confidence that I'm
not going to slip simply because the
grip is so good and to me the material
Superfly is hands-down the best stock
configuration out there when it comes to
speed there's no contest now when it
comes to the touch the thing flying in
Dover comes into play again because you
get a really precise touch on the ball
where you can feel almost everything you
do and it's really close to a bare foot
light sensation we just a little bit
amount of padding now I have to be
honest that I was expecting a really
thin upper in the Superfly perhaps the
thinnest Nike offer ever made and while
it's very very thin and really good I
think it's pretty much comparable
to the thickness of the hypervenom and
the vapor nine upper right as always
ACC works without a bust no questions
asked there but the night is skin on the
planet this actually also has been
attacking especially in the dry which
gives you a bit more friction and
therefore a grip on the ball and it
feels pretty good when you're dribbling
because it sticks a bit more to the ball
and say the vapor nine when it comes to
shooting the Superfly is as no-nonsense
as ever and what I mean by that is that
there are no distractions between your
foot and the ball whatsoever so it is a
very straightforward experience shooting
and passing with the Superfly and also
the toe box is very low so there are no
issues getting under the bone which I
happen to like a lot so I had really
high expectations about the Superfly and
I have to say it dually delivers
especially on the fit part which in my
opinion is one of the best on the market
at the moment
and is really where the true revolution
lies in the Superfly but having said
that even though the Superfly is a good
pool it might not be for everyone
because it is a very special and unique
viewing to put them on but what do you
actually think about the current
Superfly is it something for you well
you can let me know in the comment
section below because this was all I had
for you for today but I'll see you later
on can use but whether to be signing off
[Music]
now as a fan of speed boots I am sold on
the Superfly but there is a small butt
sweat because as you play and you start
to sweat the dynamic fit color will
start to smell just a little bit and it
might annoy some of you and I wasn't
completely able to remove the odor with
just water so I took this bio spray
that's designed to eliminate the odor
and shake it well spray it on and it'll
actually take away some of the smell
