Dedicated to the elements of design and innovation, the team at Nike Lab is back with another groundbreaking shoe inspired by the benefits of performance football and powered by Nike's most celebrated technologies.

The Nike Free Mercurial Superfly by HTM is an everyday take on the newly released Mercurial Superfly boot. Nike stayed true to the boot’s performance benefits of fit, heightened sense of feel and natural motion, but outfitted it with tech to make it an everyday sneaker. Maintaining the Flyknit upper gives the shoe a sock-like fit, but Nike opted for a higher cut with an integrated ankle cuff that eliminates distraction and enhances reaction. To make it an daily wear, Nike swapped the cleated outsole for a flexible Free sole making it even lighter and more supportive. The glowing Volt colorway here channels the feel of the World Cup in Brazil this summer, and pays homage to the boots the shoe was inspired by.

The Nike Free Mercurial Superfly by HTM will be available at the Nike Lab and online beginning July 12.
