Practically all we could see at the World Cup were the Mach Purple/Orange Nike Elite soccer cleats on the feet of the stars sponsored by Nike. Now Nike have come back and released four new colorways for the start of the 2010/11 season.
With the World Cup colorway featuring on all of Nike’s boots, the Mach Purple/Orange became very familiar to those that watched the World Cup. While many people did not like the colorway, it certainly did its job in catching the eyes of fans across the globe. With the start of the 2010/11 season nearly upon us, Nike designers have released four new colorways for the Elite series, which includes the Superfly II, the CTR360 Maestri, the Total90 Laser III, and the Tiempo Legend III. All four colorways are great in my opinion, and you can see whether or not the boots are as well in SER’s upcoming reviews of the Elite series from Nike!

Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly II FG-Bright Cactus/White/Anthracite Firm Ground Soccer Shoes-
Specs:
UPPER: The Vapor Superfly II has an ultra-thin Teijin upper that’s lined with Flywire filaments in a soccer-specific cabling pattern to deliver a precise fit and optimal support.
The composition of the synthetic material has changed to offer better ball feel and be more durable.
INSOLE: The Superfly II has a contoured sockliner with a Superfly EVA insole.
OUTSOLE: Carbon fiber composite plate is the lightest and strongest outsole Nike has to offer. It has a pressure-activated adaptive traction system for speed in all conditions.
The difference between a soft and firm ground stud is 3mm. So Nike has developed a new stud that extends 3 mm when ground is soft for increased toe-off acceleration and traction. These two longer studs in the forefoot also prevent slippage and create the most comfortable feeling Mercurial ever.
These new toe-off traction spikes enable extra speed bursts, just like traditional track spikes.
Traction pad ensures grip no matter which way you move.
