Newest SuperFly Color ways Released

Nike have recently released two new color ways in the SuperFly, which has come at a great time due to the events at hand such as the Gold Cup and the Copa America tournament which are watched by many people around the world because many of the domestic leagues have finished. With these two releases Nike like usual has gone bold with the flash orange and the granite/metallic color way.

I am a fan of both color ways and think both boots will stand out on the pitch. However, before you buy these boots i must warn you that they are very narrow, have a high price point, and are extremely stiff due to the carbon fiber out sole.

For many consumers, including myself I believe the once concept boot known as the superfly is dead. Nike have relied on a change of color and different market tactics in the past couple of months to try to excite fans but many Mercurial fans want something more without the market gimmicks such as the sense studs and they want something that is more innovative and lighter with a better price point. I have heard that the next Vapor will really take the cake and is released Spring 2012 which is right around the corner.
