The Nike Free Mercurial Superfly Men’s Shoe remasters Cristiano Ronaldo’s signature shoe— the first in a series of player-inspired footwear from Nike F.C.
The shoe’s Flyknit and leather upper provides lightweight support and a snug, sock-like fit, while Flywire cables provide an adaptive, locked-down feel, perfect for everyday street-wear. A flexible Nike Free sole helps to promote natural movement, while the injected air-sole unit makes for an ultralight, cushioned ride. Flex grooves on the outsole promote natural movement and strategically-placed rubber pods provide the ultimate in durability.

NIKE FREE ORIGINS
After learning that Stanford athletes had been training barefoot on the university’s golf course, three of Nike’s most innovative and creative employees set out to develop a shoe that felt natural and weightless, similar to bare feet. The team spent eight years studying the biomechanics of runners’ feet in motion. The results yielded a profound understanding of the foot’s natural landing angle, pressure and toe position, allowing Nike designers to build an unconventional and flexible running shoe from the inside out.
