Description:
The
Nike Mercurial SL is made almost entirely of carbon fibre and so weighs a meagre 190 grams. Until this point a carbon fibre boot had never been created before. The Nike Mercurial SL will be Nike's most lightweight, most highly responsive yet flexible and strong football boots to date.
Designed in the style of a concept car - to lead innovation, to drive new ideas, to push the boundaries in design and engineering, the development process for the Nike Mercurial SL took 3 years, spanning four continents.
The futuristic boot is specifically designed to cater for the fastest football players on the planet, and as such will be primarily worn by Chelsea’s Didier Drogba and Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo. Only 2000 pairs of the
Nike SL have been produced and as a limited edition football boot available from Pro Direct Soccer, it is likely to become one of the most sought after football boots on the market.
