Shimmering Soccer Shoes

The Elastico Superfly IC SE is Designed For Small-Sided Soccer

— February 6, 2015 — Fashion
The Elastico Superfly IC SE is a small-sided soccer shoe that features the shimmering effect made famous on Cristiano Ronaldo's signature Mercurial Superfly CR7 boots. These shoes are sheathed in an extra layer of NIKESKIN for increased durability. A micro-textured Nike Flyknit upper enables players to enjoy a touch reminiscent of playing barefoot.

Soccer is truly a unique sport in that it can be played in so many different environments. Over time this has led to highly distinct cultures for different kinds of soccer, from the regular 11-a-side-on-grass game to street soccer, cage soccer and organized indoor five-a-side.

The Elastico Superfly IC SE, despite being designed for the five-a-side player, bears the breathtaking shimmering effect of the Mercurial Superfly CR7 boots, thereby reminding wearers that every one is a superstar in their own right.
