Collaged Cleat Designs

The Nike Mercurial Superfly IV "What The" Combines 16 Past Colorways

The Nike Mercurial Superfly IV "What The" is fitting the crazy collection. It pays tribute to the previous 16 designs of this cleat by showcasing all of the colorways on one shoe. Although it looks more like an art piece -- one that embraces the collage technique -- it is a limited edition design a few people would want to get their hands on.

In addition to the rainbow of patterns that span the upper, the heel tab and aglets of the Nike Mercurial Superfly IV "What The" have been branded with the four Mercurial logos to date. Only 3000 of this visually striking shoe has been produced and are set to released on the Nike Football app in a few days.
