The next-generation Nike Mercurial Superfly & Vapor football boots introduce an all-new 360° Flyknit construction that eliminates the soleplate altogether. In fact, the boot just comes with two separate plates in the front and the back.

"This new innovation hugs the foot and eliminates the gaps between the foot and the soleplate. In fact, it eliminates the soleplate altogether,” explains Max Blau, VP of Nike Football Footwear."

Some weeks ago, the all-new construction of the Nike Mercurial 360 2018 boots already caused controversy after the cleats of Eren Derdiyok were extremely bent, causing nearly a horror injury.
