New Nike Colourways Spotted Across Europe Ahead Of The Opening Champions League Group Stage Fixtures.
Ahead of the official launch of the Nike Fall ’14 collection (coming tomorrow), Nike endorsed players including Raheem Sterling, Sergio Ramos and Luca Modric have been spotted training in their new-look Nike colourways. The Mercurial, Magista, HyperVenom and Tiempo will each receive their first seasonal update of the 2014/15 season, with the collection expected to make a its debut outing in the opening Champions League group stage fixtures from tomorrow.
Raheem Sterling was spotted at Liverpool’s Melwood training ground today wearing the upcoming Nike Mercurial Superfly IV colourway, officially labelled “Laser Orange/White/Black”. The release will be Nike’s fourth in the Mercurial Superfly IV series, following on from the “Stealth Pack” and “Electric Green” editions. We were given our first on-feet look the Mercurial Superfly’s next colourway last week thanks to Roma forward Juan Manuel Iturbe.
The Nike Mercurial Vapor X has also been given the same “Laser Orange/White/Black” treatment, seen above on the feet of Benfica’s Enzo Perez ahead of their Champions League tie against Zenit Saint Petersburg. The “Laser Orange” colourway will also be worn in the Champions League by Nike players including Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Franck Ribery and Eden Hazard, who all chose the second-tier Vapor X ahead of the Mercurial Superfly IV.
The new HyperVenom Phantom colourway, officially titled “Hyper Crimson/White/Atomic Orange”, might no be too much of a departure from the “Hyper Punch” editions, but remain another strong update to Nike’s second longest serving boot in their four-silo collection. Seen above on the feet of Benfica’s Anderson Talisca, the boots have already been worn competitively by Neymar and will be worn in the Champions League this week by the likes of Danny Welbeck and Robert Lewandowski.
The new Tiempo Legend V colourway makes arguable the biggest statement of the collection, dropping in a “Neo Turquoise/White/Hyper Crimson” colourway. The striking combination of “Neo Turquoise” and “Hyper Crimson” takes advantage of the boots double layer upper construction to create the most stand-out Legend V boot yet. The Tiempo still boasts a huge player uptake and will be worn in the Champions League by Tiempo regulars Sergio Ramos, Gerard Pique and Andrea Pirlo.
Let us know what you think of the new Nike Fall '14 colourways. Stay tuned for the official release that will also include a "Hyper Turquoise/White/Laser Orange" Magista update.
