Australian soccer star Sam Kerr has been sidelined with a torn ACL since January 2024, but as the Women’s Super League season gets set to start next month, the Chelsea FC striker is fully healed and itching to get back in action. She’s also ready to hit the pitch in style, debuting a new Nike Zoom Mercurial Superfly 10 Elite FG PE.
Kerr brought out an on-trend gradient pattern for the custom colorway, mixing a sherbet palette of cotton candy blue in the heel that blends shades of yellow, orange, and pink across the sides, getting lighter until it turns white on the toe to match the ankle collar. Kerr’s SK initials are printed onto the heel, matching the signature logo featured on the back of Kerr’s Field General colorway released earlier this summer.
The Superfly 10 is the same soccer cleat remixed by Kylian Mbappé earlier this year, but that’s just a sliver of the special edition work being done by the Nike Soccer team. An Erling Haaland Phantom 6 PE dropped last week, a Vini Jr. Mercurial colorway was released in the spring, and Patta teased a Mercurial collab that we’re still waiting for more info on. Kerr’s Player Edition Superfly 10 will be available for goal scorers from the pros to youth leagues, releasing in both adult and kid sizes.
The Sam Kerr x Nike Zoom Mercurial Superfly 10 FG will be released Fall 2025 through select Nike retailers in-store and online, but we can almost guarantee you’ll see them on foot sooner when Kerr makes her long-awaited return to the pitch in September. Retail pricing for the PE is set at $290 in adult sizes and $80 in kids' sizes.
