Nike’s latest football boots, the Mercurial Cosmic Speed, are turning heads with their otherworldly flair! Available in limited numbers, these boots feature a never-before-seen iridescent graphic that shimmers with cosmic brilliance.

The outsole dazzles with a metallic effect thanks to a cutting-edge process called Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), which uses a vacuum technique to apply sleek, thin metal colourways to the fabric.

Decked out in a striking iridescent gold and black presentation, these boots are primed to be the choice of the game’s swiftest and most formidable attackers. Both the Vapor and Superfly models boast a lighter, thinner Flyknit upper, delivering enhanced rebound energy and a natural feel with optimised plate flexibility—perfect for making those lightning-fast moves on the pitch!

She previously played for Carlisle City and Stanwix Ladies before swapping her boots for a whistle. Now an FA-qualified referee, she spends her time officiating for Newcastle United’s academy as well as your typical Sunday league, channelling her inner Anthony Taylor on weekends (but without the VAR controversies). Since joining the team in 2023, Tasha has crowned herself the resident expert on all things sport and fashion. Whether she's ranking questionable kits or offering insight into trending trainers, her observations are sharp, insightful, and on point. She's got a knack for finding the perfect blend of performance and style—just don’t ask her to pick a favourite Premier League kit of the season unless you're ready for a heated debate.
