For the release of the video game "FIFA 17", the US equipment supplier Nike has launched a limited edition football boot from the Mercurial Superfly range, in collaboration with the American video game publisher EA Sports, on 20/09/2016.

"In 1994, EA SPORTS launched a football video game that transformed the way players connect with the sport. The game and its graphics have evolved over the years, as has its popularity. Every day, over 3 million players around the world take to the virtual pitch." said Nike. The design of the boot, named the "Nike Mercurial X EA Sports", "highlights the progression from the 16-bit graphics of ‘94 to today’s high definition output." said the US supplier.

The "Nike Mercurial X EA Sports" boots will be marketed on Nike.com from 26/09/2016. Each of the 1,500 limited edition boots produced will be numbered on the heel.
