The navy pair of the Nike HTM Free Mercurial Superfly is releasing after all.
The shoe first showed up this week on the feet of international football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who had the shoe on during the press conference leading up to his recent FIFA Ballon d'Or award. The sneaker isn't exactly the same as previous pairs in terms of the materials–the back end has suede instead of the standard leather. On top of that, the shoe skips out on the HTM branding for the pull tab, despite the fact that the box labels it as an HTM shoe. The source on this one, T Blake, says that this shoe will release at the end of January.
