Consider This the Sequel to the Nike HTM Free Mercurial Superfly

Nike Sportswear helps a soccer model make the street transition once again.

by Brendan Dunne

The new Nike Footscape Magista pairs an upper with last year's World Cup-winning Magista boot with a chunky Footscape (Motion) style tooling.

This equation should feel familiar, as the Nike HTM Free Mercurial Superfly last year did very much the same thing as far as pairing a cutting-edge upper from the brand's soccer footwear with a classic piece of Nike tooling on bottom. And like the HTM Free Mercurial Superfly before it, this pair starts off its life with a rather plain colorway that's a far cry from the volts usually associated with the Magista. The Next Door in France already sold out of their Footscape Magista stock, but here's to hoping a U.S. release date arrives soon.
