Nike Vapor Superfly III

Here is a close up look of the Super Fly III. Not sure why it is labeled as the next Super Fly because after seeing images around the net, the boot looks like a mirror image of the second version of this Nike elite boot. The boot still has fly wire, sense studs, and carbon fiber outsole.

Only time will tell footy fans. In my opinion, this series needs to be revamped by the Nike development team. The boot has not changed in the past two years and Nike Football fans are ready for something else/new.

Is the Nike Superfly dead?

With adidas releasing the prime at a somewhat high price at $300 Nike and the rest of the vapor series have taken a back seat in the innovation kitchen. In my opinion, the superfly is dead and to increase demand for the boots I think Nike need to look within and more specifically brand Jordan. Make the superfly that boot that is released in crazy cool color ways but make it a limited launch and maybe only the first 1000 consumers get a pair. Why use this business model? Well if I remember from economics you need to have demand for a product to be a successful company. By limiting the amount sold it will increase demand... In the end, the superfly is old news, mercurial fans are ready for the next best thing to hit the pitch from Nike. If Nike has cards to play they better play them soon because once the prime comes out next month everyone and anyone will be wearing those boots. Its simple to buy them, as a consumer you are purchasing the lightest boot in the game, there are no negatives to that.

Do you guys like the superfly, what are your impressions/experiences with this boot?

Nike Vapor Superfly III

Keep in mind that these are just hand made samples, but from the looks of it Nike will stick with the same design  on the next release of the Superfly series. Besides a change in the color which is expected from Nike it looks like this boot will come in three different colors, include Nike sense studs, fly wire, carbon fiber out sole and teijin microfiber leather.


Changes/Profitability for Superfly III:

• Take away the Nike sense studs; great idea but poor execution. If the pros are not wearing it then there must be stud pressure, poor traction, etc.
• Make a leather/kanga lite version of the boot. Bring something different to the table.
• Put together a hybrid boot which consists of multiple vapors of the past. Have spoken with many elite players and some of the best vapors in the mercurial silo were the I, II, III version of the boot. 
• Make a hyrbid version of the vapor with the Tiempo lite series.
• Drop the price, the hype has faded and there is no longer a demand for a $400 boot.

Dear footy fans,

I know a lot of people along with me have been excited about the teaser images/info released by adidas in the recent weeks. It has created a lot of hype that i believe However, I am excited to see what Nike has up their sleeves and I have found some pictures to confirm that the boots for 2011 that I have touched on in recent posts like the Superfly III, Tiempo IV and Tiempo IV ELITE are in fact in the works and expected to hit stores this coming summer and fall with what looks to be new color schemes/boots.
