Limited to 1000 Pairs world-wide, Designed completely around the full length Zoom strobel unit, the Mercurial Air Zoom Ultra SE continues to push the boundaries of the game while listening to the voice of Nike athletes. With a goal of creating a one-of-a-kind boot, the Nike team experimented with a few of the best footwear innovations across the company and put them into this design.
