When the original DreamSpeed collection came out in late 2019,it was an eye catcher, to say the least. It was only meant for 3 football players in the world, that too the Elite models. Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe and the only female player in the world to hold the honor of having these boots, Sam Kerr. There was only one reason for these boots… for speed. That is why the Mercurial series exists in the first place. Not raw power or agile prowess. Just pure speed.
The color choice: Why the flashy colors?
This is the first question which may come to ur mind. ‘What the hell is wrong with Nike for choosing this colorway? The answer is simple. To confuse the players. Or to be more accurate, hypnotize them. The Head Designer for the DreamSpeed 2 stated ‘There was a huge debate on the color choice of the boot, the majority of them being to stick to the dark colors of the first boot. But then the 3 players the boot was meant for came into the room. They wanted to see the situation of the boots. These boots were inspired by the way the Cuttlefish changes it’s colors in order to lure fish to consume them.
They really seemed to like that idea and that is how the DreamSpeed 2 came into being.’
Legacy of the DreamSpeed miniseries…
Though the series started just last year, there are already 2 iterations of the boots, with a 3rd one confirmed as well. Fun little fact about these boots: The 3 players using these boots are the fastest among the football community, with Ronaldo and Mbappe tied in first as the fastest male players and Kerr as the fastest female player. They really want to see the series go on the long run and are awaiting the 3 variation. With this much hype on the series, that too the players wearing the boots also awaiting the next set of boots, it’s impossible not to think about the future of these minor breakout boots that have garnered attention across the community. The legacy will remain at hearts for these players and the future is bright for Nike as well.
