Sam Kerr x Nike Mercurial Superfly, an Aussie first-ever player edition
Tue, Aug 26.25


Some players change the game. Others change the culture. And then there’s Sam Kerr — a force of nature, a trailblazer, an icon whose name now sits proudly on her very own Nike Player Edition boot. The first female-specific signature edition in over 20 years. Think about that for a moment. Mia Hamm broke the ceiling first. Kerr? She’s not just stepping through it — she’s shattering it. From the dusty pitches of East Fremantle to stadiums that roar across the globe, she’s been a lethal finisher, a speedster with instincts that seem almost unfair. Underestimate her at your peril. Before you know it, she’s off running toward the corner flag, and a backflip and huge grin sees you go another goal down.
The Sam Kerr Mercurial Superfly isn’t just a boot. It’s a declaration. The sneaker and apparel collection maps her journey from local hero to global superstar. Every detail, every colour tells a piece of her story — relentless, unapologetic, unforgettable. It’s a tribute to where she came from, who she is, and the new standards she’s setting for women’s football everywhere.
Back in 2019, the Mercurial Dream Speed 001 made waves — a boot she shared with Cristiano Ronaldo and Kylian Mbappé. Monumental. But now? Sam has boots that stand alone, not just alongside the game’s greatest, but above them in a new narrative. It’s not just a moment for her; it’s a moment for every young girl who ever kicked a ball on a backyard pitch, for every Aussie who’s dared to dream big. For football fans everywhere, it’s a reminder: legends aren’t born — they’re made. And sometimes, they redefine the game entirely.
A Boot That Tells Her Story
For Kerr, the boot had to be personal. “Through the creation process it was always important that the boot should tell my story; how this kid from East Fremantle got this far following her dreams,” she explained.
The palette? Pure Perth.
-
Teal for the ocean she grew up beside.
-
Pink & orange for the sunsets and rocks along WA’s coast.
-
A sandy neutral base to tie it all together.
Layered across the upper are mini tattoo-style graphics — reminders of the milestones and mantras that shaped her career:
-
“Consistent” — the mindset behind her dominance.
-
“Perth Swagger” — a nod to her hometown roots.
-
“Golden in 2017” — her first Golden Boot.
-
“2020 for the Blues” — her Chelsea breakthrough season.
Even her inspirations are stitched in. The striped detail running down the toe pays homage to Cathy Freeman’s legendary body suit from Sydney 2000, blending Kerr’s No. 20 into a symbol of unstoppable determination.
Flip the boots over and you’ll find sockliners that deliver Sam’s core message to the next generation:
“Be who I am” on one foot. “Be who you are” on the other.
Every pair also comes signed with her initials on the heel — because this isn’t just any Mercurial, it’s Kerr’s.
Mercurial Superfly 10 | Key Tech
Of course, this isn’t just about looks — the Superfly is stacked with Nike’s sharpest tech:
-
Air Zoom unit in the plate for responsive cushioning and explosive take-off.
-
Nike Gripknit + Atomknit upper for lightweight precision and a closer connection to the ball.
-
Chevron + bladed studs for multidirectional traction at full tilt.
In short: built for the speed, power, and control that define Kerr’s game.
Off-Pitch Style | Lifestyle & Apparel Collection
The Sam Kerr collection goes beyond the boot:
-
Nike Field General Shoe: Carries the same teal-pink-orange palette, with Sam’s signature on the ankle and her personal messages printed on the tongue.
-
Fleece Hoodie: Oversized, teal accents, and a bold back print declaring “Be Who I Am. Be Who You Are.” — the perfect mix of subtle front, statement back.
-
Performance Training Kit: Matching top and shorts, tying her story and colours into the training ground.
Kerr sums it up best: “I wanted to create a collection that I would wear, and also something you could pick up and appreciate for its style and message, whether you’re a football fan or not.”
A New Chapter for Aussie Football
From East Fremantle kid to Chelsea champion to Matildas captain — Kerr has carved her own path. This Player Edition isn’t just another boot drop. It’s proof that women’s football has its legends, and their names deserve to be stitched into the game’s culture.
Sitting on 99 goals for Chelsea and back in training sharper than ever, you best believe she’s coming for 100 — and she’ll be doing it in style, with these boots carrying every bit of her journey, her grit, and her glory.
