Nike Free Mercurial Superfly & Nike Magista Footscape

[shoeporn]

 
TBH my buddy has the mercurial and i have the magista.  I think the overall construction of the magista is a higher quality, with the leather on the back heel, the comfort level is incredible and the nike free soles kind of wear out quick.  This is my first footscape model that i have owned so i cant speak to the footscape sole and how long they last but i have owned frees before and the sole was gone in like 6 months.

exactly^^^^

dont shoot me on this, just my opinion- I think the mercurials are slightly hyped due to the HTM version hence maybe why the mercurials get more attention and loving because of it.......but then and again some people do not like the foostscape sole. 

I wonder if magistas would get as much attention and hype if they had a HTM version??????

I have the black magistas and navy mercs, the knit on the magistas are waaaayyy much better than the mercs.

To me the mercurial is more visually appealing. I missed out on he navy and gray pair and went with the magistas. They are really comfy, and I get compliments on them all the time. I have tried both on and the mercurials feel great as well.

On the white and navy color way that was leaked, how do you suggest to keep the flyknit clean? I was wondering if something like crep protect would keep dirt out of the flyknit. Any experience with this? Thanks!

For some reason I prefer the fit and feel of the Magista's. I think that the free 5.0 sole doesn't quite fit my foot that well and I can really feel the flywire sometimes on the Mercs. Magista feels like one piece and although the they are a bit big in the heel, my foot just fits it right. I've tried on 0.5 down, TTS, and 0.5 up in Magista's and I feel that TTS is the way to go unless you have abnormally wide or short feet. Only about 0.5 inches in the toe for me, but the fit is snug without all my foot bones showing.

Had to rep for yesterday's game. A lot of my older USMNT stuff is the navy rather than the new true blue so these are my USA Magistas no matter what yall say

^Those actually look great right there. In hand, they dont look that appealing.

Magista's just look better on feet.

you have both? If so, which is more comfortable? I like the look of the Mercurials much more, but the magistas are growing on me and are more reasonably priced.

i have both. i like the Mercs better because of the free sole its more comfortable if you wear all day, but the magistas are nicer IMO (other than the quality of the stetson leather on the Mercs, its nicer than the leather on the magistas).

I will cop the white/black mercurials. Even if i strike out at retail I will pay whatever the crazy resell is on those. Now just need a release date... would make a nice birthday present if they are this summer.

both new mercurials are wackkkk..they are too sporty looking when they are supposed to be a lifestyle shoe..wtfff

do the magistas run kinda wide? trying to see if I can get away with a 12 instead of a 13

also, what's a good price for the grey magistas nowadays?

I normally wear a 12 and I'm in an 11. They fit, but are a bit snug. I'd go with a 12.5 if you can.

Actually, I don't think they made a 12.5.... so if you want a snugger fit go 12 if you want something a bit more lose go tts 13. I would go 13.

Debating on the France pair and considering the Brazil pair as well. Despite my hate for the price tag, I really love the look and quality.

 

[classysole]

Love my USA and England's so much. Just as comfy my superflys. Now time to sit and wait for those new superflys.

Really need a black pair of magista footscapes. Can't wait for my england, brazil and usa pairs to come in the mail. 

 

[cucumbercool]

Size?

Quick question: I wear a 12 in most flyknit said because I have a wide foot. I'm looking to purchase a pair of the air footscape magista. Should I stick with a 12 or size up to a 13? Thanks in advance!

I got lucky and got a sz 11 in the Brazil's this morning off of NDC

That's the last pair I wanted unless I can double up on the USA's
