As the days get shorter and the nights get colder, Nike‘s latest addition to the Mercurial Dream Speed Series is here to light up the pitch with its bold design and innovative technology. The Nike Mercurial Dream Speed 009 is the ninth iteration in the Dream Speed saga, a biennial event that showcases the brand’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of speed and performance. This latest shoe draws inspiration from its predecessors, particularly the original Dream Speed, 004 and 005, to create a shoe that embodies the values of heritage, speed and confidence.
The Mercurial Dream Speed 009 features a unique three-quarter-length Air Zoom unit underfoot, providing springy acceleration for athletes like Kylian Mbappé and Sam Kerr, who rely on their speed to outmaneuver opponents. The integrated Speed Cage structure keeps feet locked in and ready to accelerate at a moment’s notice, while the Tri-Star studs provide multidirectional traction, allowing players to create space, change direction, and cut through defenses with ease. The Vaporposite+ upper combines a grippy grid mesh with a premium lining for a more natural feel and optimal ball control at high speeds.

One of the distinctive features of the Dream Speed series is the insole inscription, which features the Cristiano Ronaldo logo and the words “Create to the exact specifications of CR7”. As a long-time ambassador for Nike and the Mercurial line, Ronaldo positions himself as a guide for the new generation of soccer players through this line. Despite some recent issues with Nike cleats, Ronaldo remains one of the brand’s most iconic faces and will wear the Mercurial Dream Speed, adding to his cleat history.
The Nike Mercurial Dream Speed 009 is now available worldwide in adult and kids sizes at nike.com and select retailers.
