"a design that pays tribute to her home country, her career, and one of her biggest sporting idols. The boots arrive in a light sandy base, a nod to Australia's beaches, with flashes of teal, pink and orange running through them to mirror the ocean, sunsets and rocky landscapes. The colors of the boot are what I think of when I think of home: Perth's ocean and sunsets, Kerr explained. It's a reminder of where I'm from."
"Perhaps the most striking detail is the bold stripe that cuts down the toe of the boot, inspired by Cathy Freeman's unforgettable gold medal run at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. At the top of the stripe, there's a small tribute to Freeman's victory a nod to an athlete Kerr has long cited as one of her heroes. Her signature is stamped onto the heel to round off the design, giving every pair the feel of being personally signed."
Sam Kerr’s first Player Edition Nike Mercurial Superfly features a light sandy base with teal, pink and orange accents reflecting Australian beaches, ocean, sunsets and rocky landscapes. The design includes personal elements such as her mantra Consistent etched across the upper, references to her style of play (Forever Forward) and West Australian roots (Perth Swagger), and a bold toe stripe inspired by Cathy Freeman’s 2000 Sydney Olympic gold medal run with a small tribute at the stripe’s top. Her signature is stamped on the heel. A matching Field General sneaker and oversized fleece hoodie carry the same palette and stitched personal phrases.
