Ultra-rare, match-worn Nike Mercurial Superfly IV used by Anthony Martial during the 2015/16 season, his breakout year on the international stage with the France national team.
- Worn during the same season Martial announced himself globally, scoring on his Manchester United debut and becoming one of Europe’s standout young attackers.
- Features personalised identifiers including ‘AM9’ and the France flag on the right boot, and ‘PEYTON’ (his son) + France flag on the left
- Specially built at Nike’s world-renowned Athlete Services facility in Montebelluna, the same location responsible for the brand’s most exclusive player builds.
- Constructed with an internal custom carbon-fibre reinforcement plate, a modification not found on any retail Mercurial Superfly IV model.
- A rare, early-career Martial artefact from his formative years with the French national team.
- Supplied with BC Boots UK COA.
- Player Features & Modifications:
Custom Construction (Nike Athlete Services, Montebelluna):
- Tailor-built to Martial’s bespoke foot measurements and fit profile.
- Athlete-exclusive materials and internal structure not found in standard retail models.
- Features unique Montebelluna stitching, shaping and internal lining identifiers.
Internal Reinforcement:
- Custom carbon fibre plate built into each boot for additional strength, acceleration recoil and lateral stability.
- Reinforcement designed to meet Martial’s explosive sprinting and cutting movements.
Personalisation:
- Right boot: ‘AM9’ + France flag on the lateral upper.
- Left boot: ‘PEYTON’ (his son’s name) + France flag on the lateral upper.
- Personalisation style corresponds directly to Montebelluna player-issue standards.
- Collector & Investment Significance:
-
Breakout-Year Item: From Martial’s first full season as a senior France international — one of the most collectible periods of his career.
-
Montebelluna Build: Early Superfly IV Montebelluna constructions are exceptionally rare, especially with additional carbon reinforcement.
-
Elite Personalisation: Family-based embroidery (‘PEYTON’) makes this pair uniquely sentimental and distinctly identifiable.
-
International Match-Worn Example: France-worn boots hold significantly higher collector prestige due to limited appearances and unique kits/colourways.
-
Long-Term Investment Potential: Martial remains one of the most recognisable attacking talents of his era — early-career, match-worn Mercurials from his international rise are increasingly scarce and highly desirable.
