Founded on dreams and driven by the ambition to redefine velocity, Nike presents the Mercurial Dream Speed 009 boot pack—your key to blazing past defenders this Autumn/Winter season.

Featuring the latest advancements in the Dream Speed series, this release brings together design inspirations from previous Dream Speed icons, blending colours and concepts into a masterpiece that embodies speed, precision, and forward-thinking innovation.

The Journey to ‘Dream Speed’

Meet the MDS009—the latest evolution in Nike’s Mercurial Dream Speed series, engineered to maximise speed and agility, pushing the limits of on-field performance.

Inspired by past icons, the MDS009 blends the bold aesthetics of the MDS004 and MDS005, bringing together standout design elements into one cohesive and dynamic boot.

Let’s take a quick look at where the Dreamspeed 9 gets its inspiration…

MDS004: Space-Age Speed ( March 2021)

Nike Mercurial Dream Speed 004 (2021)

Inspired by the intense speed of spacecraft re-entering the atmosphere, the MDS004 brought a space-age aesthetic to the pitch in 2021. Its metallic silver, Pure Platinum, and red-yellow gradient set it apart, capturing speed in every element.

Beyond its striking colourway, the MDS004 introduced a new traction system aimed at optimising acceleration—bringing space-age speed to the pitch.

MDS005: The Power of Calm (Feb 2022)

Nike Mercurial Dream Speed 005 – (2022)

The MDS005 debuted the following year in 2022 with a unique “Barely Green / Volt / Electro Purple” colourway which sought to visualise Cristiano Ronaldo’s calm and focused mindset—a quality that fuels strong decision-making on the field.

This futuristic design added a fresh dimension to the Mercurial Dream Speed series and of the time, also featured new lightweight material that enhanced agility, keeping players quick on their feet.

The Sum of Innovation: MDS004 + MDS005 = MDS009

More than just a sum of its parts— the MDS009 represents a new milestone, merging speed, precision, and dynamic performance of icons past to make an impact on pitches worldwide.

By combining the best of both worlds—both in performance and striking looks—the MDS009 blends the aesthetics and sentiments behind the design inspirations of the Dream Speed 004 and 005 football boots.

Featuring a revamped soleplate like the MDS004 and incorporating a new lightweight material akin to the MDS005, the MDS009 enhances the Mercurial Dream Speed series with refined performance and innovation, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in football footwear.

All that Glitters isn’t is Gold

Showcased in all its dream speed glory, the official colourway of the MDS009 Mercurial is dubbed as having a ‘Barely Green / Metallic Gold Coin’ aesthetic and we’ve got to hand it to Nike, they’ve nailed it with the colour distribution of this boot.

The ‘Metallic Gold Coin’ sentiment is exhibited elegantly within the swoosh, with attention to detail situated in the embossed lettering of ‘MDS’ embedded within, which is an abbreviation of ‘Mercurial Dream Speed’.

Not only this, but the gold is also situated as a nod to the trophies and goals of Nike’s most esteemed players, from Kylian Mbappe to Sam Kerr and none other than the main man himself, Cristiano Ronaldo, who have already been spotted wearing the boots.

Streaks of blue and ‘barely green’ rise from the midfoot before blending into the canvas of what can be likened to an orange sunrise, embodying the concept of speed, while accentuating the aerodynamic contours of the boot.

The ‘MDS’ hallmark reappears on the heel, centred within the ‘AIR’ zoom lettering, blending seamlessly with the peach orange and ‘Barely Green’ gradient for an elegant and refined finish.

The elegance continues on the soleplate, featuring Nike’s innovative wave-like traction pattern. The signature swoosh stretches across the soleplate, while the unique chevron and bladed studs, highlighted in orange, provide enhanced grip—adding the final touch to this high-performance design.
