Kerr, who was chosen as Nike's female face of football, put her new boots to the test during Friday's friendly clash against the United States and immediately caught the eye with its reflective white safari print - a throwback to the 1987 Nike Air Safari.
Speaking ahead of the match in Colorado, Kerr, one of the world's best players, said the opportunity was "an amazing honour".

"I get to debut the boot which is obviously an amazing honour, to wear it with Ronaldo and Mbappe," she said.

Accompanying the boot is Nike's trademark Swoosh, this time in black, and a colourful strap that runs across the toes and towards the soul.
While Ronaldo is yet to wear the new 'LVL UP', Mbappe recently wore them both against Toulouse this past weekend and during Thursday's (AEDT) French Cup victory over Nantes.
