NIKE TO RELEASE NEW MERCURIAL FOOTBALL BOOTS

Nike will release a limited edition of 3,000 “What the Mercurial” football boots beginning on May 5.

Inspired by the original Nike Mercurial which debut in 1998 – and which was hailed for its radical, track spike-inspired design, engineered for cut-and-strike speed – the new boot’s rich style features 16 of the most memorable Mercurial colorways on one bold shoe.

In addition, four past Mercurial logos are mashed up to create the logo on the heel tab and aglets. The left and right boots boast the same design, striped with iconic Mercurial colorways, while the sockliner showcases iconic Mercurial elements.

The “What the Mercurial” boot comes in a “What the Box,” with the retrospective color mashup on the inside.
