Nike Mercurial, in a few lines
The Mercurial is Nike's football boot built for speed. It appeared in 1998, on the feet of Brazilian striker Ronaldo, for the World Cup held in France. Since then, each generation has aimed to get lighter: thin upper, stiff sole, studs designed for acceleration. The range is split into two shapes, the low-cut Vapor and the Superfly, whose knit collar rises over the ankle. It is the boot of many strikers, from Cristiano Ronaldo to Kylian Mbappé, offered for the different types of pitch.
