Nike Mercurial Vapor XV 15th Years Anniversary Boot Released

Nike today released the Nike Mercurial Vapor XV 15th Years Anniversary Boot, which is inspired by the iconic first Nike Mercurial boot worn by Ronaldo in 1998. The boot uses an almost identical design as the original Nike Mercurial, with the main difference being the use of volt instead of yellow for a more modern look. The laces are yellow and the black parts were replaced by a silver color, too. The Nike Mercurial Vapor XV 15th Years Anniversary Boot uses the same sole plate as the Nike Mercurial Vapor IX boots.

The Nike Mercurial Vapor IX 15th Years Anniversary Boot is limited to 1998 pairs and will be available at selected retailers from May 8.

Nike Mercurial 15th years Anniversary

Nike released their first Mercurial Boot 15 years ago in 1998 called Nike Air Mercurial Boots. The first Nike Mercurial R9 Boot Colorway came in Blackout, but at the FIFA World Cup 1998 Ronaldo played in a Silver / Blue / Yellow Mercurial Boot. This year Nike celebrates the 15th years anniversary from 1998 to 2013 of the Mercurial series, which was the first Boot developed for maximum speed and made from synthetic materials.
