No Phantom VSN?! Coutinho Trains in Possible Next-Gen Nike Mercurial 2019-20 Boots

FC Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho has been spotted wearing blackout football boots. And while it is not known surely what they are, it seems likely that they are the next-generation Nike Mercurial Vapor 13 football boots.

Coutinho usually laces up in the Nike Phantom VSN soccer shoes. However, the boots rather look like a Mercurial, and Hazard laced up in very similar (identical) boots in early November 2018. Coutinho had been wearing the Nike Mercurial before Nike launched the all-new Phantom VSN silo.
