Special-Edition Nike Mercurial Vapor 15 Boots Released - Inspired by 2001 'Air Zoom Mercurial'

Update: As announced by @ericwong7621 a few days ago, the limited-edition Nike Mercurial Vapor 15 boots were released in Asia today (picture via @westonsingapore). No word on a Europe / US release date yet.

Nike are set to soon launch a new pair of special-edition Mercurial Vapor 15 Elite boots, inspired by the iconic 2001 Nike Air Zoom Mercurial, in the coming days.

Boot collector @ericwong7621 was the first to share the official pictures of the boots while also revealing that they would be released in China on November 25th, 2022. It remains to be seen whether they will also be available elsewhere on the same day.

Nike Mercurial Vapor 15 SE - Black / Copper

This is the brand-new special-edition Nike Mercurial Vapor XV Elite in black and copper.

Inspired by the classic boots, which were worn for example by Ronaldo, the new Nike Mercurial Vapor 15 SE football boots have an iridescent upper with a black tongue and copper detailing at the front and heel.

The sockliner of the special-edition Nike Mercurial Vapor 15 cleats is black with copper dots and five white dots in the center, paying tribute to the original Air Zoom Mercurial from 2001. The dots can also be seen on the heel counter.

According to @ericwong7621, the black-and-copper Nike Mercurial Vapor 2022 boots will be available to buy in China from November 25th, 2022. While we cannot confirm or deny that specific date, we can confirm that they will also be on sale in the US (and very likely also Europe). They will likely be a limited edition.
