In recent years we’ve seen a significant number of signature football boots transformed into lifestyle sneakers; case in point is the Nike Mercurial originally designed for Ronaldo in 1998. To coincide with this year’s UEFA Euro, Nike has introduced another lifestyle edition of its premier football cleats, the Zoom Mercurial XI Flyknit, which proved to be an instant hit as it brought the Nike classic design to the next level.

Taking design cues from the Free Mercurial Superfly, the Nike Free sole was replaced by the Air Zoom Spiridon unit to deliver low-profile, resilient cushioning for a comfortable step. The shoes also utilize a Flyknit construction to provide flexible and breathable comfort, not to mention a snug mid-cut, sock-fit collar for comfort.

The Zoom Mercurial XI Flyknit is now available at Nike stores worldwide and online.
