NIKE ZOOM MERCURIAL VAPOR I “RGN” CR7

#TBR

BRAND: NIKE ZOOM
MODEL: MERCURIAL VAPOR I “RGN” CR7
YEAR: 2024

CONDITION - BRAND NEW

Turning the clock back to the early millennium for a deeply nostalgic regeneration, Nike has dropped the iconic Mercurial Vapor 1 in its original “Chrome/Lime” colourway, made famous on the feet of Ronaldo in 2002 as Brazil won the World Cup. While other brands are quick to raid their archives for a sure fire bit of success, Nike have always seemed less inclined to do so, often looking forward instead of back. The last time we got a rerelease from the Swoosh archive was five years ago in 2019 with the T90 Laser I. Now, 22 years later, Nike have rereleased the boot as the Mercurial Vapor 1 RGN, recreating the original’s upper design, but placing it on the soleplate of the current Air Zoom Mercurial Vapor XVI. The look is almost identical to the OG, with the same “Chrome/Lime” colourway playing out. Silver base, lime accents, black branding, including the “R9” on the mini tongue. Doesn’t get much better. This is an extremely limited edition release, with just 4,500 pairs being available worldwide (the same number that was released 22 years ago).
