Buy at Nike
Nike is bringing back a true icon of football (soccer for us Americans) history with the retro release of the Nike Mercurial Vapor 1 RGN. First made famous by Brazilian football legend Ronaldo during his electrifying performances in 2002, the Mercurial Vapor 1 RGN redefined football cleats for its time, combining speed, precision, and style. Two decades later, the cleats return triumphantly in the original colorway and with upgraded performance features.
The retro version of the Mercurial Vapor 1 RGN stays faithful to the original while incorporating cutting-edge performance updates. Featuring the same striking chrome base and neon accents, the cleats now include FlyTouch+ technology for enhanced grip in wet conditions and a wave-like traction pattern designed for quick directional changes. An integrated Air Zoom unit offers unparalleled speed and responsiveness, while the anatomical boot last ensures maximum comfort for extended play.
Paying homage to its origins, the cleats feature Ronaldo’s iconic "R9" logo on the tongue. They will come in a limited run of only 4,500 pairs, individually tagged for collectors and fans.
