Since its launch in 1998, Nike‘s Mercurial line of football boots has become one of the biggest in the world of football. Rivaling some of the more established lines in the game, the Mercurial helped cement Nike’s status as one to watch in football when the first boots appeared on Ronaldo’s feet during the 1998 World Cup.
