Earlier this year, we saw Nike give its Air Max the Mercurial R9 treatment in honor of Brazilian soccer legend, Ronaldo. To bring us even closer to the legend, the silhouette will soon be released in the player’s original colors. The upper will feature a combination of royal blue and metallic silver mesh throughout with accenting yellow contours and a yellow Swoosh. For soccer fans, the silhouette is sure to bring back memories of some of 352 amazing goals scored by Il Fenomeno back in the day. A release date for the Air Max Mercurial R9 has yet to be set, but be sure to check back for updates.
