Nike Drops Mercurial Vapor 360 Dedicated to Neymar Jr.
Donning a classic “Oreo” colorway.
Nike has dropped a pair of Mercurial Vapor 360 football boots in honour of Neymar Jr, celebrating the Paris Saint-Germain star’s “Shhh…” finger tattoo in a classic Nike “Oreo” colorway.
Constructed from Flyknit and synthetic overlays, the Mercurial Vapor 360 NJR Silencio is complemented by a bright red swoosh, red “NEYMAR” printed text on the heel featuring a diamond and crown logo on alternate sides, an all-around red detailing seen on the studs, tongue tab and insole.
The NJR Silencio is also packed with Nike’s latest technology, from a lightweight forefoot plate which flexes with the foot to keep up with players at speed, to an interior NIKEGRIP footbed system that aims to hold your foot further into place inside the second-skin of the 360-degrees Flyknit boot.
The boots are available in both firm-ground and artificial-ground editions and are priced at £230 GBP (approx. $300 USD) on Nike.com.
