For 20 years, Nike has designed Mercurial boots for the fastest players in the game, featuring game-changing innovations. Today, we go further and introduce the most innovative football boot in the world, the Mercurial 360. The Mercurial 360, which is featured in the Mercurial Superfly 360 and Mercurial Vapor 360, is the first Nike product to feature Flyknit around the entire foot for a second skin fit, eliminating the need for a traditional soleplate. Without a soleplate, the sockliner interlocks with a new internal chassis that is tuned for maximum responsiveness.

Cristiano Ronaldo, embraced the Mercurial Superfly 360 right away. ?My first reaction when I saw the new Mercurial was…the best boots ever! They fit straight away. The material, the design, the new technology, it?s amazing,? he says.

The plush feel of the Mercurial 360 can also be attributed to advancements in Nike All Conditions Control (ACC). Previously, ACC was applied on top of the finished Flyknit product, creating a thin layer. Now, ACC is embedded into the yarns prior to knitting, eliminating the additional skin without compromising the performance benefit. The result is a matte finish on a texturized upper that is softer to the touch but can still battle the elements.

Get a good look at both offerings above and be advised that the Nike Mercurial Superfly 360 and Mercurial Vapor 360 will debut on pitch next week and will be available February 14 on Nike.com.

Nike celebrates NBA All-Star 2018 with Makers of the Game ? those who are revolutionizing sport, industry and culture. Basketball, like no other sport, leaves an imprint on and off the court. There is an attitude born on the court that can now be found in every part of our culture from ballplayers to artists to makers. And Nike?s passion for the game has driven this influence, growing it with a global belief in creativity and individualism that no other brand can touch. This All-Star, Nike has partnered with athletes and collaborators to launch product and experiences that ignite Makers of the Game.

Below you will find the Nike 2018 Al-Star Collection. The entire collection will be available on nike.com and at select retailers beginning February 15.

Undefeated x Nike Kobe Protro

Back in ?06, Kobe Bryant dropped 81 points against Toronto wearing his first signature Nike shoe. The Zoom Kobe 1 Protro revisits that design with the latest performance innovations. For this release, Nike has partnered with Undefeated to reimagine the Protro for the city of LA.

Kith x Nike LeBron 15

Chapter two of LeBron James and KITH?s Long Live the King collection is made up of footwear and apparel designed for royalty.

90/10 Pack

Nike considers footwear a canvas for self-expression, so each design of the latest take on Nike icons (including the Special Field Air Force 1 Hi, Air More Money, Vandal Hi Supreme, Air Force 1 Low and Huarache) in this collection is 90-percent completed. The final 10 percent is left to the wearer?s imagination thanks to a white-based canvas upper that allows for customization in a multitude of ways.

Nike Air Foamposite One XX QS

The Air Foamposite One first dropped in the 90s, but its futuristic look (delivered by pouring a synthetic liquid into a mold) still astounds today. This cosmic colorway of the basketball classic was first seen in 2011 as a sample of the Galaxy iteration but has not been produced until now.

NikeLab x RT Air Force 1 Victorious Minotaurs

Fashion designer Riccardo Tisci continues his style-forward streetwear collection with Nike, celebrating on- and off-court basketball style through his mythical squad, The Victorious Minotaurs. The collection?s bold silhouettes include apparel, footwear and accessories.

Nike Air Zoom Generation Wheat

?LeBron James? debut signature shoe, the Nike Air Zoom Generation, was originally released in 2003. The sneaker?s responsive cushioning, lightweight support and breathability returns in a wheat colorway.

Nike Kyrie 4 All-Star

Taking inspiration from Venice, this shoe features a tie-dye graphic print that captures the culture of the city. The light blue outsole represents the ocean and pink sockliners show a custom graphic of the city and the well-known Venice sign at the corner of Pacific and Windward avenues.

Nike KD 10 All-Star

This Santa Monica-inspired version has a multi-color knitted upper that highlights the array of colors seen during a quintessential sunset on the Santa Monica Pier. The insole contains a custom Santa Monica graphic and a marble-pattern outsole grounds the design.

Nike PG2 All-Star

Looking to Paul George?s hometown of Palmdale for design direction, these colors represent the various aspects of the Inland Empire. The gray represents the desert and dust of Palmdale, while the orange is meant to highlight the sunset on the horizon. The pop of green is a nod to the nature around this area. Lastly, the sockliner features a custom graphic of Palmdale, and a grit out and midsole highlight the city?s terrain.

Yup, that’s a Off-White x Nike Air VaporMax in a never before seen Orange colorway. Recently unveiled by Virgil himself, the shoe comes dressed in an all-Orange upper accented by the Blue and White hits found by way of the circular graphics on the toe and Swoosh on the side panels. Opting for a tonal finish, the VaporMax sole also comes dressed in a similar shade of Orange. Other details include the signature Off-White text done in White on the lateral side, Orange laces, White tips and what appears to be even more branding on the heel region.

We don’t know wether this is a one-off or a potential future release, but making the shoe even more mysterious is the fact that Virgil captioned the image with ?????. Thoughts on the Off-White x Nike Air VaporMax Orange? If released, would these be considered a must-cop?

Above you will get a good look at two new Air Max hybrid models that mesh the Nike Air Max 97 with the Nike Air Max Plus. Rightfully dubbed the Nike Air Max 97 Plus and the Nike Air Max Plus 97, each pair borrows the sole of other to create a brand new hybrid design. Opting to use the same cream color scheme, shades of Blue and Green take care of the shoe’s design. To be clear, the Nike Air Max 97 Plus comes with an AM 97 upper and AM Plus sole, and the Nike Air Max Plus 97 comes with a AM Plus upper and AM 97 sole. No word yet on when both will drop but as soon as more info is released we will let you know.

Shown above is the Nike Zoom Kobe 1 Protro, the first pair of the upcoming Nike Kobe Retro line. Although the shoe is labeled as a “retro” release, it does comes with updated tooling that makes the shoe better than ever.

Also known as the Nike Zoom Kobe 1 Performance Retro, this updated version of the Zoom Kobe 1 manages to keep the aesthetics of the shoe unchanged while upgrading the shoe’s tech. What you end up getting is a shoe with a “retro” look and a modern feel.

Nike Basketball footwear product director Tony Grosso and his team focused on reducing weight and evolving production to eliminate pieces of the original Zoom Kobe 1 that were no longer needed. The shoe also comes with improved cushioning. Nike Zoom Air has come a long way in the last 13 years and the team was able to use those advances to add a better system for performance athletes, specifically in the form of a Zoom bag setup with a rocker and ride that is smoother than the original. The “ride” of the shoe is also improved by eliminating foam and decreasing the size of the carbon fiber shank to create a more engineered feel.

Get a good look at the Nike Zoom Kobe 1 Protro above and look for Nike to drop them on February 17th at select retailers and Nike.com for the retail price of $175.

Nike has just unveiled the new Nigeria and England National Team World Cup Kits and we bring you a detailed look at both of them down below.

Nigeria

The word Naija has many uses. As a descriptor, it defines a certain future-focused optimism. Naija is also patriotic name for Nigerians which captures a variety of emotions and attributes such as resilience, pride, and strength. ?It is always an honor to wear the white and green. To compete this summer is not just our dream, it is also the dream of our fans. Together, we all represent Naija,? says 21-year-old forward Alex Iwobi. The Super Eagles? young team (majority of the roster is under 25) head to the tournament this year with the look of football for the summer and a supreme confidence that is pure contemporary Nigeria: Audacious. Fast. Fun. Stylish.

Nike?s energetic collection for the Nigeria Football Federation is imbued with the Naija spirit.  There are the requisite odes to the Super Eagles? on-pitch success (the home kit carries a familiar badge recolored to honor the ?96 gold medal-winning “Dream Team”) and tradition (as always, there?s a full green kit, though it?s now the away stripe rather than the home). But at heart, the looks are driven by a desire to channel a healthy reserve of exuberance.

England

England lays claim to several representative symbols. Two of the most famous are longstanding: the rose and the St. George?s Cross. A third, the Three Lions crest that adorns the chest of the English Football Association kit, has antecedents dating back to the twelfth century. As design elements, each of these iconic emblems plays a prominent role in the England Football Association?s 2018 collection.

As design elements, each of these iconic emblems plays a prominent role in the England Football Association?s 2018 collection. They root the kit in history, and when married to Nike?s latest game-changing kit innovation, fast-forward tradition into an emboldened present.
