Dani Alves Debuts Custom Nike Mercurial Boots In 2019 Copa America Opener
Created by shoe designer The Shoe Surgeon and not by Nike, the custom Nike Mercurial Superfly 360 soccer cleats worn by Dani Alves boast an one-of-a-kind upper design that is split in a colorful forefoot area and a black rear area.
In fact, a closer look reveals the custom Dani Alves boots feature the logo of OSGEMEOS (also known as Os Gemeos or Os Gêmeos, Portuguese for The Twins). OSGEMEOS are graffiti and street artists born in 1974 in São Paulo, Brazil, who are identical twin brothers Otavio Pandolfo and Gustavo Pandolfo. OSGEMEOS started painting graffiti in 1987 and gradually became a main influence in the local scene, helping to define Brazil's style.
Dani Alves' boots are based on the Nike Mercurial Superfly Victory Pack boots. They are the same as regular colorways of the Nike Mercurial Superfly 360, tech-wise.
We have no info yet if Dani Alves will auction off the special boots or if they were just created for him.
