Update: Confirming our leak, House of Heat has leaked a special Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 boot, directly inspired by the legendary Nike Air Max 95.
Special Nike Mercurial Air Max 95 Boots Released - Available 12 April
Footy Headlines can exclusively leak that Nike will be releasing another colorway of the Nike Mercurial x Air Max 95 shoes.
Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 x Air Max 95 - Black/Solar Red
This picture shows new Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 x Air Max 95 football boots in 'Black/Solar Red'.
The Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 'Air Max 95' special edition boots feature a predominantly black upper, serving as a base for the standout design feature. Running along the lower half of the boot are distinct wavy layers rendered in a stunning iridescent, multi-colored graphic. This directly mimics the famous tiered paneling of the Air Max 95.
The iridescent graphic appears to shimmer with shades of green, blue, purple, and gold, creating a visually striking effect against the black upper.
Contrasting red accents are used for the small Nike Swoosh placed towards the heel and possibly on the tips of the studs, echoing classic Air Max 95 colorways like the 'OG Neon' or similar infrared/solar red editions.
