After not releasing a 'Black Pack' collection for early 2025, Nike will bring it back this summer. Now, Footy Headlines can leak official images of the Mercurial 25-26 Black shoes. They have an updated visual, design mid-season of the generation.
Nike Mercurial 2025 'Shadow' - Black / Ice Blue
This photo shows the new Nike Mercurial 2025 boots in 'Black / Ice Blue'.
The Nike Zoom Mercurial Vapor 16 'Shadow' boots feature a predominantly black upper, creating a stealthy look. The stealthy black base is sharply contrasted by a prominent Ice Blue Nike Swoosh that stretches across the side of the boot. The "AIR ZOOM" branding on the lateral side is also rendered in this cool blue hue.
The soleplate is black, with a window revealing the reddish, shimmering Air Zoom unit. The tips of the studs feature Ice Blue accents, tying the outsole into the overall design aesthetic.
The mid-season visual of the Mercurial 16 sees a whole new instep and outstep design, while the tech remains the same.
