| In celebration of the 2008 Euro Cup, Nike has brought out many soccer inspired releases. A couple years ago Nike made a handful of World Cup Air Force Ones, Air Max 95, and FC’s, but this year Nike has been going crazy with Nike Dunk and the Air Max 90.
The Nike R9 Mercurial was the source of inspiration behind this Dunk Low Supreme from top to bottom. The Nike Mercurial R9 debuted in 1998 and was the signature soccer boot for Brazil’s Ronaldo and was the first Nike soccer boot to use Zoom Air cushioning. Like the Mercurial R9 these Dunks also feature Zoom Air along with a clear sole overlaying a graphic that depicts the bottom of the Mercurial R9. On the upper Nike went with color blocking, piped edges, and added stitching details to resemble the Mercurial R9 even more. The Nike Dunk Low Mercurial R9 is slated for a June release Stateside, but pairs just popped up across the Pacific at Atmos Tokyo. Info thanks to High Snobiety. |
