Nike Mercurial Superfly x Mercurial Vapor III Tribute Pack by Swoosh Customs
Oct 11, 2015, by Chris
Who doesn't remember some of the colorways of the Nike Mercurial Vapor III Boots? Swoosh Customs, who is anything but unknown in the design game, has created nine unique boots merging the revolutionary Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots with the iconic third generation of the Nike Mercurial Vapor.
Launched in 2006, the Nike Mercurial Vapor III Cleats introduced a groundbreaking innovation which should define the upper of Nike's speed boot until today. The Nike Mercurial Vapor 3 Cleat was the first boot to feature a Teijin microfiber upper. Made for comfort, lightweight and adjust to the foot's shape, Nike still uses Teijin microfiber for the current generation of the Nike Mercurial.
Nike Mercurial Superfly x Mercurial Vapor III Tribute Concept Pack
Here's the collection of Nike Mercurial Superfly x Nike Mercurial Vapor 3 Remake Boots by Swoosh Customs.
Merging the cutting-edge Nike Mercurial Superfly Boots with the famous gradient upper design of the Nike Mercurial Vapor 3, Swoosh Customs has not been lazy and created nine different paint jobs for the iconic remakes.
His collection includes such iconic boots as the Nike Mercurial Vapor 3 Ronaldo Boots (green and yellow) and the classy white and golden colorway of the Nike Mercurial Vapor III.
It's quite interesting to see that all colorways come with the same gradient design on the upper, whereas current Nike Soccer Cleats introduce new upper graphic patterns almost every three months.

QPR Kit Clash Against West Brom
QPR faced a major kit clash in their EFL Championship away game at West Brom, wearing their pink away shirt with blue shorts against West Brom's traditional blue-and-white home shirt.
The bright pink of QPR looked surprisingly similar to the white stripes of West Brom on TV, while the blue shorts and dark details made the overall contrast even less clear.
From the wide camera angle, the two teams became difficult to distinguish, creating a frustrating viewing experience for fans.
Nike Kobe 8 Protro 'Mambacurial' Releasing Next Week
Nike is set to officially bring back one of its most famous crossover designs, the Kobe 8 Protro "Mambacurial", releasing on September 19, 2026. First introduced in 2013 as a tribute to Kobe Bryant's lifelong passion for football, the sneaker drew direct inspiration from the vibrant 2013 Nike Mercurial Vapor IX football boot. Thirteen years after its original debut, the model returns under the modernized Protro banner, uniting basketball performance with iconic football heritage. Big thanks to House of Heat.
The shoe faithfully recreates the beloved colorway, featuring a bold gradient across the engineered mesh upper in Red Plum, Pink Flash, and Electric Green. Signature football details define the look, including the oversized forefoot Swoosh that mimics Mercurial boot branding, massive block-letter "NIKE" lettering across the medial flank, and a translucent neon green outsole. Modern Protro upgrades have been implemented beneath the surface to provide improved cushioning and traction.
SK Brann Kvinner 26-27 Third Kit Released
Norwegian Toppserien side SK Brann Kvinner have officially unveiled their new 26-27 third kit, produced by Nike in collaboration with Unisport. The team debuted the vibrant new design during their away fixture against Lyn in Oslo.
The Nike SK Brann Kvinner 26-27 third shirt features a purple base paired with a large, dark rhododendron flower graphic printed across the front. The design honors Bergen's reputation as Norway's "Rhododendron City," known for the vibrant bushes that flourish in gardens and parks across the city. All branding, including the Nike Swoosh, monochrome Brann crest, and sponsor logos, is applied in a contrasting bright pink.
On the back, the jersey includes the inscription "For Bergen" in gothic lettering just below the collar, symbolizing the pride of representing the city on away trips. The new third uniform completes Brann Kvinner's 26-27 wardrobe alongside their traditional red home and dark away kits.
Special Club América 26-27 Kit Font Released
Club América has unveiled a special commemorative kit font for the 26-27 season, celebrating Mexican Independence Day and the club's marquee Clásico matches throughout September. The bespoke nameset replaces the regular squad typography on the back of Las Águilas' primary yellow home shirt, adopting the iconic green, white, and red of the Mexican flag.
The custom numbers feature a deep green base detailed with thin white vertical pinstripes. Embedded along the vertical lines are historic commemorative inscriptions, including the club name, the date "16 - 09 - 1810" marking the start of the Mexican War of Independence, and "INDEPENDENCIA DE MÉXICO". The player names above are rendered in vibrant red with a clean white outline.
To complete the patriotic design, each numeral incorporates a geometric red and cream 3D shadow effect, alongside Club América's crest placed at the base of every digit. The special typography delivers a unique cultural tribute, adding extra identity to the squad's jerseys during one of the most important periods of the Mexican football calendar.
