Wrestler The Usos Lace Up in Unique Nike Football Boots
That's quite an odd spot (big thanks to BigSoccer Forum user Oli Coultas). WWE Wrestler Duo The Usos laced up in Nike Football Boots in their latest matches. And while they were not only wearing Nike Soccer Boots, they even laced up in an one-of-a-kind blue pair of Nike's Mercurial X Proximo Indoor Boots created with NikeiD.
The Usus "are a Samoan American professional wrestling tag team consisting of real-life twin brothers Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso, who appear in WWE".

WWE Wrestler The Usos Lace Up in Nike Mercurial X Proximo Boots
Close-up picture of the boots worn by The Usos brothers.
Let's start with the red boots of The Usos brothers. Boasting a red and black design, the red shoes worn by The Usos brothers are exactly the same as the Bright Crimson Nike Mercurial X Proximo Football Boots. Based on the outdoor Nike Mercurial Superfly Cleats, the Nike Mercurial Proximo Indoor Boots are made for ultimate speed and traction featuring a Flyknit upper and a Dynamic Fit collar. And as the red boots are ordinary, it are the blue boots that caught our interest.
The blue version of the Nike Mercurial X Proximo Boots worn by The Usos boasts an one-of-a-kind design created using Nike's customization service NikeiD. They combine a 'Deep Royal Blue' upper with a 'Photo Blue' Swoosh and black for the sole and the Dynamic Fit collar. Additionally, the Nike Mercurial X 'The Usos' Boot even comes with a splatter graphic pattern on the Swoosh that rounds off the truly outstanding design.
