Jul 31, 2016, by Chris
Update: Eden Hazard scored twice for Chelsea who lost 3-2 to Real Madrid in front of 105,826 fans yesterday wearing the brand-new Pure Platinum Nike Mercurial Vapor cleats from the Elite Pack.
Chelsea striker Eden Hazard has become the first player to train in the brand-new Pure Platinum Nike Mercurial Vapor cleats in yesterday's Chelsea training session in the USA. The new Nike Elite Pack football boots may be worn by only 11 of Nike's best athletes according to information from footpack.fr.
Officially revealed yesterday, the new Nike Elite Pack Soccer Boots Collection introduces stunning silver designs for all of Nike's four current boot silos (Hypervenom, Magista, Mercurial, Tiempo).

The Nike Mercurial Vapor Elite Pack Boots combine a Pure Platinum base with a striking Volt sole plate to stand out.
Compared to the launch colorway of the eleventh-generation Nike Mercurial Vapor boots, the Pure Platinum / Ghost Green Nike Mercurial boast much less details.
Eden Hazard is set to debut the Pure Platinum / Volt Nike Mercurial Vapor Football Boots in tomorrow's pre-season clash against Liverpool, whereas all other Chelsea FC players laced up in the Nike Euro 2016 Boot Collection during yesterday's training, a further hint that just a few selected Nike athletes will wear cleats from the Elite Pack.
