Nike Mercurial Vapor XI Black History Month 2018 Boots Revealed
Jan 12, 2018, by Pat
Nike today launched a special Mercurial Vapor XI football boot to celebrate Black History Month. The Mercurial Vapor XI BHM will be worn by Paris Saint-Germain players Dani Alves and Neymar Jr, who follow in the steps of Blaise Matuidi who laced up the Magista for a few games back in 2016..
The theme of 2018's Nike BHM collection is 'Equality', which is written on the sockliner of the boots.

This image shows the black / multicolor Nike Mercurial Vapor XI 2018 boots.
A unique design and unlike anything else before, the Nike Mercurial Vapor 11 BHM 2018 cleats are predominantly black with an array of lines running across the upper in different colors to represent the roots of the different communities coming together. The word 'EQUALITY' is printed on the sock-liner of the boot. A white sole plate and gold accents, in the form of all brandings, complete the eye-catching design.
The Nike Mercurial Vapor 11 special-edition Black History Month soccer boots have a one-piece Teijin microfiber upper with ACC tech and a speed ribs across the upper for improved ball control at high velocity.

Liverpool 26-27 Away Kit Spotted for Sale

Como 1907 26-27 Home Kit Released With Shocking €125 Price Tag
Como 1907's new 26-27 home kit has arrived, but the price tag is intense. The Italian club is charging €125 for the home jersey, which is €25 more expensive than the standard Adidas retail price of €100. While Como is asking €125 at its own official outlets, Adidas should sell the exact same kit for the standard €100 price through its own retail channels (but without the sponsors, which some surely prefer).
The steep €125 price tag stands out even further when compared to previous releases. For supporters reluctant to pay such a high amount for the new 26-27 shirt, last season's home kit is available for half price at just €55 (full price was €110).
