Here’s how the Nike Mercurial 360 was made

1. The Mercurial 360’s Flyknit yarns have the capacity to be molded into a variety of textures and shapes.

2. This allowed designers to create a 2D graphic incorporating icons of the Mercurial lineage and translate it into a 3D element of the boot’s design.

3. The 3D design is created through a mold that heats and presses the design into the Mercurial 360 knit.

This process allows for distinctive nods to past boots and celebration of iconic Mercurial elements without compromising touch.
