Jun 23, 2018, by Chris
Update: Our followers made us aware that Ochoa is not using modified boots but the takedown Nike Mercurial Vapor XII Pro soccer cleats. The second-best Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 boot retails at 120 Euro.
Thanks to Mexican boot experts @abcdefutbol, it has been revealed that Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa has received never-seen-before synthetic modified Nike Mercurial Vapor 360 football boots.
Guillermo Ochoa's Modified Nike Mercurial Vapor 360 Boots
Close-up pictures of Guillermo Ochoa's football boots.
Totally different to the all-new Flyknit Nike Mercurial Vapor 360 soccer cleats that are able to buy, Ochoa's custom boot features a 100% synthetic upper that seems to be identical to the one of the last-gen Nike Mercurial Vapor football boot, the last synthetic Nike Mercurial Vapor edition.
The sole construction of the boots of Guillermo Ochoa seems to be also slightly different to the retail version.
However, Ochoa may be not 100% satisfied with his modified Nike Mercurial Vapor 360 football boots as he trained with the stunning Nike Mercurial Vapor XI Black History Month boots in Mexico's last training session ahead of the match against Japan.

Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collage.
