This picture shows the special-edition Nike Mercurial to celebrate Megan Rapinoe's Ballon d'Or win.
Based on the Nike Mercurial Vapor XIII, the new Rapinoe boots draw inspiration from her signature hair color and the trophies she was won. Rapinoe's first and last name appear prominently on the lateral sides of the boot, with “Just Do It’ on the medial side. The heel counter and sockliner carry the four stars representing the four US Women's World Cup titles.
Unfortunately, the boots will not be retail and instead stay exclusive for the player.
