Update: Erling Braut Haaland gave his new special-edition Nike Mercurial Vapor 13 Elite cleats a second outing yesterday against RB Leipzig. The Norwegian striker scored a brace in the second half. BVB gave Leipzig a neat thrashing away from home (1-3). Pictures via Norwegian store @torshovfootball.
The new Nike Mercurial Vapor 13 Elite 'Golden Boy 2020' soccer boots were officially unveiled yesterday by Dortmund's top scorer as he fiercely returned from a torn muscle fibre that sidelined him for 28 days (Dec 1, 2020 until Dec 28, 2020). Haaland's presence immediately helped BVB (2-0) against VfL Wolfsburg.
Haaland's new Mercurial Vapor XIII Elite football shoes were mostly designed with Nike's "Nike By You" service that gives everybody the possibility to create their very own colourways of the 'speed' silo, while still retaining the premium features. As far as the inspiration goes, they are simply inspired by the golden year Erling Braut Håland has had since he won the 2020 Golden Boy award.
