Zaha Wears Nike Mercurial GS360 Agains
It seems like Zaha really enjoys playing with the GS360.
Against Manchester City, it took him only 6 minutes before he found the net.
The next match on November 6, when Crystal Palace hosted Wolves, Zaha curiously started with a pair of Mercurial Vapor 13 instead. He then switched back to the GS360 and scored the opener.
It wasn't the first time that these Nike's unique creation brought luck to the Ivorian forward either. Back in 2020, he debuted a pair of custom GS360, using Nike ID, against Leicester City. A match which he scored the only goal for Crystal Palace.
This time, Zaha's GS360 is modified: the FG soleplate is converted to SG by @tootsbootsuk. Obviously, since Nike ID no longer provides the GS360.
What do you think of Zaha's unique Nike GS360? Let us know down in the comment section.

Puma Kits Keep Ripping at the 2026 World Cup
Puma is facing significant criticism at the 2026 World Cup as multiple national team jerseys have easily ripped during matches.
Incidents involving players from Czechia, Morocco, Egypt, and Paraguay have highlighted an ongoing durability issue with the brand's latest kits - every torn shirt in the tournament so far belongs to a Puma-sponsored team.
The Puma 2026 World Cup kits incorporate the latest version of PUMA's ULTRAWEAVE “Thermoadapt” technology, which obviously is not tear-resistant enough.
The recurring wardrobe malfunctions have resulted in terrible PR for the German sportswear manufacturer and even prompted the viral resurgence of Xherdan Shaqiri's infamous quote from Euro 2016, where he joked that he hopes Puma does not produce condoms.
