Nike Mercurial Vapor I 2025 Remake Boots - Dark Cinder/Maize

This photo shows the expected look of the remake of the Nike Mercurial Vapor 1 boot in 'Dark Cinder/Maize.'

The Nike Mercurial Vapor I 2025 Dark Cinder remake boots have the same look as the original edition. They combine an almost black, rich dark brown (Dark Cinder) upper with maize applications and a white swoosh.

Tech-wise, the remakes feature the same upper as the classic boot, combined with the modern Mercurial sole plate. The Nike Mercurial Vapor 1 was revolutionary as the first boot silo to weigh under 200 grams, catering to speed-focused players​.

The insole is printed with the words 'Created to the Exact Specifications of Cristiano Ronaldo' - the same words that appear on the 9th shoes of the MDS series.

The "Dark Cinder" Nike Mercurial Vapor 1 remake was released on Monday, 3 March 2025. They are limited to 7,777 pairs, inspired by CR7#s shirt number.
