Nike to Release Orange Mercurial Remake Boots
May 24, 2025, by Phan Tich Giay
- Remake Release: Nike is planning to release a remastered version of an iconic orange Mercurial football boot from its archive.
- Potential Models: The remake is likely to be one of the nine orange Nike Mercurial boots pictured, potentially from the Vapor 9 to Vapor 13 range.
- Colorway Significance: Orange has been a popular and memorable color for the Mercurial line, associated with iconic moments and players.
Following the recent success of bringing back classic football boots, Nike is set to delve once again into its rich archive of Mercurial models to release a remastered version of the iconic orange Mercurial in the near future.
Nike Mercurial Remake Boots - Orange
The image below shows 9 orange Nike Mercurial boots, one of which will be re-released.
While official confirmation on the specific model is pending, we anticipate that the remake will be one of the nine iconic orange Nike Mercurial boots featured in the image above.
Orange has been a frequent and popular colorway for the Mercurial line over the years, associated with numerous iconic moments and players. This upcoming remake will tap into that vibrant heritage.
Our prediction leans towards a model released between the Mercurial Vapor 9 and the Mercurial Vapor 13. Here's why:
- Recent History (Vapor 14 Onwards): Models from the Mercurial Vapor 14 (2021) onwards are likely too recent to be considered for a "remake" in the traditional sense. Re-releasing these wouldn't carry the same nostalgic impact.
- Distant Past (Pre-Vapor 9): Most of the boots released before the Vapor 9 era (excluding the Vapor 1) didn’t have many standout features and failed to leave a lasting impression in the memories of fans. If one Mercurial model from that period were to be chosen for a remake, it would likely be the Mercurial Superfly I, as it marked the split of the Mercurial line into two distinct branches: Vapor and Superfly.
Nike Mercurial Vapor 9 - Sunset/Volt/Total Crimson
Nike Mercurial Vapor 9 - Volt/Black/Bright Citrus
Nike Mercurial Vapor 10 - Laser Orange/White/Black/Volt
Nike Mercurial Vapor 10 - Bright Mango/Metallic Silver/Black
Nike Mercurial Vapor Vapor 12 'Fast AF' - Total Orange/Black/Volt
Nike Mercurial Vapor Vapor 12 'Europhia' - Hyper Crimson/White
Nike Mercurial Vapor Vapor 12 x Off-White: Total Orange / White
Nike Mercurial Vapor Vapor 13 LE: Laser Orange/Black
Nike Mercurial Vapor Vapor 13 'Daybreak': Laser Orange/Black/White
The period between the Vapor 9 and Vapor 13 saw numerous striking orange colorways that left a lasting impression, including vibrant launch editions and special packs. Boots like the orange Mercurial Vapor 9, the 'Bright Mango' Vapor 10, the 'Laser Orange' Vapor 10, or various orange iterations of the Vapor 12, and 13 are all strong contenders.

While Mbappé tested the whiteout prototypes in training ahead of the 26-27 Madrid derby against Atlético Madrid, an official debut this weekend remains unconfirmed as the Frenchman transitions from his signature Nike Mercurials. On-pitch prototype appearances are expected in the coming weeks ahead of a full retail rollout in 2027.

Nike and Corinthians have officially launched a new anthem jacket for the 26-27 season, arriving in tandem with the Brazilian club's new third kit.

It features an asymmetrical sleeve design, with a solid grey right sleeve contrasting against a black left sleeve detailed with two horizontal grey bands. A full-color Corinthians crest sits proudly on the chest, while the Nike Swoosh is accented with a light blue outline that echoes the colorway of the third shirt.
Cut in a woven track silhouette with a full-zip front, high collar, and elasticated hem and cuffs, the piece is designed for pre-match walkouts and casual lifestyle wear alike. The new jacket is now available via official Nike Brazil and club retail stores.

Women's Super League side London City Lionesses have officially unveiled their new away kit for the 26-27 campaign, manufactured by Nike. The new change strip follows the bold graphic approach introduced with the club's vibrant home shirt earlier in the summer.
The Nike London City Lionesses 26-27 away jersey is built on a dark navy base and is covered in an intricate, subtle tonal geometric pattern inspired by the shapes of the club's crest. Crisp teal detailing provides contrast, highlighting the monochrome diamond club badge on the left chest and the matching Nike Swoosh on the opposite side.
Front and center on the torso is the bespoke sponsor graphic depicting the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the ancient Greek goddess of victory from whom Nike takes its name.

The Corinthians 26-27 third shirt is predominantly light blue, recreating the uniform Tobias wore in the pouring rain at the Maracanã on December 5, 1976. That day, over 70,000 Corinthians supporters traveled to Rio de Janeiro to back their side in the Brazilian Championship semifinal against Fluminense, where Tobias made crucial stops and saved two penalties in the shootout. The modern interpretation features a classic polo collar inspired by the 1970s template, paired with subtle tonal patterning on the fabric and navy trim.
Black shorts and light blue socks complete the new Corinthians 2026-27 third strip. In a special nod to Tobias's iconic performance, the kit will make its pitch debut worn by Corinthians goalkeepers Hugo Souza and Nicole in their respective matches against Fluminense and Bahia, before serving as an outfield alternative throughout the season.
