Nike Expands Mercurial Scorpion Boots to More Players for 2026 World Cup Final Stages
Nike has expanded the presence of its special-edition Mercurial Scorpion boots on the pitch for the final stages of the 2026 World Cup. Initially, the striking design was expected to be an exclusive colorway reserved solely for signature stars Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr. during the knockout rounds. However, the boots have now been rolled out to several other high-profile players in the brand's roster as the tournament reaches its conclusion. Big thanks to bootsclub.
Taking inspiration from the iconic 2002 Scorpion campaign, the special colorway is available in both the Superfly 11 and Vapor 17 models. In recent matches, players such as Marcus Rashford, Mikel Oyarzabal, and Enzo Fernández have all been spotted wearing the Scorpion Mercurials. This wider rollout ensures the retro-inspired design gets maximum visibility on international football's biggest stage.
