Custom Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 'Play Ice' Worn by Loum Tchaouna
At first glance, Tchaouna appeared to be rocking an original pair from 2017, but the boots are actually modern Nike Mercurial Vapor 16 cleats hand-painted to replicate the iconic Nike Mercurial Vapor XI 'Play Ice' colorway. Created by Thai boot custom studio @customitthailand (Smallbrush Artist Team), the custom design reproduces the signature dark obsidian heel, icy blue horizontal speed ribs, and crisp white Swoosh detailing to match Coventry City's sky blue and navy home kit.
Tchaouna is quickly building a reputation as one of the Premier League's top boot enthusiasts. During his previous spell at Burnley, the 22-year-old French winger also turned heads by lacing up custom Vapor 16s painted to pay homage to the retro Mercurial Vapor VII.
