“I’ve played with Mercurials for 15 years, and they have always been good. There hasn’t been a colorway I didn’t like,” says Hazard to Nike News.

Hazard’s first football boot was a gift from his mother – a version of the original Mercurial, which was worn by the legends he worshipped.

“From that day, I started playing with them on the pitches in my neighborhood and in my club, Braine-le-Comte,” he recalls. “Before that, I didn’t have football boots. And since then, more or less, I have been wearing Mercurial.”
