Nike taps Chelsea’s Eden Hazard for the unveiling of the new Mercurial Ultra Flyknit Vapor. The football boot comes in two colorways: triple-black and black/metallic gold.

These boots come in a limited run. Only 2,500 pairs of the triple-black and 1,500 pairs of the black and metallic gold will be released.

Hazard, who has worn the Mercurial football boot throughout his career, will be wearing the new black and metallic gold colorway when he makes his anticipated return from an ankle injury.

“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.”
