Born and bred to perform on the soccer pitch, the Nike Mercurial is worn by players at every level looking for a lightweight, comfortable, and high-performing cleat. Building on the cross-sport face-off betweenCristiano Ronaldo vs. Rafael Nadal produced by Nike last year, the Kobe 8 MC Mambacurial is a Frankenstein mash-up between Kobe’s Mamba and the brand’s flagship Mercurial cleat, resulting in an eye-catching sneaker with qualities of both proudly showing through. Most striking is the neon green Swoosh across the toebox, outsole, and branding on the tongue, but the gradient pink colorway for the breathable fabric upper fights for your attention. This soccer-inspired shoe with all of performance expected from a member of Nike’s Kobe line is available now at select shops, including X-Kicks’ online shop.
