Mercurial TN
Nike recently unveiled the Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly IX 'Air Max Tn,' a harmonious marriage between two of their most distinctive product lines. This avant-garde collection pays homage to the original 1998 'Voltage Purple' release of the Air Max Plus, blending its trademark design with the sleek silhouette of the Air Zoom Mercurial Superfly IX. Kylian Mbappé wasted no time securing a pair for himself, even managing to score a goal in them during PSG's Trophée Des Champions victory over Toulouse.
Adding another layer of excitement to this crossover phenomenon, Marcus Thuram showcased the Vapor XV version of the Nike Air Mercurial Tn during a recent Inter training session. The 'Volt Purple/Total Orange' colorways, a nod to the heritage of the Nike TN Air Max Plus line, are expected to grace the Serie A pitch as Thuram gears up for Inter's match against Verona.
With its roots tracing back to 1998 and a resurgence in 2018, the OG 'Voltage Purple' colorway of the Air Max Plus returns as the flagship release for the shoe's 25th anniversary, celebrated in 2023.
This unique collaboration brings together two worlds, uniting the trendy TN shoes, particularly popular among the Gen Z in France, with the performance excellence of the Mercurial line, known for its dominance in football and outdoor pursuits. The result is nothing short of a masterpiece, where the meeting of these distinct styles transcends mere footwear, creating a work of art that captures the essence of both streetwear and high-performance athletics. The Nike Mercurial x Air Max collection is set to drop on mid January, marking a momentous occasion for sneaker enthusiasts and athletes alike. Make sure to check 11teamsports to cop yours!
