Neymar Trains In Mystery Blacked-Out Nike Boots
Thought the Mercurial madness was over for another year? Think again. Santos superstar and Brazilian international Neymar has caught the eye of our SoccerBible BootSpy after exposing a mystery blacked-out Nike boot in training.
So what are they? Well, a new Mercurial...we can assume that much. Don't be fooled into thinking that Neymar is testing the Nike Mercurial Vapor 9 (or 10!) - we don't expect Nike to begin rolling out Vapor 9 prototypes to pros until early 2013. There's certainly a lot of mystery surrounding this boot. Once again, Nike have left us wanting answers!

As one of the fastest rising players in the game, Neymar has joined Ronaldo as one of Nike's go-to players for their latest boot concepts. His skill, pace and flair has led to him becoming one of Nike's main endorses for the Mercurial line. Could Nike be using their Brazilian superstar to test a new tier of Mercurial football boots?
From the images we can see that there are distinct design differences between this boot and past Mercurial models. The noticeably unique upper is comprised of two separate materials while the out-sole has some design alterations in shape and size.
Speculation is high and no one can say for sure what Nike have up their sleeves. Stay tuned to SoccerBible as we aim to bring you more news on Nike's mystery boot.
