Nike Launch Fresh Mercurial TN Models

Inspired by the new Nike Mercurial football boot design, the Swoosh has dropped a four-colourway capsule of fresh Mercurial TN sneakers. Blending stylist elements from the Mercurial boot and Air Max Plus the Mercurial TN delivers a streetwear vibe with subtle footballing influence.

Two OG models highlight the group, and are most heavily influenced by the iconic boot via its the use of oversized Swoosh and an iridescent checkered graphic that nods to traditional football kits. Additionally, two pairs of the TN Ultra carry a subtle repeat checkerboard pattern, 'Just Do It' branding and lower profile midsole. A Nike Kids version takes the Mercurial pattern on the heel and a triple black base. Flashy touches and an oversized swoosh complete all the designs.

The football-inspired sneaker market has seen a rapid rise in recent seasons and this is exactly how to nail a successful addition: by taking a streetwear shoe and gently introducing footballing elements that aren't too overpowering. The most popular editions tend to be lifestyle leading football, rather than football with a touch of lifestyle. The fresh drop of Mercurial TN sneakers are the latest cross-over and follows on from the new Tottenham Hotspur 19/20 teamwear using an edited version of the TN logo.

The Nike Mercurial TN sneaker collection is available now on nike.com
