Nike Present Odell Beckham Jr. With R9 Inspired Mercurial

Nike have launched Odell Beckham Jr's second pre-game cleats for the 2018/19 season with a design that honours the Brazilian footballing legend Ronaldo. Yep, that 1998 Mercurial pattern is unmistakable on any court or pitch.

The flood-red colorway features an upper inspired by the iconic Nike Mercurial boot worn by Ronaldo in the 1998 World Cup, when the world saw the rise of one of football's most prolific offensive talents. Transformed into an American Football fit product, the cleat's lightweight traction plate fetures a modern upgrade with a Nike carbon fiber plate.

The Odell Beckham Jr. Special Edition Mercurial cleats were worn by OBJ during the pre-game of the New York Giants’ away game against the Dallas Cowboys on September 16. More cross-over sporting goodness. Building on a week that saw PSG and Jordan link up for a ground-breaking collaboration.
