France 98 saw a change in the guard of football boots. What would obviously been a place for Adidas or Puma, the custom boot designed for @ronaldo, the Nike R9 Mercurials were the first synthetic boot. A boot that blew the minds of viewers everywhere for its sleek design and shiny material. At the time it a light 250 grams, was the lightest boot ever made and evolved what a lot of players thought what a football boot should be. The modern boot has come a long way since then but this was the one that paved the way. A Game Changer. - #football #nike #boots #soccer #brazil #brasil #fenomeno #footballdesign #baller #jogabonito #worldcup #vintagefootball
