Nike Introduce the Mercurial Vapor “Next Nature”

Nike Vapor Next Nature Released

Introducing the Nike Mercurial Vapor “Next Nature”, the latest creation in a storied performance franchise. What makes them so unique is that they are made with at least 50% recycled content by weight!

This includes a 100% recycled plate and a 4-layer upper made with a combination of materials and technologies including Flyprint, recycled poly, recycled TPU and skin manufacturing scrap. This combo bucks the idea that only virgin materials can help contain and propel the world’s best soccer players.

And all of the learnings from this Mercurial Vapor Next Nature are being scaled throughout the Mercurial line-up, resulting in the majority of Mercurial boots coming to market in fall 2022 being made with at least 20% recycled content.

Expect pairs using all the technology to debut later this year!
