The Nike Cryoshot Mercurial Vapor R9 OG in Varsity Royal/Varsity Maize freezes one of the most consequential boots in football history into something you can wear off the pitch. The 1998 Mercurial Vapor, the cleat R9 debuted at the France World Cup, is translated here into a lifestyle sneaker that holds the original colorway exactly as he wore it. The Cryoshot concept doesn't reimagine the boot. It preserves it.
