Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho is ensuring that the game is aware of Nike’s return with the Nike Mercurial Vapor 1.
Ahead of United’s Europa League knockout showdown with Real Sociedad, Garnacho was pictured by photographer Konrad Borzy sporting Nike Mercurial Vapor 1 RGN SEs, which retail for Β£254.99, as the streets eagerly await the return of Nike’s most iconic boot. The image generated debate on the internet.
According to the company, the Vapor 1, which Cristiano Ronaldo wore for the first time when he made his professional debut at the age of 17, has been updated with the colors the Portuguese superstar wore on that day, along with Air Zoom cushioning and a thin synthetic upper.
Ronaldo, a key contributor to the Argentine’s rise to the top of the football league, was the first player to join Garnacho in celebrating his first United goal against Real Sociedad.

Nike may have released the boot ahead of the 20-year-old’s return to Spain for that reason, but with Ruben Amorim’s club in desperate need of inspiration, a rejuvenated Garnacho in Mercurial regens could be exactly what they need to get back on track.
