Another day, another hybrid Swoosh boot. In today's edition of If They Mated, the Nike eugenics team have spliced Air Max tech with football classic the Mercurial and spawned this sci-fi beast, the Nike Air Max Mercurial R9. Starring a Hyperfuse mesh upper, and a big Air bag in the heel; this doesn't look much like a Mercurial to us but, hey, we welcome all new shoes to the party. The Nike Air Max Mercurial R9 'Black/Reflective Silver' is available now at Nike retailers and Nike.com.
