Nike is introducing the Cryoshot line to transform some of its iconic football boots into everyday lifestyle sneakers. One of the first models adapts the classic Mercurial Vapor R9, the boot worn by Ronaldo during the 1998 World Cup.
The design preserves the original boot's upper while adding a transparent TPU midsole housing that reveals the stud pattern underneath. This approach draws from cryogenic preservation concepts to create a modern street-ready shoe that honors its on-pitch roots.
