The first Mercurial 2024 boots are part of the Nike Blueprint collection, launching on Wednesday, July 3, 2024.

In addition to the next-generation Nike Mercurial 2024 football boots, the Nike ‘Blueprint’ 2024 collection also includes all of Nike’s core silos: Alphafly 3, Mercurial Superfly, Pegasus 41, Pegasus 41 Easyon, G.T. Hustle 3, and Air Zoom Maxfly 2, all paying tribute to the Swoosh’s iconic “AIR ZOOM” technology.

The next-gen Nike Mercurial 2024 boots feature a new design with a small zig-zag embossed upper. The large ‘AIR’ on the heel has been slightly altered from the Vapor 15. The big Swoosh is similar to that of the Nike Mercurial Vapor 11.

For the launch colorway (“Blueprint Pack”), Nike combines two shades of blue—Glacier Blue / Blue Orbit. The sole plate boasts a stunning metallic design.

The Blueprint Pack itself draws inspiration from Bill Bowerman, a co-founder of the company, and his unwavering commitment to enhancing athletic performance. Bowerman was so dedicated to optimization that he would use a ballpoint pen to mark a dot in the shape of a Swoosh on the side of his athletes’ spikes to reduce the weight from stitching on a logo. Nike’s designers created a typography based on the actual notes in his sketchbooks for the Nike Blueprint Pack.
