TLDR: The Nike Mercurial Vapor 1 RGN ‘Shock Orange’ will be released on 19 May 2025 and will cost €280. With its bright orange upper, retro vibes and modern Zoom Air cushioning, this football boot pays homage to Cristiano Ronaldo's professional debut. As usual, you can find all further information on Grailify. The summer of 2025 brings a real highlight for all football fans: Nike is bringing back the legendary Mercurial Vapor 1 in the ‘Shock Orange’ edition and giving it a particularly eye-catching update. Originally made famous by Ronaldo in 2002 and later by Cristiano Ronaldo, the Vapor 1 is one of the most iconic models in football history. Now it is making a modern comeback as part of Nike's ‘Rain’ series.
The shoe comes with a synthetic upper in bright ‘Shock Orange’, complemented by white accents on the Swoosh, heel and sockliner. A special detail is the insole with the imprint ‘14082002’ - a direct reference to Ronaldo's debut for Sporting Lisbon. This makes this shoe not only a performance shoe, but also a collector's item with historical depth.
In technical terms, Nike is of course not stuck in the past: The Mercurial Vapor 1 RGN relies on Zoom Air cushioning and a revised stud plate from the current Mercurial Vapor 16 for optimum traction. The familiar, sleek design has also been retained.
