The Nike R9 Mercurial was the source of inspiration behind this Dunk Low Supreme from top to bottom. The Nike Mercurial R9 debuted in 1998 and was the signature soccer boot for Brazil’s Ronaldo and was the first Nike soccer boot to use Zoom Air cushioning. Like the Mercurial R9 these Dunks also feature Zoom Air along with a clear sole overlaying a graphic that depicts the bottom of the Mercurial R9. On the upper Nike went with color blocking, piped edges, and added stitching details to resemble the Mercurial R9 even more. These retail for $125.  I'm picking mine up today.
