The special Nike Mercurial Vapor 13 Elite FG cleat is executed in a vibrant pink and gold colorway that draws inspiration from Rapinoe’s signature hair color and the gold hardware she has won thus far in her illustrious playing career. Her first and last name appears prominently on the lateral sides of the boot, with the Swoosh’s famous “Just Do It” tagline featured on the medial side. The heel counter and sockliner carry the four stars Rapinoe and her American teammates proudly sport on their national team jerseys. The stars represent the team’s four FIFA Women’s World Cup championship titles.
According to the brand, this special edition Nike Mercurial Vapor 13 Elite FG will not be sold at retail stores.
