Nike Cryoshot Mercurial Vapor R9 OG

The Nike Cryoshot Mercurial Vapor R9 OG with style code IQ8160-400 turns one of football's most iconic boots into a wearable lifestyle sneaker. Part of Nike's Cryoshot project, which reimagines legendary football silhouettes as street-ready shoes, this pair channels the original R9 Mercurial Vapor made famous by Ronaldo. The Varsity Royal and Varsity Maize colourway nods straight to that Brazilian heritage, delivering a bold, nostalgic look with everyday comfort.

Colorway: Varsity Royal / Varsity Maize

The Nike Cryoshot Mercurial Vapor R9 OG pairs a Varsity Royal blue upper with bright Varsity Maize accents, recreating the unmistakable colour blocking of the original R9 boot. Metallic silver detailing catches the light across the Swoosh and branding, while sail and black hits sharpen the contrast. The build swaps studs for a sneaker-ready outsole, keeping the football DNA intact while making the IQ8160-400 easy to wear on the street with denim, track pants or shorts.

How does the Nike Cryoshot Mercurial Vapor R9 OG fit?

The Nike Cryoshot Mercurial Vapor R9 OG generally fits true to size for most wearers, so you can usually take your regular Nike sneaker size. The sleek, sporty upper offers a snug, secure feel. If you have wider feet, sit between two sizes or prefer more room, going half a size up on the IQ8160-400 can add extra comfort.
