Original article published June 12th, 2026:
The story of Nike Cryoshot began with an idea to transform Ronaldo’s 1998 World Cup boots into a wearable street option, that first thought snowballing into a radical series of country-specific collaborations and additional in-house styles. But we’re not done yet.
Jordan Brand is putting its stamp on the Cryoshot line with the Air Jordan Cryoshot Mercurial Vapor 1, drawing inspiration from the cleats Ronaldo wore en route to winning his second World Cup with Brazil in 2002. While the original Mercurial R9 might occupy a more important place in the story of Nike Football broadly, the Mercurial Vapor 1 carries far more significance for Brazil and its fans. Jordan Brand has broken new ground this year with its Brazil partnership, delivering both on and off-pitch options, so it’s fitting that their Cryoshot honors one of the country’s greatest moments on the national stage.
Jordan Brand here swaps the Mercurial Vapor 1’s synthetic silver upper for a bold new red leather and suede execution, yet maintains the boot’s flashy character with an iridescent silver finish over an elephant print heel counter. The Jumpman logo stamps the tongue, while Mercurial Vapor 1 spikes sit within a carefully engineered TPU frame underfoot. Hidden underfoot is an MJ graphic inspired by Jordan Brand’s legendary “Frozen Moment” commercial, widely regarded by many as the greatest Jordan ad ever made.
The Air Jordan Cryoshot Mercurial Vapor 1 is available now in limited quantities at Nike’s Chinatown NYC pop-up. Retail is set at $210.
