Nike Mercurial History event | Explore the iconic boot heritage and test yourself

At the Nike Mercurial History event, which took place in our flagship store on Strøget in Copenhagen, we had invited a few bootheads and others who shared our passion for the silo to join in for a session of intense boot-nerdiness. Our WebTV host JayMike and special guest Jorma Seabourne took everyone from 1998 all the way up to 2016, while answering any and all question anyone could possibly throw at them.

To cap off the event, Jorma and Jakob decided to also test the other attending Mercurial aficionados knowledge and put them through a pretty tough quiz, where the winner was naturally rewarded with a free pair of Nike Mercurial Superfly IV boots. A fair few did very admirably indeed and some even got close to the almost impossible elimination question.
