Nike Launch Neymar Mercurial Lite Shin Pads - Football News

Nike's most popular shin pad has been given the signature Neymar treatment with a sleek design that features the Brazilian’s name in his trademark font. The Mercurial Lite guards are a favourite with amateurs and professionals due to their lightweight, simplistic design and the Neymar editions pack a stylish look.
 

When your feet are as quick as Neymar's and you've got more tricks up your sleeves than David Blaine you're going to get kicked, a lot, so you'll need a decent pair of shin pads and the Nike Mercurial Lite guards are as solid as they get. Minimalist construction with typical Swoosh flair the Mercurial Lites are an ultra-lightweight design engineered for performance and comfort - everyone knows, the sign of a good shin-pad is not noticing it's there.

It's a big year for Neymar with all eyes set to be on Brazil's star man at the 2014 World Cup in his home country. For Nike, Neymar is very much their next prodigy, a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo. That's not to say we're writing off the Ballon d'Or winner just yet but with Neymar 7 years younger than CR7 it's apparent that Nike will lean on the Barca man more and more and a signature boot can't be a million miles away.





The Neymar Mercurial Lite shin pads are a slick set that feature a delicate lime Swoosh at the top of each pad and are dominated by the bold, metallic 'Neymar' wording on the black backdrop. Top visuals and the comfortable low-profile construction provides protection without distraction. Sorted.
