As the top European leagues get set to start back up in August, you can expect to see the top players representing Nike wearing new, black colorway editions of their signature shoes. Pictured above you can see some of the latest offerings including the Mercurial Vapor V (black/volt), Total90 Laser II (black/white/orange blaze), and the Tiempo Legend III (black/white) worn by Drogba, Rooney, and Cole respectively.

In addition to these top boots, you will also see a number of players representing the recently relaunched Mercurial Vapor Superfly in the same black/volt colorway as its close cousin, the Vapor V. Players such as Clint Dempsey will be wearing these featherweight cleats, and Ronaldo has already been seen sporting them as he was introduced as a new member of Real Madrid.

Regardless of the player or even the shoe, Nike is looking to make a bold, unified statement across all of their soccer boot ranges that the elite wear black this season. Players looking show their status as an elite, and those looking to be like their Euro-league idols will be clamoring for these new colorways, so start promoting now!
