Nike have gone back into the archives and unveiled their latest sneaker franchise, fusing the worlds of football, fashion, and footwear in an unprecedented release. 

Coined ‘Cryoshot’, Nike’s latest drop has reimagined some of its most infamous boots and reinterpreted them for fans who carry style seamlessly between the pitch and the streets. 

Inspired by cryogenic preservation, where DNA is conserved for long periods at low temperatures, the collection stems from a desire to honour and preserve Nike Football nostalgia and repurpose it for the modern age. 

Drawing inspiration from the iconic Tiempo Ronaldinho R10 and 1998 Mercurial R9, Cryoshot blends nostalgia with design innovation, crystallising Nike’s heritage and unlocking it for the future. The semi-transparent midsole is a nod to Nike Football’s legacy on the pitch while displaying the repurposed tooling of the iconic silhouettes for everyday wear. 

Debuted over the Men’s Champions League Final weekend, by PSG’s Warren Zaire-Emery and Inter Milan’s Nicolo Barella, expect to see more of the biggest names in the game rocking this collection in the build-up to World Cup 2026.  

Nike have yet to announce an official release date, so stay tuned to Footballer Fits for when it drops.
