‘It’s not just another shoe’: Inside the creation of Nike’s one-of-one boots for Ballon d’Or winner Megan Rapinoe

https://theathletic.com/1436623/2019/12/05/its-not-just-another-shoe-inside-the-creation-of-nikes-one-of-one-boots-for-ballon-dor-winner-megan-rapinoe/

Only a moment after Megan Rapinoe had been announced as the winner of the second-ever women’s Ballon d’Or award, Nike’s senior director of global communications, Heidi Burgett, revealed that the company had been prepared for the occasion by creating a pair of commemorative one-of-a-kind pink and gold Mercurials. From Lieke Martens to Carli Lloyd to Alex Morgan to Sam Kerr, Megan Rapinoe is the latest Nike athlete to get this type of tribute.

Although standard versions of the 2019 Mercurial 360 Vapor/Superfly can be purchased by the public, and Nike gets attention for the novelty of one-off productions, these boots were the latest example of the effort that goes into something that will never reach the market. Even with the knowledge that there is some sort of commercial reward for Nike when they produce commemorative customs for their athletes, the designers and staff take these efforts seriously. 

Complicating the matter is that Nike usually has to get the ball rolling long before an award is given or a milestone reached. There is some risk involved — that the boots might never see the light of day, which has happened before. That, of course, is the joy and heartbreak of sports, and something Nike has no control over.

But it also means that when the company is able to share their efforts, it makes it more special for everyone involved. Nike considers commemorative boots as gifts rather than promotional materials for the company — so much so that the team behind the commemorative Mercurials for Rapinoe didn’t even want to go on the record about the design process. It was a team effort, they insisted, and one only meant to highlight Megan Rapinoe and her accomplishments.

For this particular boot, the inspiration is clear enough. The Nike design team started with the 2019 Mercurial 360 — a boot that Rapinoe had been one of the first to wear last summer at the World Cup. In fact, she was the first player to score while wearing the latest version. From there, the team moved onto the colorway and took inspiration from two sources: Rapinoe’s signature hair color she started sporting this year, and trophy gold. 

It was more than just getting the pink right — a shade which apparently took real effort to meet the design team’s standards. The trick to commemorative boots for a specific player is that they have to be designed without that person’s input, but still take inspiration from them. The designers tried to copy Rapinoe’s love of accessorizing with her fashion, but the concept never translated to a smaller scale in a way that worked.
