Original article published January 28th, 2025: The highly-anticipated Air Max 95 “Neon” retro for Summer 2025 is being supported by a whole slew of adjacent goodies from the Swoosh. The Beaverton brand has released “Neon” crossbody bags, socks, and hats inspired by the iconic original colorway in recent weeks, and we’re now learning that “Neon” Mercurial soccer cleats are en route for March 2025.

Tipped off by @am95ent on Instagram, the cleat does its best “Neon” impression by incorporating synthetic gradient sidewalls and more added paneling over the toe and heel. Bright “Neon Yellow” accents appear on the Swoosh, rubber cleat studs, and non-functional “eyelets” to round out the theme. Truth be told, while these are sure to have some buyers, the paneling of the chunky Air Max 95 translates a bit awkwardly onto the sleek Mercurial Vapor 16 Pro silhouette. With that being said, the cleat still serves Nike’s end goal of building hype for the “Neon” retro arriving this summer.

No solid release date has been mentioned at the time of this writing, but @am95ent reports a March 2025 arrival. The Mercurial Vapor 16 Pro typically retails for $160, although special editions have been known to command a slight premium.
