\n Boot Contract Speculation: Paris Saint-Germain left-back Nuno Mendes has caused significant speculation about his boot contract by training in Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 boots instead of his usual Adidas footwear.
\n Previous Adidas Ambassador: Mendes has a long-standing contract with Adidas, serving as a key ambassador for their F50 speed silo, suggesting his deal with Adidas may be expiring or has already ended.
\n Imminent Switch Indication: His choice to wear a retail colorway of Nike boots, rather than a disguised prototype, strongly indicates that contract negotiations with Nike are well advanced or a switch is imminent, representing a potential significant signing for Nike in the speed boot segment. <\/p>\n

The Portuguese international has long been under contract with Adidas, acting as one of the primary ambassadors for the Three Stripes’ speed silo, the revived F50 line. Seeing him step onto the training pitch in a pair of branded Nike boots strongly suggests that his deal with Adidas may be coming to an end or already expired.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mendes opted for the high-cut Nike Mercurial Superfly 11 in the ‘Break Em’ launch colorway. The sighting is particularly notable because he wore the retail colorway rather than a blackout or disguised prototype, which is often a strong indicator that contract negotiations are well advanced or that a switch is imminent.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While neither Nike nor Adidas has made an official announcement, boot switches during early training sessions frequently precede major endorsement changes. If Nuno Mendes makes the switch to the Swoosh permanently, it would represent a significant signing for Nike in the speed boot segment, taking away one of Adidas’s most exciting young full-backs.<\/p>\n

Do you think Nuno Mendes will officially join Nike, or is he simply testing alternative boots while negotiating a new contract with Adidas? Let us know in the comments below.<\/p>\n
