Adelaide captain Jordan Dawson showcases his artistic prowess by crafting a unique pair of customized boots for Enzo Fernandez, the Chelsea midfielder. Fernandez proudly sported these personalized boots during a recent match against Aston Villa.

Renowned for his talent, Dawson has become the go-to artisan for elite professional players who seek to add an extra touch of flair to their footwear. His impressive portfolio includes customized boots for notable players such as Darwin Nunez, Allan Saint-Maximin, and Alex Mac Allister. Now, Dawson turns his attention to Fernandez, his international teammate, creating a one-of-a-kind Nike Mercurial Vapor that reflects the Argentine midfielder’s World Cup pedigree.

Fernandez’s decision to wear the customized boots during the match against Aston Villa has sparked speculation about his future brand affiliation. Recently, Fernandez has been spotted in various Nike models, deviating from his usual Phantom GX and even experimenting with a pair of PUMA Ultras.

This latest switch suggests that he may be exploring new options, potentially signaling the end of his association with Nike. By enlisting Dawson to create a bespoke version of the Mercurial Vapors, Fernandez clearly demonstrates his willingness to explore different footwear choices.

The boots, possibly the Mercurial Vapor XIII from the ‘Nuevo White’ pack released in late 2019, feature a unique customization. The heel showcases a fading blue diamond geometric pattern, with lighter blue blending into the white base to represent the Argentina national colors, while the darker blue pays tribute to Chelsea.

Gold details adorn the Swoosh outline, three stars symbolizing Argentina’s three World Cup victories, and additional markings on the heels, including “AFA” on the left and “E8” on the right.
