Just a few days into the 2018 World Cup, one boot model has already established a commanding lead in the goal-scoring charts. The Nike Mercurial—specifically the Vapor XII and Superfly VI from the “Just Do It” pack—accounts for 14 of the 25 goals scored so far. That represents over half (56%) of all tournament goals.
Goal Breakdown by Boot Model
- Nike Mercurial – 14 goals
- adidas Predator – 3 goals
- adidas X18 – 3 goals
- Nike Hypervenom – 1 goal
- Puma ONE – 1 goal
- Puma Future – 1 goal
Notable Mercurial Scorers
Players wearing the Mercurial silo include Hirving Lozano, Luka Modrić, Aleksandar Kolarov, Yussuf Poulsen, Steven Zuber, Philippe Coutinho, Jose Giminez, Oghenekaro Etebo, Artem Dzyuba, Denis Cheryshev (with two goals), and Cristiano Ronaldo (hat-trick).
Dominance of the Mercurial Silo
While Nike boots overall are worn by over 60% of World Cup players, the concentration of goals from a single silo is remarkable. Nike’s only other goal came from Yury Gazinsky, who wore the Nike Hypervenom. As the tournament progresses, the numbers will shift, but the Mercurial’s early lead is clear.
