Officially released in May 2016, the Mercurial Vapor XI is Nike's headline speed boot coming under the category of speed and attack-minded play. Under the slogan 'Be Fast, Be Mercurial', the speed incarnation is created for the worlds best strikers and wingers, players who want to destroy defences with devastating acceleration and explosive speed. Just like its Mercurial counterpart, the Superfly, the Vapor is headlined by some of the world's best players including Eden Hazard, Isco, Luka Modric, and Douglas Costa.
For high speed the Vapor XI weighs just 167 grams and comes equipped with a super soft, textured Teijin synthetic upper which moulds to your foot for a responsive fit and high-speed control. A new textured groove pattern dubbed Speed Ribs is featured on the upper for assisted close control when dribbling at high speeds. Lacking the Dynamic Fit Collar the Vapor's tongue is merged into the upper for a tongue-less design of which first featured on its predecessor Vapor X for added comfort and feel. For ultimate traction, arrowhead-like chevron bladed studs feature upon the Nylon chassis for increased acceleration and braking power.
For added support and stability the Vapor X is equipped with a Nylon chassis which helps transfer energy directly to the boots, reducing pressure on the foot while adding support and stability. Added benefits include the lucrative All Conditions Control coating which provides optimal ball control in wet or dry conditions, a soft and minimalist heel counter to comfortably lock the foot in place. For added lockdown and support there are medial & lateral reinforcements, the Vapor have a low-profile toe box, a contoured sockliner to help reduced stud pressure and just the right amount of cushioning for your speed. If the Mercurial Vapor XI is above your price range you could try the Veloce, Victory, or Vortex editions designed for junior, youth and developing footballers.
