Cole Palmer boots typically are that of the Nike Mercurial Vapor. Ever since his days as a youth player, he has worn Nike boots. Palmer had a brief stint with the Phantom VSN 2 before testing out a couple of Superfly pairs. He eventually settled with the low-cut Mercurials. Currently on its 16th generation, the Vapor offers Palmer with a thin upper profile for a barefoot feel for the ball, a comfortable yet secured fit and a cushioned underfoot sensation courtesy of the Zoom Air unit.
Cosmic Speed 2 Vapor
The shiny Vapor 16 Cosmic Speed 2 fit Palmer’s status as one of the hottest prospects by the time he wore them. The Vapor part of the pack was heavily influenced by previous boots that had the Bright Mango colourway. Cosmic Speed 2 Pack borrowed from the playbook of the XXV Pack and kicked it up a notch by giving the Vapor and the Superfly their respective colourway on this special release.
