Palmer’s Football Boots

Dean Ariola

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.

Vapor 15 XXV Pack

Palmer wore a customised Vapor 15, where he had shiver emoticons as well as the flags of England and Caribbean island of Saint Kitts and Nevis displayed, from the XXV pack. Nike decided to put a volt accent on the Swoosh to somehow differentiate it at a glance from the Superfly. The boot had a predominantly silver colourway with tonal repeating patterns of Mercurial brandings and logos to celebrate the silo’s 25th anniversary

Who is Cole Palmer?

Cole Palmer was born in Wythenshawe, Manchester on the 6th of May 2002. He was a Manchester United fan, but ended up joining Manchester City to begin his Academy years. Palmer was able to make it to the senior team in 2020/21, and was part of the treble-winning 2022/23 squad before signing with Chelsea for the following season.

Palmer was part of the England squad that finished as runners-up in Euro 2024. Despite being limited to substitute appearances, he was able to make those minutes count. He provided the assist to Watkin’s winner in the semifinal, while scoring a goal himself in the final against Spain to bring England back into contention.

Cold Palmer

Goals and assists were the elements that fuelled his breakthrough first season with Chelsea in 2023/24. Because of his composed finishing in open play and penalties, he garnered the nickname Cold Palmer. Acknowledging his rising reputation, Palmer performed one of football’s recognisable goal celebration-the Shiver.
