Not to be outdone by bigger brother 'Superfly', the original speed boot – the Mercurial Vapor - has also received a makeover in the very eye-catching Granite/Purple/White/Red colours. Check out our full and exclusive pictures of the brand new Nike Mercurial Vapor VII football boots...
Before Superfly came the Nike Mercurial Vapor; the original speed boots worn by the original Ronaldo. Now in their 7th incarnation, the world famous Vapor is showing no signs of slowing down. Take a look and share your thoughts with the SoccerBible community online, on Twitter and on Facebook.
The Nike Mercurial Vapor boot range has an army of loyal fans unlike any other boot out there. We can now show you what Nike's newest 7th generation Vapor boots have to offer. Check out our exclusive imagery of the new Granite/Purple/White/Red Nike Mercurial Vapor 7 football boots as we take you through all you need to know!
With an eye-catching new colourway, Nike are sending their new Vapor VII range into the new season with one aim; to get noticed! Nike's newest Mercurial colour-way has been seen in competitive action already this summer on the international stage, but they're set to make a big splash when the 11/12 season comes around!
Designed to 'put players in the spotlight', the new Nike Vapor VII has been created to enhance visibility to your teammates! The new striking heel pattern is designed to decrease team-mates decision making time by making it easier for him to spot you on the field. The ultimate aim is to create a faster pass rate to strikers and wingers.
One of the key differences of the new Nike Vapor 7 football boots is the removal of the lace-cover. The lace-cover, that has featured on the Vapor series since the iconic Mercurial Vapor IV, has been removed by Nike and is no longer one of the key distinguishing features that separates it from its Superfly relation.
The new Granite/Purple/White/Red upper of the Mercurial Vapor VII is constructed from the same Tejin micro-fibre that is designed to improve comfort, flexibility and help a players touch. The upper is enhanced with specifically placed 'ball-control coating' on the lateral forefoot, to aid control of the ball at top speed.
One of the Vapor's stand-out features is still present on the Nike Vapor 7 football boots. The Tepex glass-fibre chassis, that has become a Vapor favourite, brings you close to the Vapor's enhanced traction elements. The Vapor Traction II design means the forefoot studs are shaped to offer multi-directional traction, with central arms for acceleration/deceleration and optimal sprint traction.
The Vapor 7's sole-plate includes the same direct injected studs that incorporates 8 cored-out studs to provide a dramatic 12% weight reduction whilst enhancing strength and durability. Acceleration and sprinting is further enhanced by concentrated forefoot zonal spikes, inspired by tracks spikes to optimise grip at toe-off for an extra burst of speed, giving you an advantage over the opposition.
Nike have lowered the price of the new Vapor 7 soccer shoes. Previously set at £180, Nike have slashed the price to £150 GBP / $240 USD / €170 EURO (£125 cheaper than the Mercurial Superfly III football boots!). These stunning new Granite/Purple/White/Red Nike Mercurial Vapor 7 football boots are expected to be available from 1st July, and can be pre-ordered as of June 21.
