While most of the football world’s attention will be on the re-emergence of the Mercurial Vapor Superfly, it shouldn’t be forgotten that also revealed today is the latest version of the Nike Mercurial Vapor V.
On pre-order like the Superfly, it comes in the Black / Voltage Yellow colourway which certainly struck a chord with Footy Boots fans when we first released details of the boot a few weeks before its initial launch. Indeed, this was the colourway that seemed to score best with those of you who contacted us.
The Mercurial Vapor V is built around Nike Flywire – a revolutionary construction method that uses super-light filaments to help make the Vapor V strong and light.
Weighing in at just 230 grams, the Vapor V features an ultra-light Teijin synthetic upper that adjusts to the shape of your foot for total comfort. And its carbon composite outer works with direct-injected studs to race-tune your acceleration.
The stud at the toe end of the Vapor V is designed to give grip whilst twisting and turning at high speed and the entire stud configuration should help your traction and penetration with the playing surface.

Yep - a very decent effort. Think the Superfly has the edge on looks but at £100 more expensive, looks aren’t everything.
