Adidas X Copy? All-New Nike FTR10 & Next-Gen Nike Mercurial Prototype Boots Leaked
Dec 22, 2017, by Chris
Some days ago, we revealed that two blackout prototype soccer boots were unlike previously reported not two next-generation Adidas X cleats but two prototypes of Nike 2018 soccer shoes. Now we know what they are...
First Prototype (Left) - High-End Nike FTR10 Prototype Boots
The left boot is a prototype of Nike FTR10 football shoe. The all-new control cleat (Magista killer) features a 3-D control texture that covers almost the completely upper of the boots as well as an sock-line collar and a 'ghost-lacing system' (laces hidden under a thin extra layer).
Check out all about the Nike FTR10 football boots.
Second Prototype - Next-Gen Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 Prototype Boots
While it was easy to see that the first prototype is a prototype of the all-new Nike FTR10 soccer shoe, the second prototype is more hard to identify. At first glance, the boot looks very much like the Adidas X and Adidas X 17 football boots. However, the upper of the cleats appears to be similar to the Nike FTR10 soccer cleat. What is this boot?
It is an early prototype of the next-generation Nike Mercurial Vapor XII football boots that will be released in February 2018. Yeap,they are very similar to the Adidas X.
Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 - Final Prototype
What do you think of the all-new Nike FTR10 soccer cleat? Do you think the second prototype (Mercurial) it is a copy of the Adidas X? Let us know in the comments below and check out all boot leaks in the Boot Calendar.
