The next-gen Nike Mercurial football boots are designed to shows off what the silo is all about - speed. The orange Nike Mercurial launch edition features unique 'speed' Swooshes and the Mercurial M logo with the lettering Engineered for Speed on the outstep rear, both featuring a more than just subtle iridescent finish.
Tech-wise, the Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 Elite football boots are almost identical to the Superfly VI, as mentioned on this site before. Both share most features, including the Flyknit 360 upper, 3-D upper structure and speed-influenced traction, with the only major difference being the shorter collar on the Vapor.
Slated for release on 14 February 2018, we expect the secondary black colorway to be following slightly later. The RRP of the most advanced version, the Vapor XII Elite is USD 250 (EUR 240, GBP 190). The lower-tier models of the Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 boots will be called Mercurial Vapor XII Pro, Mercurial Vapor XII Academy & Mercurial Vapor XII Club.
