Revealed: Cheap Nike Mercurial Vapor XII Pro Is Hidden Successor Of Discontinued Synthetic Nike Mercurial Vapor XI
Oct 28, 2018, by Chris
When Nike released the all-new Nike Mercurial 360 football boot, the Swoosh got rid of the famous Teijin material upper for the Nike Mercurial Vapor 360, replacing it with Flyknit. However, meanwhile people discovered that there is still a boot that is almost identical to the discontinued Nike Mercurial Vapor XI - the second-tier Nike Mercurial Vapor XII Pro. We take a closer look at the 'hidden synthetic Nike Mercurial Vapor XII football boots' (Thanks to @PedroMayo25 for the hint).
Nike Mercurial Vapor XII Pro Is Like 'Buying The Discontinued Nike Mercurial Vapor XI For a Lower Price
The visual design of the Nike Mercurial Vapor XII Pro soccer boot is almost the same as the design of the high-end Nike Mercurial Vapor XII Elite model, with the only small differences such as the studs collar and the finishing of each color.
Tech-wise, the Nike Mercurial Vapor XII Pro football boot does not feature the Flyknit upper as the all-new Nike Mercurial Vapor 360 football boot but a 'micro-textured, premium synthetic upper', which is actually just Nike's famous Teijin material (even though it is not called so - used for the discontinued Nike Mercurial Vapor XI).
What might be also surprising is that the plate design of the second-tier Nike Mercurial Vapor XII Pro is very similar as the one of the high-end Nike Mercurial Vapor XII Elite.

- Price: 120 Euro, 120 USD, 105 GBP
The Nike Mercurial Vapor XII Pro soccer cleats are available for 120 Euro (120 USD, 105 GBP), which makes them much cheaper than the Nike Mercurial Vapor XI (220 Euro) and the Flyknit Nike Mercurial Vapor XII (240 Euro).
The Nike Mercurial Pro version is also available as high-cut boot (Nike Mercurial Superfly 6 Pro), featuring the same upper with a textile collar.

Mi respuesta es SÍ. Da igual el nombre comercial que use Nike. Las propiedades de la microfibra utilizada es idéntica
Pd1 Al teijin se le puede poner frecuencia con calor, de ahí los relieves.

No More Volt: Reebok Santa Cruz 26-27 Third Kit Released
Brazilian club Santa Cruz FC and Reebok have officially unveiled the team's new third kit for the 26-27 season. Titled "A Profecia de 57", the special-edition release celebrates two defining moments in the club's history: the 1957 anthem written by Capiba that coined the nickname "O Terror do Nordeste", and the 2016 Copa do Nordeste title that fulfilled the prophecy ten years ago.
The Reebok Santa Cruz 26-27 third jersey introduces an elegant black and gold design. Across the black base, intricate golden fractured lines trace the geographical outline of Brazil's Northeast region. The front of the shirt features Santa Cruz's classic interlocking SCFC monogram badge rendered in metallic gold, mirrored by Reebok's vector logo on the opposite side. A sharp v-neck collar with gold trim and matching sleeve cuffs complete the look.
Subtle commemorative emblems highlighting "A Profecia de 57" and "O Terror do Nordeste" decorate the release alongside gold numbering on the reverse. Matching black shorts and socks with gold accents complete the new Santa Cruz third uniform.
