Ronaldo Tests Nike Vapor VIII Football Boots?
UPDATE 10/10 - We've been able to get hold of a high-res image of Ronaldo in his new Mercurial Vapor VIII's, for a close-up look to see if there are any tell-tale signs of what we can expect. It was last week Cristiano Ronaldo sent the online boot world into a frenzy after attending an international training session wearing the suspected Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII! Nike have equipped their Mercurial headline act with an all-new pair of blacked out Vapor 8 football boots, giving the exciting new speed boots their first professional testing!
The Nike Mercurial Vapor VIII is anticipated to arrive with a dramatic overhaul. Nike are expected to pull the plug on the fading Superfly range, with the new Vapor 8 set to take centre stage as Nike's premium boot. Can Nike re-gain their position as the kings of speed with the new Mercurial Vapor VIII?
A lot is expected of the new Nike Vapor VIII. It looks to be the boots most significant overhaul since the original Superfly as Nike attempt to regain pole position in the speed market. As Cristiano Ronaldo's boots show, the new Nike Vapor 8 football boots will feature a re-designed stud configuration - set on a glass fibre chassis - with just two studs on the heel.
The real test facing the upcoming Nike Vapor VIII is on the scales. Although Nike aren't expected to compete gram-for-gram with the adizero with emphasis still being placed on speed, many will anticipate the Nike Vapor 8 to slim down. Other changes we could be in stall for is a re-designed upper. Ronaldo's blacked-out Vapor VII football boots look significantly sleeker in profile and fit!
As we've come to expect, Nike remain tight-lipped on any information surrounding the new Nike Vapor 8 football boots. It looks like we're in line for a series of Vapor 8 Boot Spy's over the coming months!
