Speed Football Boots - Nike Mercurial Vapor V Orion Blue/Metallic Silver/Dark Obsidian - 30/09/09
The Nike Vapor football boots, with their unique colourways, have become THE boots to wear if you want to make a statement on the football pitch! Nike have acquired quite a reputation for their striking colourways, and the Orion Blue/Metallic Silver/Dark Obsidian doesn't disappoint.
The last all-blue Vapor colourway we had was the Anthracite/Vivid Blue Vapor IV football boots, which were very popular with Didier Drogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. So with a blue colourway overdue, we think the Orion Blue is a great addition to the Vapor family.
The Nike Vapor V football boots are completely unique, as Nike have taken their popular Vapor IV series to the next level, combining elements of the innovative Vapor Superfly football boots.
Nike have retained the successful design and boot shape of the Vapor IV series, with the popular lace-cover and the Teijin synthetic upper. However, for the Vapor V football boots the synthetic upper is lighter and thinner to better mould the boot to the wearers foot, improving ball feel.
Nike have also created a "speed touch area", a unique print application featured at the front of the boot where the swoosh sits. This addition was designed after feedback from players including Cristiano Ronaldo and Robinho, to give more grip and enhance ball touch when dribbling the ball.
The Vapor V football boots implement Nike's Flywire technology, which fits snugly into a medial panel on the instep of the boot. With the laces tightened, you can feel the strong filaments wrap around your foot to give you extra support and a better second-skin fit, thus allowing for more flexibility and adaptability to the wearer's foot.
An advantage of the Nike Vapor V football boots is that they are available in a soft ground version. But of course, the firm ground versions maintain Nike's unique speed arrangement, with direct injected TPU studs configured for excellent traction and grip essential for acceleration and movement.
The stunning looking Orion Blue/Metallic Silver/Dark Obsidian Nike Vapor V football boots are available for pre-order now, with the boots officially hitting the shelves 1st November for around £130 GBP. And it will be great to see these boots hit the pitches, and find out what pro's choose these over the various colourways or the Superfly boots.
