Nike Mercurial Vapor III Metallic Silver R9 FG

Nike Mercurial Vapor III Metallic Silver R9 FG New with box - impeccable perfect condition The Upper: EVERYONE remembers the Vapor 3 circa 2006/2007, the coolest and nicest boots on the market, and today, still one of the nicest boots ever The Vapor III used a full Teijin synthetic material throughout the upper, a newly introduced synthetic by Nike The Teijin material was the lightest, sleekest, and shiniest material at the time with the Vapor III sporting primarily 2 tone colorways with some of the nicest colors ever This is a signature R9 edition with the R9 logo on the tongue The Sole Plate: Nike switched from a one piece plastic sole plate to a newly constructed directly injected bladed stud configuration Using less materials with a super durable and lightweight plastic configuration made these boots the lightest Mercurial at the time Nike also started to use carbon fiber on the heel cup for extra stability and reinforcement Notes and Comments: The coolest boots at the time, and perhaps the coolest boots ever. Sleeker, sexier, lighter, and overall just way nicer than anything ever made And if you did have a pair way back, then you remember, that heel cup and those blisters were a nightmare! But after the first few wears, the boots were incredible Nike would go on to make over a dozen absolutely beautiful Vapor III colorways, including some exclusive R9 editions With a lineup full of studs rocking the Vapor III, including R9, Thierry Henry, CR7, Drogba and many more, this was one of the most exciting Mercurial launches ever
