Nike Mercurial Vapor VI World Cup 2010 SG
New with box - slight peeling along sock liner, look closely on last pic
The Upper:
- The Vapor VI continued with the super lightweight Teijin synthetic material that was used on the previous Mercurial Vapor models
- Similar to the previous Vapor V, the lace cover was used for a secure, locked in fit and a maximized strike zone
- The Vapor VI did feature a slightly higher toe box than the previous models, making them a bit more spacious and not as tight as the other Mercurial models
The Sole Plate:
- Nike introduced the glass fiber sole plate, a major difference from the previous model
- The top model superfly used the carbon fiber material, but the glass fiber would remain as one of the most popular designs in terms of looks and performance
- The glass fiber was bit more flexible and not as stiff as the carbon fiber, making it a preferred choice among many pros
Notes and Comments:
- The Vapor VI was one of the most well built Mercurials that has held up quite well over time
- The upper was known for being more durable, with a simple, yet super effective design
- The sole plate remains as one of the greatest ever, lightweight, durable, and flexible
- This was part of the iconic World Cup pack produced for the 2010 WC
