Nike Mercurial Vapor I OG SG

Nike Mercurial Vapor I OG SG

New without box - some oxidation on the studs and an odd minor scratch on the sole plate from storage but overall perfect condition

The Upper:

• A one piece lightweight Teijin synthetic material was used similar to the original Mercurial Vapor, Nike referred to it as the NikeSkin
• Newly designed lines on the upper made for a sleek, streamlined cosmetic design
• The sock liner used a super lightweight cushion around the heel cup for a licked down fit and added comfort
• This new synthetic replaced the former KNG-100 synthetic, for an even lighter design

The Sole Plate:

• Nike continued with a plastic heel cup in the back, to help keep a snug fit and to prevent heel slipping
• The SG sole plate used the Nike SnapStuds, aluminum tipped studs 
  

Notes and Comments:

• The very first ever Mercurial Vapor I in the original launch colorway
  
• The newly designed upper was the lightest and strongest material at the time
• The sole plate made some major changes with a one piece plastic sole plate that was lighter than any sole plate on the market
