Nike Mercurial Vapor I USA FG

Nike Mercurial Vapor I USA FG

New with box - no visible defects, however these boots are very fragile and only recommended for collecting, not for use

The Upper:

• A one piece lightweight Teijin synthetic material was used similar to the original Mercurial Vapor, Nike referred to it as the NikeSkin
• 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
• This women's version used a slightly different line design along the outsides, using dozens of crossing white lines for a more intricate 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 FG sole plate continued with a one piece plastic design with a curved spine through the forefoot for optimal stud pressure

• The insoles feature the USA soccer emblem and the boots are made in a USA colorway
• A major step by Nike, introducing the first ever women's specific Mercurial line, made for the best team in the world
