The Mercurial Superfly IV headlines Nike's 'Metal Flash' pack but the Vapor X is still the key silo when it comes down to sales. The sleek design and top-end finish have established it amongst the greatest on the Mercurial line and the new "Bright Mango" wrap is as sharp as ever.
Capped with the metallic Swooshes found across the entire 'Metal Flash' pack, it's the simplicity of the Mercurial Vapor X that has installed it at the very top of the game. Single coloured upper with two-toned details on each release, Nike face a challenge to take this current generation to the next level once they inevitably give in to the innovation stopwatch.
The fit and feel of the Vapor X has given a new dimension to the Mercurial line, as we discovered in our 'Laced Up' review - the once blister ridden reputation has been abolished and the one piece upper ensures the most streamline design yet. With the 'Metal Flash' pack landing as the next official on pitch colourway, you can expect to see the likes of Ibrahimovic, Hazard and Raheem Sterling make the switch in the coming days.
