Nike Mercurial Vapor IX Review

Nike Vapor IX with ACC

Is there a bigger release in the boot world than when Nike announce they are releasing a new Vapor? Again the hype surrounding this latest 9th installment, or the Mercurial Vapor IX, caused a frenzy of action online and not even the wildly colorful debut releases deferred attention away. And with the likes of CR7, Ibrahimovich and Theo Walcott, attention has been fully focused on the new release. I've had a pair for the past few weeks and have been putting them through their paces to see just how much difference there is with the new dimpled synthetic upper! This Fireberry colorway, plus the Sunset, are currently available to buy at WeGotSoccer.

Breaking Down Our Growing Boot Options!

Other Soccer Cleat Companies

Have you ever noticed the amount of boot options we currently have in the US and how many new releases hit the market each week?

So, a few weeks back I shared my thoughts on specific companies with our email subscribers and it got a fantastic response.

Adidas Predator LZ – Vivid Yellow/Vivid Pink

Adidas Predator in Vivid Yellow

What's With This Colorway? There seems to be a craze with Yellow releases of late and Adidas has added another option in the form of this Predator LZ. But where others stick with moderate shades of detailing, Adidas incorporate and tasty splash of Vivid Pink. All-in-all, there is a lot of Vivid going on with this one. The fade from Yellow to Black on the side of the boot creates an interesting shade of Gold. Personally, I'm going to stick it out with other recent colorway releases over this flamboyant effort!

So, what makes the new Predator so different from previous editions? On this release, you get 5 different areas where technology has been employed, producing 5 different levels of performance. Rather than being a Power boot, this latest release is more of a hybrid that offers players more control right throughout their game.
