Nike Mercurial Vapor XIII Elite FG Future Lab Laser Crimson / Black
Comes with original box and no bag.
Nike make their first major moves of the new year, backing up the release of the next generation PhantomVSN II with the rest of the roster. All decked out in a combination of red and black with silver accents to complete the ‘Future Lab’ pack, it drops as the first on-pitch collection from the Swoosh for 2020.
There’s no doubting that the main talking point surrounding Nike’s ‘Future Lab’ pack will be the shiny and new PhantomVSN II, the brand’s first next-gen silo of the decade, but it also features a strong supporting cast as the PhantomVNM, Mercurial and Tiempo are all unveiled in the ‘Future Lab’ colourings to arrive as Nike's first full on-pitch refresh since the summer.
The Mercurial Superfly and corresponding Vapor adopts a strong "Laser Crimson" base, while the outline of the Swoosh comes in black. A slight change up in aesthetic is present as there’s no sign of the now-familiar 'Mercurial' print on the lower heel area. Instead it’s been replaced by a gradient design along with a silver Mercurial stamp of approval. Red Mercurial? They'll sell themselves these puppies.
