Nike Mercurial Vapor 17 Elite FG
The Nike Mercurial Vapor 17 Elite FG from the Break'Em Pack: the lightest boot Nike builds, worn by Yassine Bounou.
The paper-thin Atomknit upper wraps your foot as a one-piece bootie and gives you a direct touch on goal kicks. The FlyLite soleplate drops the weight to around 150 grams and fires you off your line. A football boot for goalkeepers who never waste a tenth of a second rushing out.
THE KEEPER CHECK
The Vapor deliberately skips an air unit and puts everything into low weight. The thin Atomknit gives you a precise feel on goal kicks, and the reinforced U-shape heel counter keeps you stable through saves and sharp direction changes. Keepers on the Mercurial include Greece's Odysseas Vlachodimos and Slovakia's Martin Dubravka.
