The Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 Elite was a controversial boot in that it didn't feature a Teijin synthetic upper, but instead one made from Flyknit. Long time Vapor fans might not agree entirely, but overall, it was a really solid football boots and one of my personal favorite Vapor models to play in. Just over a year later, the Vapor 13 is here, a boot that looks very similar, but couldn't feel more different!
In today's video we review the Nike Mercurial Vapor 13 Elite, going over all of the details, changes and new technology that Nike have incorporated into what is a hugely improved take on a Flyknit Vapor! We get a lot of small "update" type releases these days, but this is not a small update, it's a proper step forward! What do you think of the Vapor 13?

Joben, just a quick one on these boots. I have been wearing a pair for a few training sessions now, the first Mercurial Vapor / Superfly's I have ever owned. Loving them, but today was the first time I have worn them in the rain. Only a light rain, so the ground was still firm but wet on top. Anyway I noticed that my feet got wet in the boots, not something I particularly have an issue with football boots. Is this normal for these models, or have my boots sprung a leak somewhere? This wasn't like just a bit damp, I could feel how wet my socks were like I had been standing in a puddle. Cheers, Jim.

Hi! Love your videos! I stay up to 1 o clock (sweden) every night to watch your videos as you put them out. Although I have an idea on how you can improve: Could you use your rating chart and put in every new boot in there in the end of every unboxing video? And when you do a new recension on a new colourway you can update the rating on the boot. If you start doing this then it would be supercool if you can do a shoutout that I came up with the idea! :D Also could you leave a comment how you rate this and how you compare it to the x 19.1 and nemeziz 19.1. I have used Adidas speedboots for the last 8 years, but maybe I will try these. Thanks for doing a great job!
