Boot Spy > Pato & Robinho Train In New Mercurial Colourway

 

The Nike Vapor VIII is ready to make its first major splash since the European Championships. Brazilian duo Alexandre Pato and Robinho have given us our best look yet at the new unreleased Vapor VIII colourway on the eve of their Champions League tie with Anderlecht.

The bright blue and orange colourway will be the fifth release to the Vapor VIII range and will be part of Nike's Fall/Winter 2012 collection scheduled for launch later this month. Check out our imagery of Pato & Robinho's first run-out wearing the super-slick boots.

 


The colourway has obviously made an impression on Pato, who has made a return to the Mercurial silo after a season of wearing the Nike T90 Laser IV. Following the low player-uptake of the Seaweed/Volt/Challenge Red Vapor VIII, we're backing this boot to finally replace the White/Red Clash colourway currently on the feet of most Vapor wearers.



This weekend's high profile Premier League fixtures will set the stage for a perfect launch with Arsenal taking on Man City and Man United playing Liverpool – expect to see new colourways across all four of Nike's silos. Before then, all eyes will be on the San Siro to see if Pato & Robinho give the boots their first taste of Champions League football.


What are your thoughts on Nike's new colourway? We'll be bringing you more first-hand images of the boot exclusively online soon. For now, let us know your first impressions. Join the conversation online, on Twitter and on Facebook.

so sick!!!!  great combination of colors, absolutely love it!  

not the only boot Nike will release for the fall obviously...for a while, I think there was a leaked picture for the fall 2012 line, this turquoise boot will be the mercurial colorway, the CTR will be white and green with yellow accents, the t90 will have mango as the base color, and the Tiempo will be blue...this is just a guess but I think it is true because I saw it a catalog-type of photo.

These will be leatherette. Like the clash cw.  Word on the street is that there will be toe reinforcement, to prevent ripping at the front of the foot. Shouldn't affect the weight at all. New t90 cw will have the Nike ACC.

Looks like Pato is dissapointed he wasn't the only one to get these in the 4th picture, he's lookin at Robinho's feet with that look we've all seen when you turn up wearing the same boots as someone else.
