Mercurial Vapor 12 Elite FG 2017 Blue Always Forward

The revolution that changed everything. The Mercurial Vapor 12 Elite FG made history as the first speed boots to introduce a 360-degree continuous thread construction, marking the beginning of a new era in sports design and captivating attacking players worldwide.

Inspired by the anatomy and grip of the fastest felines on the planet, these boots eliminated the classic rigid, one-piece soleplate. Instead, they introduced an innovative modular plate divided into two: a front "claw" designed to dig into the grass and accelerate like a spring, and a rear zone structured exclusively for sudden braking.

Their upper casing was a true engineering milestone: the ultralight thread fully embraces the foot (even beneath the insole), providing an anatomical fit so snug that it feels like the boot has been painted onto your skin. Additionally, the synthetic control coating was fused directly with each fiber, achieving an incredibly soft, flexible, and sticky feel with the ball.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

• Vapor Design: Classic low-cut silhouette that maximizes agility and ankle joint freedom.
• 360 Evolution: The first generation to use enveloping thread around the entire foot to eliminate empty spaces and offer a 100% personalized fit.
• Integrated Touch: Premium thread treated to ensure consistent friction and ball control on both dry and wet pitches.
• Podular (Cheetah) Sole: Plate divided into two independent modules that mimic the natural movement of the foot when sprinting, drastically reducing the overall weight of the boot.
• Feline Traction: Aggressive Chevron studs, strategically placed in the forefoot for explosive accelerations and in the heel for sudden stops on Firm Ground (FG).
• Internal Chassis: Structure that hugs the arch of the foot from below, ensuring total lockdown at maximum speed without causing chafing.
