A year ago, Trend Hunter featured the first version of Nike's Mercurial Superfly Vapor and now I'd like to direct your attention to the Mercurial Superfly Vapor II. Nike has somehow made an already revolutionary soccer shoe even better.
The main feature that makes the Mercurial Superfly Vapor II so special is its adaptive traction technology. Essentially what that entails is that the cleat's pegs adjust to the terrain it makes contact with. Crazy, right?
