The boots drop February 1st.
As many of you close followers know that I live in Portland,Oregon and with Nike and adidas in the same city. You can bet that someone is playing in a pair of sample Vapor 9’s or the next generation of adizero because both Nike and adidas have testers test sample boots to get an idea on durability and fit even before they hit the shelves. Those of you that do not know, I grew up in the hot bed of when the Vapor was the king of speed boots and I still think the boot and color ways need improvement. So i guess there has always been a soft spot in my heart for the boot series...
The copper upper and if you can imagine a black swoosh… I would take it one step further and can you imagine if Nike released a anniversary color way to debut the MV9 that pays tribute to the OG R9. Of course if Nike was smart they would make the launch limited to drive sales and so hopefully not everyone and their grandmother would be walking around in the boots.
In the end, I thought many of you would enjoy this teaser of this unknown/unique MV9 copper boot. Enjoy the images my fellow boot nerds. The boots officially drop February 1st.
Recently, I had a guy come into my work and show me his custom copper Vapor 8’s that he received from someone at Nike. I assure you the boots are legit and not fake because I put them on to test the fit and the outsole flexibility. With these unique boots the upper has indents much like that of a golf ball. You would think with the indents that the upper would be thicker but the upper was a micro fiber that was so soft that I was able to move it with the touch of my finger. At first i was not sure if these were a one time make or if this could be a future release. However, with a little more research I found out that this boot was a sample of the next vapor. The Vapor 9 to be exact. With the upper after a quick juggling session the dimples on the boots upper seemed to suction cup the ball and added in extra grip.
