Nike Mercurial Vapor 14 FG Chlorine Blue/Laser Orange

The Nike Mercurial Vapor 14 Elite in Chlorine Blue, Marina and Laser Orange was Nike's first on-pitch Mercurial look of 2022. Released in January as the Blueprint pack, its colours take their cue from design blueprints. It was a refresh of the Vapor 14 that had launched a year earlier, with the technology unchanged.

The upper is Vaporposite, which evolved from the 2019 Mercurial 360: a grippy grid mesh over a premium lining, with an ACC coating for consistent touch in wet and dry conditions and a knit section through the lacing. A stiff internal chassis sits over the Aerotrak plate, whose grooved central spine and chevron studs are built for quick acceleration and sharp cuts. A large, semi-rigid heel tab doubles as a pull tab.

This pair is a US 12, brand new without original box. It's a Mercurial, so it runs narrower than most Nike boots, but reviewers found it more accommodating through the forefoot than earlier Vapors: true to size in length, with a medium width that stretches toward medium-wide. The upper feels stiff at first and takes three or four wears to settle to the foot.
