1. That spine - all it does is trap a lot of mud which is a pain to clean out 2. I took James very seriously regarding the the Superfly vs Vapor differentiation. So now I have the Superfly 7 and the Vapor 14 which is best of both worlds! (though the only reason I had picked up the superfly 7 over the vapor 13 in the first place was that I actually found a higher discount, and thus lower final price) on the Superflies. The collar does nothing and makes it more difficult to put on)

I tell you what, I’m a football 🏈 kicker and these boots are my go to for kicking. The way it grips your foot feels like your kicking the ball barefoot. When worn down after awhile the boot really becomes a sock like boot. I will say that the only problem I have with them is that when worn down the insole becomes uncomfortable. In my experience my feet start to crap. But other than that the boot is a perfect kicking boot and I recommend them to any football 🏈 kickers out there. Go grab yourself a pair...

I would like to see a low cut synthetic vapor and a low cut knitted superfly. They both should have flywire cables and the Superfly's soleplate should be a mix of glass fiber and carbon fiber with a new stud pattern. The superfly should be lighter but both should weigh from 150 to 175 grams in a size 9 us. The superlfy's knitted upper should have either a vapor 9's or a hypervenom phantom's texture on it's knitted upper. They should abandon the mid-cut design all together and make it wrap around your foot like a flyknit ultra.

This was a huge chance to bring FlyPrint into the spotlight. Maybe it wasn’t ready for primetime or there was something else. But ever since the Air Zoom Mercurial was teased I’ve been dying to see FlyPrint on a Nike boot. The Superfly used to mean something in the Mercurial line. It was something that was over the top and cool. Now its just a flyknit collar. The Vapor Superfly 1 is still the coolest boot ever in my opinion despite it’s flaws. My favorite Mercurial is the Vapor 8 for what it’s worth. Loved the super thin and super soft teijin upper, deep lacing system, the narrow cut, with the glass-fiber sole plate. They looked and felt great. Well maybe except when you got stepped on. My least favorite was the Superfly 5, had major issues with the fit in the heel in that boot. Felt too shallow and the liner was pretty slick. Very underwhelming.

Since I’ve already posted a longer comment with the podcast, I’ll keep it short here. I completely agree Joshimus. Nike’s issue isn’t solely with the mercurial line though, I think their overall strategy is a bit in the wind at the moment, and the people at Nike need to take a serious look at what’s going on. With the variety of technologies they have at hand, there’s no reason not to have a well-defined lineup of 4-5 boots, each with a distinct design identity.

the ankle collar does not provide any kind of ankle stability or support, but I do find that it helps greatly in the lockdown feeling of the boot. my heel doesn't slide nearly as much in Superflys as it does in Vapors, my foot feels very secure in the Superflys and that definitely has to do with the ankle collar

I’ve always had issues where by I roll over my ankle though the mid cut boots somehow have helped avoid this completely. It might just be because I am essentially wearing another elastic-type sock in addition to my soccer sock ? Maybe yes/ maybe no. It makes a great difference for me though. :)
