Normally, there are always very recommendable mid or low range models but actually all Nike's options for their pro line are really good.
The Pro era has just begun
Nike Phantom Venom Pro football boots
We start this review with the last line to join the Nike family which brings to Phantom all the precision essence. These Venom Pro are a leap forward inn terms of mid tiers since they present an upper completely made with Nikeskin, which, as many of you will know, it was the material used in Hypervenom's first generation. This upper is joined to a sole that counts with the same studs than those of the elite range and keeps, thanks to its materials, much of the reactivity and comfort of this tier. In short, this is a light and comfortable football boot that really brings precision to the mid tier.
Nike Phantom Vision football boots
Next, the Phantom series. This time, Vision keeps the touch and control essence in all of the boot. Again, the Nikeskin is in charge of giving shape to the upper. It is joined to the mesh with Ghostlace technology, responsible for concealing the laces. This technology is in charge of providing the necessary fit to the boot just like the Nike collar which, although it isn't the same than in the top-tier, it's adjustable enough to provide us that continuity and compression sensations from the ankle to the back of the boot. The most wrinkly area is also present in this boot range and keeps the same stud distribution on the sole too, guaranteeing that good traction that combines grip and comfort at the same time. Phantom Vision is a great choice.
Nike Mercurial Vapor Pro football boots
Few times a mid-range football boot is as competent as these Vapor Pro. The reason is that, apart from a fantastic sole, which presents the design of the elite range, the upper is amazing and recalls the Teijin of the Mercurial past versions. The softness of the material, the thickness as well as the weave to provide grip, recall the Vapor X or the Vapor XI, which were excellent boots as well as the favourite choice of many of the fastest players at the moment. Consequently, we recommend these Vapor Pro to all Mercurial nostalgics.
Nike Tiempo Legend Pro football boots
We have arrived to the boot who set the trend regarding competent mid tiers. Again, the leather used in the Tiempo 7 Pro recalls so much the Tiempo 6 for its softness, thickness and even touch. If we look at the sole, it keeps the same distribution and design of the elite tier, with a very similar fit and weight. This is what a top-range leather football boot can provide for a very affordable price. We can enjoy the Tiempo sensations for a reduced price.
With the recent presentation of Phantom Venom, we confirm what we thought: mid tiers currently are at a really top level, the quality of the materials used in the Pro tier is very high so all football lovers can acquire a really good boot.
