Which boot from the Kinetic Black and Future Lab pack is right for you?

The full Nike Future Lab and Kinetic Black packs have just dropped and we’ve been blessed with dozens more boots to choose from after the Elite and some futsal versions became available for pre-order last week.

As you probably know by now, the Swoosh dropped a fire new Phantom VSN II as part of this double release which you can take a closer look at here. But there are also updated Mercurial, VNM and Tiempo boots from Elite down to Club level with the full range of soleplates to help you do the business whatever surface you play on. 

There’s a huge selection if you fancy a fresh pair of wheels and, to take the stress out of the decision making, we’ve compiled a quick analysis of which boots might be right for you. With the loud and brash Future Lab pack and the reserved, classy Kinetic Black pack there’s something for everyone.

Get used to the Mercurial Superfly and Vapor in that fire Laser Crimson and Black colourway because the Future Lab pack is being worn on pitch by some of Nike’s biggest players. Rapid tricksters like Neymar Jnr, Raheem Sterling, Kylian Mbappé and Anthony Martial have already started racking up the goals in this Vapor.

If you’re blessed with electric pace and love being in the limelight as you steal the show then look no further than the always excellent Mercurial Superfly and Vapor from the Future Lab pack.

However, if you prefer to go about your business flying under the radar then the dark versions of from the Kinetic Black Pack with their iridescent green and purple finish are for you. The VSN II is for the precise players who control the game with their distribution and pinpoint accuracy. 

Kevin De Bruyne will be wearing the Future Lab pack on pitch so you know it’s the business. Completing the Phantom side of the Swoosh stable is the updated VNM which is favoured by lethal finishers the world over from Harry Kane through to Marcus Rashford and Robert Lewandowski.

In fact, it is a really nice touch from The Swoosh meaning this generation of the boot gets its boldest look yet while remaining a staple of the reliable, no-nonsense players like Virgil van Dijk. With the full range available at the world’s largest bootroom at Pro:Direct Soccer right now, you can get stuck in and start penning the next chapter in your boot history today.
