The fit, explained
The tapered forefoot rewards Egyptian/Greek shapes but can crowd wide or high-volume feet.
Best for narrow-to-average feet that want a sprint-focused, close fit.
Break-in: Minimal break-in; the synthetic upper is close to race-ready out of the box.

- The Nike Mercurial Vapor X suits feet wanting a narrow forefoot, low tapered toe box, snug midfoot wrap, deep secure heel. Speed boot on FG.
