Philip today is something he was a
pretty special
yeah it's not every day you get a box
like this off-white for Nike Nike
Mercurial Vapor um I think we kind of
all know what's inside of this box I
don't actually
it's a Virgo a blow I know but I do not
know how it looked you know you know you
haven't seen before no um you can kind
of you get a gist we sell with this uh
even this box right here which is pretty
nice is it what it is oh we got the logo
uh kind of guess that's logo oh that's
for me let's go up there alright let's
do it alright
oh that is over this mess that is some
bright color does that say bag on this
one
Hey it says boo back Oh actually does it
does say boo back oh and of course it
says off-white and all that jazz and
inside you do get different phrases whoa
that says shoelaces obviously just so we
know what it is so we know what it is
thank you burgle a blow so don't mix up
the shoelaces with the boot bag and
don't put the boot bag on their boots
when you play I mean you can kind of see
where we're going here
um for the height beats out there I
think you already know what's inside
boom boom we all have like this the
paper here but it's even says pay for a
color got everything with a paper with
the paper the vapor with the paper and
let's just say that these are like very
very very very special um obviously for
every off-white our virgle Apple fan out
there this must be a wet dream and I
gotta say to some extent this is also a
wet dream why because we have the tiny
Nike logo yes I'd know where it belongs
so it kind of looks a little bit like a
V but to you which I like a lot so uh so
what what do we think I mean it it does
look a bit like it yes I was just about
to say that's then as you as you
mentioned I really like this the small
swoosh yes it's rather than a big one
its undertow beautiful and to be honest
I think they don't look half bad when I
when I saw the pictures for the first
time I like nah kidding me uh but I
actually like them in hand
it actually appeals to me especially
with this this white line here yeah
around the trim oh sorry
around the soleplate and it goes all the
way around even underneath yes what's
really really cool and for once instead
of having this very Cromie
yeah finish up to the to the soleplate I
like how it's just are not almost
translucent plastic while in the color
one color it looks pretty big of course
it says then on the bottom ECC Flyknit
and fast AF because it is a part of the
fast day of night um we got the the kind
of customary off-white Nike Mercurial
Vapor and even if you're a high P's then
you know about off y-you know what
they're all about all the yes in it here
on the it says engineered to the exact
specification of championship athletes
that's beautiful too on the back right
here mmm
engineered full speed limited edition it
says instead of vapor 360 pretty nice
and then of course um the creme de la
creme we got though
all of them on this side um and apart
from that that's basically all they
stood
I mean virgle he um yeah it's a very
simplistic way of looking at things but
I think it's kind of special because
there's not a lot of people that does it
this way no it's very it's very
in-your-face right yes because they're
basically pointing out stuff that you
already know let you know this is a boot
it's me in that regard I know a lot of
people really like Varga well why not I
think some of his stuff is really cool
too but you can't deny that he's his
style is very at least this style I'd
like it's done with with Nike with the
hold the 10 pack they made it's it's
very like one concept with the whole
quotation marks and then stating the
obvious
okay nice isn't it this is shoe laces
etc etc I think some people will be
bummed that we don't have to hold our
read price that kind of thing but to be
honest I think it would look a little
bit ridiculous confidence so that's kind
of what it but you actually haven't
mentioned the - you know dots that we
have what what are those all about this
kiss I think it makes like it stands out
a bit and it makes them look a little
bit like clown shoes I'm just gonna say
yeah you know don't kill me out there
but I'm just gonna say you you know you
you say you say the clown angle but I'm
just gonna go out and say that the blue
dot doesn't like for me doesn't make
sense it's not that in look it's not
that it looks bad it's just that like
okay I see it kind of a pattern here
with the the kind of wall vault yellow
and the orange the white line and then
the blue just pops out of nowhere it I I
would totally totally we we do it is I'm
not saying it's bad I'm not saying it is
bad it's like it's a little bit weird it
is now the funny thing and i which i
think is a bit of a shaming it was that
because habló decided to have the the
local thing on the side here now you can
actually see how Nike had to UM to
basically toe little further up so on
the normal vapor we have this gradual
shift in the Nike skin coding where it
starts to be by being full
on the bottom and then it gradually goes
up the side so we can basically get a
more should we say flexible image on the
upper but you can basically see how they
had to just give it our full coating all
the way up so they could write on the
Nike skin because they can't write on it
it is very very important information
that you get right here it's not quite
trademark for Nike
yes Nike Mercurial Vapor and the logo is
69 million but that's just a start and
and you can you can argue for and
against I think I thought these are
relatively cool if we could kind of lose
the blue dot and don't you know some
people might call it you know sacrilege
then I want to lose the blue dot for
whatever but I think this really does
does the trick for me yeah
I really love it but I really think it's
a shame that if they really had to coat
it I'm REE uh in order to put the the
swoosh on like just I'm gonna I'm gonna
be go ahead and be honest here as well
like if you think that someone will buy
this and be like hey I'm gonna rock this
on the pitch because I'm off-white fan
Wow and then and then complain about the
fact that it's coated here yeah and I
don't think that you should get the
virtual habló I think you should go just
head and get these instead yeah because
obviously these are virtual ah flows off
white Nike collaboration and they are
special they're not made to you know for
a you know rainy March afternoon oh
they're not no no no but but like the
funny thing is I I gotta be honest I
think these look alright but I have not
really warmed yet to the to the toe
flush this is how I think this work
should look on the new vapor and the
Superfly that's how it is another thing
people need to know is that this is
gonna come out as a vapor 12 but on the
pitch it's actually gonna be worn by a
Canadian poppy who will wear a super fly
version of it so is something like that
yeah it's gonna be very interesting to
see he's obviously gonna wear it in the
French Cup final so so pretty cool that
they keep it with a French player in
Pali III like that and honestly I gotta
say though that I think to go with
orange and white is a more of a
killer than to go with orange and kind
of tinted chrome it looks it looks
pretty cool right it's like even though
it's a very hyped up colorway it's very
like in-your-face but I gotta say that
the white toning it down makes it even
more I I would agree with you now of
course this is gonna be hyped to the
moon and back and that's just how it is
with with burgle Apple collaboration
yeah the funny thing about virgle a blow
that we talked about just before we got
started was that uh it was announced a
big night um that he is taking over the
the creative director position and for
menswear
now the funny thing is that and yes
we're gonna talk about the box later to
to show that but the funny thing is that
that the position as creative director
speaking of suitable boxes yes um it was
uh it was left vacant by this time I
like in jobs yeah who basically I
stepped down as the creative director
for Louboutin in January and now they've
released this now is it just me or is it
too big of a coincidence the night you
happen to collaborate with the two
people stepping you know one stepping up
one stepping down from I think it's a
funny coincidence
it is it is even even though Virgil
hablo did a lot of things before this
collaboration we as Nike yes you know
it's too funny not to be but that's
that's it just it just occurred to me
that it was kind of funny I gotta say in
terms of this I do appreciate the
soleplate here with his name slapped all
over it with his name's o Jones come
Jones
oh just though that we know he's just a
great just in case you didn't know
anyways I like the the virgle a blow
made for twelve a lot more I'm gonna go
ahead and say this that the orange here
no pun intended but I see a pattern here
with the
sorry I just had to sew on but what I do
see a pattern and I I do think out of
these three I gotta say that the outlaws
are the better look at once of all the
three I would and it's only because of
the the the small swoosh yes and the
tone down white and the same color yes
on the soleplate yes so we could lose
them like the blue bubble of shenanigans
and the hole I'd mid all over the place
does not really feeling that you know
but but you know the white and the same
color soleplate is is exactly what also
appeals to me so good job burgle a block
um very good job actually again boncala
whatever they they say gets them face I
think that's a good word for an in
French I'm not sure Philip
any last words on these because
obviously people are gonna freak out
about it yeah let's just talk about this
all right this is what I really want to
appreciate go ahead and preciate that
because that was that's pretty cool
she's you know all the details on the
box
Iza is pretty wicked a lot of bunny ears
did it in the paper even the paper we've
liked all the customary stuff it's it's
just it's cool and that's the thing with
with Virgil Apple that he just makes
things that are he follows through he
makes cool things and and yeah he found
his niche okay and he now is slapping
his trademark on different things and
he's no not doing you know any different
here and I gotta say though I you as you
said a lot of people will get hyped
about this boot and it's rocket Reese
with good reason but I'm not I'll really
like the boot but I'm not on board with
the overhype no no well we you and me
agree on that I'm not I'm not happy
about this because it's very gullible
i'm actually hyped about it because it's
better looking than I thought it would
be but because we both had like
expectations of it yes
over those words I think we should go we
should kind of put it out to the masses
out there what do you think about the
new Nike Mercurial Vapor 12x Virgo add
low or whatever they decide to call it
in the end
oh do you think it's a hit just like
the the other the 10 Susan made with
Nike or do you think it's a bit weird
with all the bubbles and the lines and
all that stuff you should let us know in
