The inspiration of the Nike Vapor 90 was to take something that hasn’t been done in baseball in a long time. Nike took this product directly from the football field. The Vapor Jet 4.2 has been an a amazing product for Nike on the football field. They got great feed back on the shoe from a visual standpoint. This is why they decided to take it to baseball so they could bring some of the same energy to baseball.
The key features of the Nike Vapor 90 starts with the visuals. It is a super fast design. The guy who is going to wear this shoe is looking for ever edge that he can get. It is a really light weight shoe but has great support. The toe cover wraps around tight to create excellent support for lateral movement. It promotes first step propulsion. It also has side panels that are almost welded on to give a little extra structure.
These baseball cleats utilize the Zero Space fit system and minimalistic layering to create a true fit to the foot. The newly designed out sole plate has five metal spikes and numerous TPU cleats to maintain excellent traction. The out sole design is from the old Kenny Lofton models. They added some additional traction pieces to the KLo plate. Super lightweight, super fast and slightly cored out for more speed. This shoe is the ultimate in the lightweight baseball spike.
Nike built the Nike Vapor 90 for the best speed athletes. The guy looking for this shoe is looking to steal bases, the guy who can go first to third on a single, the hit and run athlete.
Nike worked with some of the fastest athletes in baseball when testing the Nike Vapor 90. The main focus of the shoe was traction for these men of speed. There is no lost movement in this shoe because of its traction and support.
It comes in either black and white for those who want some attitude and also the all black stealth look for those who want something more conservative.
