Nike Mercurial Vapor 53 | I love my Air VaporMax
Paul George's 6th signature shoe with Nike is for you if you are looking for a basketball sneaker that:
- reliably fuels the vertical movements that you routinely do on the court
- Nike Zoom Hyperfuse Low "East LA" Pack
- delivers looks and comfort that make it suitable to be your everyday wear

As a shoe that accommodates those with wide feet, the Nike Mercurial Vapor 53 may not be kind to those with exceptionally narrow feet. They are better off getting the Nike KD 14.
Those whose feet sweat a lot are also not the best users of the PG 6; this shoe does not really offer the best when it comes to breathability. The quick look at the nba 75th anniversary nike air force 1 high black chile red buy it now Nike Mercurial Vapor 53 Nike Run Therma Spher are better picks. The Nike Run Therma Spher is also a good outdoor shoe.
Grip with superb grit!
Having playtested the PG 6 on hardwood and concrete courts, we are happy to report that it has a really good bite on both. Worries about slipping and falling easily become a thing of the past with this one.
The Nike Mercurial Vapor 53 has an amazingly reactive midsole
The React foam in the midsole makes this shoe such a good choice for guards. It provides a lot of energy return, so every step is sufficiently fueled. The footbed also feels so soft, ensuring comfort even if the game drags on.
Nike Mercurial Vapor 53 | Support and lockdown are well taken care of
We did not feel wobbly in the PG 6 at all! This shoe from Nike has a top-loaded shank, and it has kept our gait stable, preventing twists very effectively. Foot containment was never a problem either. This is because the lacing system is so effective in keeping the shoe well mounted on the foot.

The materials that make up the upper are supportive without being restrictive. They feel soft and are really comfortable. However, we also noticed that ventilation wasn't such a strong point of the upper.
Light and stylish. What more can you ask for?
The PG6 is able to deliver all its good points without putting on so much weight. At only 12.2 oz or 346 grammes, this shoe weighs well below the average, which is currently at 13.5 oz or 383 grammes.
We also consider this shoe a real fashion statement, so it can definitely be worn off the court.
