Nikeskin are good but the K's are better, I also happen to think that the white Ks (which I've got) are the nicest looking Vapors. Like I say, Nikeskin are good and they do mold more than you'd think when you first try them on, but the Ks are like gloves, just as light and perhaps more hard-wearing - but still not that hard-wearing! At least on the outside. I haven't personally had any of the commonly reported Vapor problems but I'd say if anything would go, it'd be the toes, the top doesn't afford much protection but it seems sturdy. The soles are solid too.

All in all, particularly seeing as Ks are hard to get now, I'd get a pair - Vapor Is and IIs weren't much different, Vapor IIIs don't look like they're gonna be either and there'll be alot of Nikeskin ones around in alot of different colours for some time I'd imagine.

K;s are better for sure, especially brand new white ones- they look so disgustingly good. And they actually do fit like a glove and arent bent out of shape faster than the regular ones. The only downside is that after the toebox will break if you dont kick right, especialy since the leather is so thin. BUt i'd STILLL buy the vapor K's and i you dont want to get those get a pair of white blue and gold vapors.

I currently have a pair of nike skin vapors and have had another pair in the past. In my experience with them they havent held up for a very long time so i would go with the k leather just for durability issues.

vapor ks are cheaper, they only 150 USD(somethin around there) and nikeskin 1s r 175. pretty retarted cuz they charge you more for a man made material that has an infinate supply, whereas k leather is finite, there are only so many left.

I have had problem with a Vapor 2 before (mist blue),, I had a very very bad blister everytime when i play a game...it was alright when i just kick arround and trying the shoe out...
then i switch to Legend and it fit me very great,, so i wonder if it was because of the K leather...
I really like the weight and fitting with vapor,, I am really looking for a vapor that can aviod my blister problem.. so u guys thing the Vapor K is going to help?

Actually synthetic is much more durable than leather, especially if you're not big on caring for them.

Just cos a material is man made doesnt mean its created out of thin air. Actually k is more finite than synth cause new kangaroos can always be born. Plastic is made from fossil fuels, which are eventually gonna run out....basically the nike skin ones are more expensive cause of their lightweight. You lose a fair bit of the vaps weight advantage with k ones.

Its to do with the fit of the boot, rather than the material its made out of. Legends have a wider fit than vaps so obviously your feet are too wide.
