The Mercurial Vapor is a football boot made by Nike. The boot is known for being lightweight, the latest versions weighing 196 g (6.9 oz) per boot. Because of this, the boot is favoured by many players for whom speed is a very important part of their game, notably wingers or strikers. The boot is now in its fourth version, available in six colourways - Orange Peel, Anthracite/Vivid Blue, Sport Red, Pine Green, White/Blue Spark and a limited edition Brown Leather and Crystal Blue for UEFA EURO 2008.
The boot is available in either Soft Ground (SG) or Firm Ground (FG) versions. The SG version's sole plate is fitted with six NikeSnap removable studs, which can be purchased in different lengths, while the FG version has twelve moulded blades.
The Nike Mercurial Vapor IV SL, a by-product of the Nike Mercurial SL, have finally hit the feet Cristiano Ronaldo and will soon be hitting stores as well. Weighing in at 210 grams, these are by far the lightest boot out on the market at the moment. Designed to be fast, there's no wonder why Nike enlisted the services of Ronaldo to promote these beasts... And what a way to show them off! Overnight, Manchester United destroyed Newcastle United 6-0 at Old Trafford, with Ronaldo bagging a hat-trick. That brings his goal tally in the Prem. League to 13 this season and 22 across all competitions. He truly has stepped up his game and it'll only be a matter of time before a Spanish or Italian giant comes knocking at Manchester's door.
