#BeMercurial München: Players Lounge
Nike are rolling out their latest edition Vapor IX in style, gathering the games fastest stars as #BeMercurial sweeps the globe. But a notoriously lavish Nike launch reached a new echelon in Munich, as the players arrived to the lounge event driving Mercurial Vapor IX designed Lamborghini's.
The Nike Mercurial Vapor footwear range has become omnivorous with speed, no other shoe denotes flash style and speed quite like a Vapor. So alongside having such wearers as Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Franck Ribery and Xherdan Shaqiri how could Nike get their point across? Ah yes of course, customize two Lamborghini Gallardo's with a Vapor IX makeover! 
Attending the players lounge event in Munich were Xherdan Shaqiri and Franck Ribery, driving a 'Sunset' and 'Fireberry' decorated Lamborghini each complete with boot texture detailing. With both players kitted out from head-to-toe in the latest Nike gear, including Nike Air Max 1 trainers, Nike Washout Hoodie and Nike Wool M-65 Jacket, the players joined the lucky guests at the event.
Ribery and Shaqiri joined team-mates Mario Mandžukic and Luiz Gustavo, along with 26 young footballers who had earlier in the day tested their pace on the #BeMercurial speed circuit. Battling it out to prove how fast they were around the track, the four fastest players from the Munich event will head to Paris at the end of the month and go head-to-head with finalists from across Europe.

Commenting on the event, Franck RibÉry said: It was an exciting day and the guys were fast. Explosive speed is a key skill to being the best on the pitch and I wish the four finalists good luck in Paris. 
The event of course was complimented with a full rundown on the innovative new Nike Mercurial Vapor IX, along with demonstrations on boot steaming for custom fit. Before the players departed in their rides into the Munich night.
