Video: Nike Mercurial Vapor IX "Vapor Trail" Film
Cristiano Ronaldo takes centre stage in Nike's new Vapor Trail film to compliment the launch of the Mercurial Vapor IX. The Portuguese international, seen sporting the Fireberry/Green/Red Mercurial Vapor IX, demonstrates his speed and skill in orchestrated slow motion style as the explosive video unfolds.
It's our first sure sign that Cristiano Ronaldo will begin his Vapor IX days fronting the Fireberry/Green/Red colourway. Nike videos have a tendency to impress. Their latest blockbuster piece is a one-man show, starting Nike's Mercurial main-man. 
The Vapor Trail film captures a passage of play from a pitch-level perspective that unfolds through a vortex of explosive speed. In its wake we see players, fans, stadium security, ball boys and a tumbling linesman literally blown over. No one is spared from the relentless force - a coach loses his glasses and players cling to the dugout, seconds away from being swept away.
Sports photographers and police struggle to combat the relentless wave of explosive speed pitch side, huddling against flying banners and debris. As the film builds to a crescendo we see Cristiano Ronaldo bursting out of the maelstrom, skipping past sliding defenders and firing the ball into the back of the net.
