Speed Football Boots - Nike Mercurial Vapor SL - Marina/Volt/Metallic Silver - 05/09/08
Nike Mercurial Vapor football boots have made a huge impact on football. Super light, super strong, super fast and worn by super star Cristiano Ronaldo, the Mercurial Vapor SL football boots are to be released on 1st October in a brand new colour scheme - Marina/Volt/Metallic Silver.
Nike's Mercurial Vapor range has been hugely successful with Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic all wearing the football boots, and the Mercurial Vapor SL boot is top of the range!
Where the Vapor SL football boots differ from the Vapor IV football boots is the carbon-fibre chassis. The composite carbon-fibre chassis offers incredible flexibility without compromising strength whilst reducing the overall weight of the football boots. In fact, the Nike Vapor SL incredibly only weighs 210grams, putting that into perspective adidas Predator PowerSwerves weigh 320grams!
Being lightweight isn't the only reason the Mercurial SL football boots offer ultimate speed, their design is to the highest aerodynamic specifications. Best demonstrated with the sleek lace cover, which provides a larger surface area to traditional football boots to deliver better accuracy, power and control.
As for wearing over the course of 90 minutes the Nike Mercurial Vapor SL football boots have a moulded EVA sock-liner to provide comfort to the feet, with a carbon-fibre heel counter also providing additional protection.
The release of the Marina/Volt/Metallic Silver Vapor SL football boots will be the sixth colour way in this Nike Mercurial range.
