Cristiano Ronaldo wore his brand new Nike Mercurial Vapor IV football boots during Manchester United's 4-0 Premier League victory on Saturday, Ronaldo played and scored in the new marina and volt colourway Nike Vapor boots.
Since the summer Cristiano Ronaldo has been playing in the pine green Nike Mercurial Vapor IV football boots, though now Nike have released the new marina/volt colourway it is only right they should be worn by the player who was first to wear the pine green vapors and first to wear the carbon SL's.
The Nike Mercurial range of football boots that players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Theo Walcott, Robinho and Franck Ribery wear are all designed for speed. Their design is aerodynamic, with a sleek lace cover which provides a better boot-to-ball contact area. The microfibre synthetic upper is thin and lightweight without compromising protection, and gives a great touch and feel for the ball due to it's 'glove-like' fit and second skin feel.
The fibre-composite sole has a unique stud configuration to provide extra traction and additional balance, which when combined with the upper weigh a mere 225g so the Nike Vapor IV football boots really optimise a players speed.
Nike Mercurial Vapor football boots were worn by Cristiano Ronaldo last season as he finished top goalscorer in the Premier League, and have been worn by previous top goalscorers Thierry Henry, Didier Drogba and Ruud van Nistelrooy.
