Why Nike Football Boots Are The Only Sensible Choice
When we're talking Nike Football boots, we're really talking the Mercurial Vapor Series in its many different guises. In fact there have been 4 different versions. This boot is wellknown for being amongst one of the lightest boots on the market and this makes it the boot of choice for people who have the need for speed. Weighing around 196g per boot,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], these boots are especially loved by wingers and strikers.
The Mercurial Vapor line started officially in 2002 but its origins can be traced back to the Nike Air Mercurial boot of 1998. The boot was worn then,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as the new version is now, by none other than Ronaldo at the 1998 FIFA World Cup. Back then the boot was only available in black but this has changed and the newest range is now available in a wide variety of colours.
The 2002 version, worn exclusively by Ronaldo in the semifinals and final of the World Cup,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], came in black and silver and red. The 2004 Mercurial Vapor II Nike football boot also came in two colours Team Red and Photo Blue. The 2006 MVIII however came in a wider range of colours with more being added throughout the year. The latest incarnation, version MVIV, which appeared in 2007, also comes in a variety of colours.
Apart from the cosmetic aspects, what makes this boot so special? The 2006 version is perhaps the closest to the technology of the present version. Teijin microfibers woven into the boot make it both lightweight and surprisingly durable. Carbon padding provides extra strength in both the heel and heel cup area. The 2007/2008 MVIV looks the same, but has undergone some minor changes. The sole of the boot is no longer purely carbon, but comprised of a carbon composite. The boot's upper is made of what is now known as NikeSkin; a form of Teijin designed specifically by Nike for their boots. These changes make the new Mercurial Vapor slightly heaver than it predecessor at 210g,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it is still considered to be a very lightweight boot.
In the recent 2008 UEFA Cup, the new Mercurial Vapor boot was worn again by Christiano Renaldo. This was the first time that the new carbon weave was used in a professional football match. The match was between Manchester United, for whom Renaldo currently plays, and Chelsea. The match went to penalties, as both Manchester United and Chelsea had one goal apiece. In the end Manchester United won 65. Perhaps it was the technologically advanced Mercurial Vapor that helped Renaldo hit that vital penalty shot into the back of the net
The latest boot to be released and certainly proving highly popular is the Mercurial Vapor IV in green and white,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. These are the colours worn by Renaldo in that allimportant UEFA Cup match. Another colour combination of white and blue has also been released and is a good looking boot. Nike football boots are always amongst the best on the market and to mark the 2008 UEFA Euro match a limited edition brown leather version of the Mercurial Vapor IV was released.
If you are having trouble finding these boots in your local sports shop, you could always try an online specialist. Online stores such as this stock a huge variety of football boots by all of the leading manufactures,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including the much soughtafter Mercurial Vapor boots.
