So here it is. The 8th version of the Nike Mercurial Vapour IV – the Berry. And in shocking pink.
This limited edition football boot will be available from 24th November, retailing at £119.99. However, being a limited edition model you may want to pre-order the boot to avoid disappointment.
It’s certainly different but the usual Nike traits and technology are all there.
First off, the vibrant pink colour is coupled with cutting-edge aesthetics which portray speed and create a supersonic look.
Designed for quickness of foot and to help players be fastest to the ball, the Mercurial Vapor incorporates the patented Vapor Traction System which provides low-profile acceleration and multi-directional grip.
Stablising the foot, a form-fitting EVA insert cradles the heel, whilst a clear TPU/Glass Fiber heel wrap – visible from the outside – provides lightweight stability with minimal slippage. All together, the comfortable ride of this boot allows for sustained play at speed.
The football boot, which was made in Italy, should certainly stand out on the pitch, providing that is, some or any of Nike’s players will be brave enough to embrace it’s bold colour scheme not to mention the dressing room banter.
We are told that the likes of Andrei Arshavin, Marco Materazzi and Milan Baros, will debut the football boots in their respective league games next weekend.
There’s no doubt that the Mercurial Vapor has become one of the game’s most successful football boots since it was first launched 10 years ago, having originally been designed for Brazilian super star Ronaldo.
In the Premier League they have been worn to great effect by Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba of Chelsea and Manchester City’s Robinho.
Indeed, for the past seven years, the leading scorer in the Premier League has won the Mercurial Vapor.
Whether they’ll go for the Berry remains to be seen but you certainly won’t be able to miss them if they do.
