NIKE MERCURIAL VAPOR 4
*Update! The Mercurial Vapor VI is available to order now!*
Updated articles: Go here for the latest Mercurial Vapor VI
Nike Mercurial Vapor IV
In February 2008, Nike celebrated 10 years of its Mercurial football line with the release of its most innovative football boot of the time -The Mercurial Vapor IV.
First designed specifically for Brazilian striker Ronaldo in 1998, the Mercurial was produced to meet the needs of the world’s fastest footballers and has been making an impact ever since.
In the last seven seasons, the top scorer in the English Premier League, other than once, has worn Mercurial Vapor boots.
For the Mercurial Vapor IV, Nike called on Premier League forwards such as Didier Drogba, Cristiano Ronaldo and Theo Walcott for direct input into the design process. As a result, Nike has developed a series of technological innovations that maximize speed with and without the ball .
Speed Plate
The Mercurial Vapor IV features Nike’s innovative Speed Plate technology designed to give players instant acceleration and make them fastest to the ball. Additionally, a re-engineered upper has been crafted not just to make players faster, but faster while dribbling and shooting.
Tactile Coating
In order to aid dribbling with the ball at speed, just one seam exists in the shoe’s upper material, while a new stitched stretch lace cover creates a cleaner ball contact area. The football boot is also wrapped in a clear tactile coating that creates a gripped surface for all playing conditions.
Vapor Traction System
The Mercurial Vapor IV’s Vapor Traction System broadens the scope of player fit; heel pods have been expanded laterally for more cushioning and extra protection. Stabilizing the foot, a form-fitting insert cradles the heel, while a Glass Fiber heel wrap provides lightweight stability with minimal slippage. All told, the comfortable ride of the Mercurial Vapor allows for sustained play at speed, keeping the ball where it should be: on your feet or in the net.
Players: Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba, Theo Walcott
Price: Around £120
Sizes: 7-12
*Update! The Mercurial Vapor VI is available to order now!*

i brought the boots in Novemeber 08. son was trying to get used to them.
In feb 09 had to stop wearing them as they caused bruising to his heel and blisters. I tried taking them back to the shop after spending £119 on them. i was told they are not faulty and that it is not their problem that the boots do not suit my sons feet. there obviously seems to be a problem with them he has now gone back to wearing his old boots that are a size smaller but do not hurt!!! happy to take peoples money but no one wants to listen that there is some desgin problem with them!!

Is it just my feet or do these boots constantly give you blisters? Ive had them for about 5 months now and the inside of the sloe where my heel sits is starting to wear as it rubs constantly everytime i where them. Can i adjust the boots at so i wont suffer as much discomfort when im wearing them?

These cleats are amazing. Except you don’t know how to break them in properly. That’s why they are giving you blisters.

Kay well the first thing is to realize that they are made of synthetic material, so your feet are gonna take a while to get used to them. So there are only a few ways to break them in.
First start by wearring them around the house for a while. Like walking on carpet. *with ur soccer socks on and stuff so ur cleats mold to your foot shape.*
Second, this is really important for every synthetic shoe. Start by wearing them for a few minutes on the pitch. If you feet start to hurt in any way, take them off and use other cleats. You don’t want to go straight into a game with them or your feet will die haha.
So wear ur mercs more and more. First use them for like 5 min or so, and keep on wearing them dr longer periods of time. This will help your feet adjust to them. And when u first put them on, rub some Vaseline of the pressure points to avoid rubbing.
Hope that helps.

In response to sweet_sable's comment:
Excuse me,But the shop is not lying if they say your son’s feet aren’t meant for these shoes.Yes,Blisters usually do form after the first use,but this problem ceases after 3 days of continous use.After the blisters,The great shoe itself is just out of this world.And to answer some questions I read,If you are a 9 and a half,It is recomended that you order a half size bigger.I.g, 9 = 9 and a half.Anyway,back to the shoe.The shooting is average.Control is awesome.But not reccomended for defenders.Boot is pretty fragile and being slidetackled is just terrible for the shoe.
