Nike Mercurial Vapor IX Volt / Black / Bright Citrus SG Pro
Comes with no bootbag and original box.
The ninth generation, of the, by now, legendary Mercurial-collection has, like the ones before it, stormed onto the speed boot scene and conquered the hearts of everyone. With its just 185 grams it is lighter than most, but Nike have still had great success in innovating and improving the boot, with revolutionising technologies like Speed Control and ACC.
The Nike Mercurial-boots have throughout their glorious history had quite a few yellow colourways, which all have been extremely popular. The Vapor III was yellow, the Superfly I was also yellow and now it's the Vapor IX's turn. It has been given a fresh summer facelift, so you can face the summer and sun with a pair of boots to match.
When the Mercurial Vapor IX was launched, they had focused on tweaking and improving the already brilliant Vapor VIII, which had really cemented the Vapor's place at the very pinnacle of speed boots.
The upper of the Mercurial Vapor IX is made with small dimples, which resemble that of a golfball. It is a technology, which Nike call Speed Control and as the name implies, it is made to give improved grip on the ball, especially when dribbling at very high speed.
The struggle with the weather gods can always have its consequences on your grip on the ball, this is especially the case in wet conditions. This is, however, something Nike have found a way to counter and they call it ACC. It stands for All Conditions Control and it is a technology, which they have incorporated into the upper during production. It ensures you have the same grip on the ball in wet weather, as you would otherwise have had in the dry.
