Vapor Mercurial the brilliant of Nike
There are many differences reasons why soccer stars wearing the Vapor Mercurial such as, Ronaldo, Neymar, Hazard, Ribery and other soccer stars. Fifteen years ago, Nike un-Veale its first vapor mercurial and it was worn by the Brazilian Football legend Ronaldo. The original Vapors were released in mid-2002, just before the World Cup of that year. At the time of release, the Vapor was the lightest boot on the market with several key innovations. The upper was made of an extremely thin, lightweight synthetic dubbed Nike Skin.
The vapor Mercurial is a boot that not only dominated the game with it “Intricate Innovations”, that is what they call it. But anyway an institution in worldwide athlete apparel. What does the Legend Ronaldo, Neymar, Hazard, and Ribery and numerous of soccer stars have in common? Those players what speed, striking and yes, they also wear the Vapor Mercurial. Nike employed the name of a natural gas to a boots or let me say cleats using the “American term”, what is vapor? Vapor is a substance diffused or suspended in the air. So it make perfect sense since slipping into a pair of these will make your foot pace quick witted much like the reaction of a vapor itself.
First release of the Incredible Vapor Mercurial.
When Nike first released the vapor mercurial 2002, it was claimed to be thinner and stronger than any kangaroo leather. The Vapor also featured an external heel counter (which was very uncommon at that time) as well as a glass-fibre filled outsole called Nike-Frame, designed to spring back into shape after push-off for optimum energy return.
The vapor mercurial is so light that the reason why it is called the vapor mercurial. The vapor mercurial and the F50 Adizero is the lightest soccer shoe that has ever been made. Vapor mercurial is called the lightweight cleats. It weights 6.6 oz.
The Mercurial Vapor has many differences significant. There are difference parts on the boots that represent difference purposes. There are three important things about the boots, and that is the upper, insole, and outsole. The difference part on the vapor mercurial is designed for difference purposes. The vapor insole is very comfortable and it is also soft. It also has extra-thin Teijim synthetic leather upper. That also helps to improve the wearer comfort of the shoe.
Nike modifies the boots for speed, control, unique technique and many other reasons. The vapor mercurial has a similar effect to that playing barefoot but with a tremendous level of control at a high speed. I remember when I first worn the mercurial vapor in 2004, I said to myself, that it was the best boot I have ever putting my feet in. it felt so comfortable. My feet literate slide in comfortably, and since than, I had been wearing vapor mercurial.
The outsole of the Nike vapor mercurial superfly fg boot is made from carbon fiber. And that is because it work naturally with the foot, and also the stud are design to maximize agility and also traction. This boot is made almost entirely out of carbon fibred and weighs 6.7 oz. The shoe is made in one color, black, with two pink.
Soccer Shoe History
The soccer shoe has come a long way to say the least. Work boots are now high performance footwear that allows a soccer athlete to push his or her skills to limit. Designs today are not so much to protect players from injury as it is about maximizing their strategy.
The soccer shoe has undergone dramatic change to meet the growing demands of an ever-popular sport. Improved comfort, resiliency, grip, and even lacing and eyelet technology for a flatter, more comfortable fitting, are testament to how far the boot has come. Today soccer shoes allow more freedom to move, to score, and to entertain the spectator than ever before. Soccer shoes entered a new century taking on it own life.
How Are Vapor Mercurial Made

Two types of leather are used in soccer shoes-full-grain leather and kangaroo leather. Full -grain leather is less expensive compared to Kangaroo leather. Kangaroo leather is softer, lighter and durable as compared to full-grain leather. If the leather is soft, the ball has a good.
Leather shoes are not suitable for playing soccer on wet surfaces as they absorb more water. It is also very difficult to dry them.
The durability of the shoe is less in case of soft leather.
Synthetic

They are most suitable for playing soccer in wet conditions, as it is easy to clean and dry them. But, synthetic Soccer shoes have got disadvantages also- they are less comfortable and less durable.

Suede
The upper part in many Soccer Shoes is made of suede. Suede made upper part provides warmth and comfort to the wearer. Besides, suede made soccer shoes are breathable that is they allow easy circulation of air.
