Nike Mercurial Vapor IX Delivers Performance Innovation & Explosive Speed for Fastest Players on the Planet

In today’s highly technical and fast game straight line speed and ability to simply pass a player is only part of the complete finishers skill set. Combining performance innovation and a heritage of lightweight boots for fast players the Mercurial Vapor IX takes this legacy to the next level for players who rely on tight cuts and turns combined with bursts of explosive speed to beat the opposition. Nike Speed Control Textured Upper Gives Boot Added Friction & Touch to Capitalize on Game Changing Moments.

The Mercurial Vapor IX is engineered with a completely new upper to deliver a level of support and touch for players to deliver a deadly combination of speed and skill when it matters most. Nike’s new Speed Control texture on the upper gives players the confidence to perform at speed with enhanced friction that combines with a snug and responsive fit, a hallmark of Mercurial boots.  

The Mercurial Vapor IX upper locks down the foot and prevents unnecessary movement within the boot whilst a minimal and soft heel area maximizes the comfort of the boot and therefore the performance of those wearing them. Nike’s innovative All Conditions Control (ACC) technology further aids performance as the special treatment now used on all Nike boots ensures a consistent touch whether playing in wet or dry weather.

For the player who relies on explosive speed and who wears the Mercurial Vapor IX, traction is everything. Twin studs at the back allow for a quick release from the turf and the asymmetric design of the stud configuration delivers an explosive start. Sharp blades cut through the turf, allowing for game-altering changes in direction at speed.

The Mercurial Vapor IX also features a unique, lightweight plate, incorporating two different pieces of glass fiber that increase flexibility and response. Small dimples alleviate stud pressure at the mid-foot, providing energy return in the heat of the game. 

The Mercurial Fire Berry and Sunset color ways will be available January 29th at Nike.com and retailers worldwide and will be sold for RM780.
