Yes we know.

With the arrival of the Nike Mercurial Vapor V’s, these Nike Mercurial Vapor IV’s may seem a little out of date but rest assured, it takes no sheen off one of the most beautiful looking pair of football boots that Nike have come up with in the Mercurial Vapor line.  Out of this world cool.

Comfort factor is provided courtesy of the padding around the ankle area of the boots and striking the ball cleanly is made possible with the introduction of the latex cover over the laces.

Cristiano Ronaldo sported these in at least 5 colorways before graduating to the Nike Mercurial Vs in last year’s UEFA Champions League between Manchester United and Inter Milan that also featured  Barca’s new frontman, Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The futsal version that came out in Malaysia were the Nike Mercurial Steam and I waited and waited for the lace-covered edition to release here but it never did.

3 first half goals from Thiago Motta, Alberto Diego Milito, Maicon and another by Dejan Stankovic after the interval summed up a dominant performance by Inter Milan.

AC Milan’s team morale looked to be hit hard further with the expulsion of thier midfield rock, Gattuso in the 40th minute.
