FIFA World Player of the Year in Nike Mercurial Vapor IV


Cristiano Ronaldo and his Nike Mercurial Vapor IV cleats were given the title of FIFA World Player of the Year today at a star studded event in Zurich. Ronaldo just beat out Lionel Messi to the title after an amazing year which saw the Portugese star score 42 goals and lead Manchester United to the Premier League and Champions League title. Throughout the past year, Ronaldo has sported most of the Nike Mercurial Vapor IV range, including debuting the Pine green version and also the Carbon SL's. In the past few weeks, Ronaldo has been wearing the Citron version, and is likely to wear the newest Charcoal version in a coming weeks. The Nike Mercurial range of football boots are worn by players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Theo Walcott, Robinho and Franck Ribery wear are designed for speed. They have an aerodynamic design and a covered lacing system that provides a better boot-to-ball contact area. The microfibre synthetic upper is thin and lightweight without compromising protection, and gives a great touch and feel for the ball due to it's 'glove-like' fit and second skin feel.
