Get ‘Em While They're Hot

The boots that have been lighting up CR7's feet as he lights up the league are now available to the rest of us. That's right, the Mercurial Vapor IVs dropped today. So, we here at 365 are understandably excited, because the Mercs have already proven their golden touch in front of goal.

Offensive combustibility is clearly an issue here. Nobody light a match.

Nike's newest gift to the game comes on the heels of the Vapor IV SLs, a concept design that single-handedly erased and redrew the boundaries of cleat technology. Drawing from that same technology, we now put in your hands...or rather, on your feet...the Merc IVs, which weigh in at an ethereal 230 grams, making them some of the lightest boots on the market.

The fibre-composite sole, patented Vapor traction system, streamlined lace-cover tongue top and lateral heel pods, also mean it's one of the most comfortable and dynamic. Strong, light and packed with innovation, the Vapor IVs strike fear into opponents and then leave them helpless with nothing to do but watch the goals pile up.

So far so good. In addition to Cristiano, Deuce has been rockin' Vapor IVs all month long as Fulham's leading scorer and you'll see them on Landon when he tries to add to his all-time goal-scoring record as the US MNT faces Mexico next week.
