Nike’s new summer
football footwear collection highlights the groundbreaking 2006 Mercurial and
offers bold new colors.
In
2006, Brasil forward Ronaldo returned to football's world stage debuting Nike’s
latest boot technology. Featuring the first carbon fiber heel-counter and a new
high-visibility color, the 2006 Mercurial Vapor was built for speed and
comfort.
The
‘06 Mercurial, the 2014 Mercurial Vapor IX Fast Forward ’06 provides today's
players with modern boot technology inspired by visual elements of the 2006
classic. Subtle graphic references and colors combine with modern materials and
innovation to celebrate the boot’s legacy of speed while commemorating an
iconic summer for Ronaldo and the Mercurial.
A
small heel logo mark identifies the original year of inspiration, and the
sockliner tells the story of key moments in the Mercurial’s history.
In
addition to the Mercurial, Nike also introduces new colorways for summer 2014.
The CTR360 2 will be offered in a striking crimson; the Tiempo V in a shade of
crimson with white; and the Hypervenom in vibrant yellow.
