Nike has released the latest color in their Mercurial Vapor IV collection. After having huge success with the Berry color, the new Citron color has already been very popular with professional soccer players.  Top players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Frank Ribery have been displaying their sheer skill and speed with this latest exclusive colourway from Nike.

Weighing only 230 grams, the Mercurial Vapor IV is one of the lightest soccer cleats in production. It has been designed for one thing at that is pure speed.  

The new citron colourway includes the same innovative technologies that are in the Mercurial Vapor line.  The Fibre-composite sole and patented Vapor Traction System offers improved traction and comfort.   

Speed Plate
The Mercurial Vapor IV features Nike’s innovative Speed Plate technology designed to give players instant acceleration and make them fastest to the ball. 

Tactile Coating
In order to aid dribbling with the ball at speed, just one seam exists in the shoe’s upper material, while a new sleek, streamlined stitched stretch lace cover provides improved accuracy and touch.

Vapor Traction System
The Mercurial Vapor IV’s Vapor Traction System broadens the scope of player fit; heel pods have been expanded laterally for more cushioning and extra protection. Stabilizing the foot, a form-fitting insert cradles the heel, while a Glass Fibre heel wrap provides lightweight stability with minimal slippage.

• Upper: Soft, supple TEIJIN synthetic leather adjusts to the foot shape. Contoured speed last mirrors the foot shape. Lace cover increases ball contact area. 

• Midsole: Revolutionary internal chassis creates instant acceleration. Contoured sock-liner with EVA inserts reduces studs pressure. 

• Outsole: Direct injected heel studs for weight reduction. VAPOR forefoot plate with multidirectional traction pattern.

• Profile: The Ultimate lightweight performance product built for speed. For use on firm, natural surfaces.

The Citron colourway will be available in stores early next year, the Vapor IV in January and the SL version in February. Order the Nike Mercurial Vapor IV Citron today from Amazon.com.
