Nike have released some crazy colored cleats lately with the Berry and then the Citron. But believe it or not, there is a
classic looking Mercurial Vapor IV available! The Nike Mercurial Vapor IV FG – Charcoal/Red is a classic look on the extremely popular cleat. If you are like me you probably kept your wallet in your pocket and staved away from the Vapor Berry, and this is a cleat I would be willing to pay money for! Currently only available in the US (the cleat will not be availabl in the UK until February), the Charcoal version has been designed with innovative Speed Plate technology designed to give players an advantage through increased acceleration. Soft, supple Teijin synthetic leather that adjusts to the shape of your foot. Watch out for these cleats in the Premier League, and throughout Europe in the next few weekends. They are available at Soccer.com right now for $204.99

Actually, this cleat has been available in the US for a while, and is currently heavily desired in the UK where it won’t be available until February. I have to be honest, I was not a fan of Nike’s very colorful releases, but they have been extremely popular. It seems that Nike has benifited from an extremely well-marketed campaign, as the cleats have sold huge numbers and appear to have increased their stake in the soccer cleat realm. Made in Italy and weighing a mere 8.1oz, the mercurial vapor IV are built for increased acceleration in and out of quick turns. Direct-injected heel studs impact weight reduction.
