Over the past several years, players have pleaded for the rerelease of one of the most influential boots ever released, the original Nike Mercurial Vapor. Well, Nike listened and found a way fans a taste of what they craved. What Nike basically did was take the Vapor IX and given it an old-school overhaul. With the original Mercurial Vapor, Nike used several different materials to piece the boots together but with this limited edition version, the upper is completely one piece and the soleplate has undergone the speed treatment. The actual colors used are very similar, with Nike choosing to only update the Yellow seen on the 1998 release to a more modern Volt. Needless to say, these boots sold out in record time!

Nice post. I think RVP's boots are the best because they are unique to him only and you can't even find that anywhere. It is not like they were made for a special occasion, he wears them all the time.
By the way, have anyone noticed Brandon Marshal from the Chicago bears wearing hyper venom during the Thursday night game? Maybe you guys can write a post about NFL players wearing soccer shoes. I know mostly will be kickers and punters but it might nice to know who wears soccer cleats.
I agree, I have seen more Nike id and great colorways on display from NFL kickers and punters, than I have seen all year from professional soccer.
