Nike Mercurial Vapor IV Citron FG *Defect*
Unused, but not suitable for play, collection only. Sole Plate is cracked, and major peeling along the sock liner, see last 2 pics
The Upper:
-
The Vapor IV became an instant favorite with the two tone, simplistic upper style
-
As worn by CR7 in his first spell at United, in this colorway!
-
A larger Nike swoosh was used on the boots in coordination with the famous lace cover
-
The super lightweight synthetic upper made these the lightest speed boots by Nike
The Sole Plate:
-
A nearly identical sole plate was used from the Mercurial Vapor III model
-
Quite a few players preferred the new soleplate including Drogba, Arshavin, and Zlatan
Notes and Comments:
-
The Vapor IV has such a simple yet effective design that had a lasting impression
-
Everyone and their brother either had a pair or remembers all the pros rocking them back in the day
