Product: Nike Mercurial SL Firm Ground Football Boots - Black/ Cherry-Black

Description:
"Boot Profile – A professional/elite level football boot for the footballer looking for the most up to date technologies on the market.

This is the world’s first carbon fibre football boot, the Nike Mercurial SL.

Nike say it’s the most lightweight and innovative football boot ever produced. Highly responsive, flexible yet strong, it is a boot that delivers maximum performance and competitive advantage and weights only 180 grams.

Originally intended for professional players only, the Mercurial SL was initially designed in the style of a concept car: to lead innovation, to drive new ideas, to push the boundaries in design and engineering.

The three-year long development process of the boot covered four continents and involved work with some of the best craftsmen and expert partners in boot development and engineering, each chosen for their expertise in the field. Using carbon fibre was at the core of that development process.

Speaking of the boot Didier Drogba said” The new Mercurial SL defines the next level of football boots - it is like nothing I have ever seen before and I’m very excited to be one of the first players to wear this boot.”

Cristiano Ronaldo said: “Speed and acceleration are essential to my game; one second can be the difference between winning or losing. This Mercurial SL boot is designed to provide the next level of speed.”
