I once posted a video about the newest, lightest and fastest football shoes ever made by Nike known as Nike Mercurial Vapor IV. This boot is being wear by Cristiano Ronaldo, Aaron Lennon and many more footballers nowadays.
To celebrate the launched of their new product, Nike made a campaign known as “Who Is The Fastest With Nike Mercurial Vapor IV”. Nike’s staffs are travelling around the world to give us the chance to make a record with this boot, with and without ball.
Here are two Youtube Video featuring Aaron Lennon of Totenham Football Club and Gabby Agonbalahor from Aston Villa Football Club. For your information, there are non-professional footballers who are faster then these two English Premier League players. You can check the information here.
The football world is becoming more interesting with the introducement of one of the lightest ever made football shoes by Nike. One of the Vapor series, the Nike Mercurial Vapor IV is now being weared by one of the best footballer in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo. For your information, Ronaldo scored his first Premier League for Manchester United hatrick a month ago while wearing this new Nike boot.
2 weeks after that, Ronaldo scored one of the most beautiful free kick ever as said by his manager, Sir Alex Ferguson. With lightning pace, Ronaldo gazed the field showing off his dribbling skill. It seems that with his new football shoes, he is faster than before. Since wearing it, most of Manchester United opponent has been romped with the boy who is wearing the new Nike football shoes.
In one of a commercial for promoting the boot, Cristiano Ronaldo is shown racing with Bugatti Veyron, one of the fastest car in the world. And guess what, Ronaldo did win the race because he is using the Nike Mercurial Vapor IV during that test. Can you believe that he is faster than a car? Of course the whole thing of the commercial to make you believe with wearing the football shoes you can be the world fastest man.
Mungkinkah ini rahsia kehebatan Cristiano Ronaldo selama ini? Kasut bola terbaru ini ternyata sangat ringan, memudahkan kawalan bola dan mungkin juga menambahkan lagi kehebatan pemain-pemain yang memakainya. Malah ‘free kick’ Ronaldo yang jarang-jarang melepasi benteng kini sudah mula menemui jaring gol sejak dia memakai boot ini. Rembatanya juga makin padu dengan hampir kesemuanya menerjah masuk ke gawang pihak lawan.
Untuk pemain bola sepak amatur seperti kita, kebanyakannya hanya membuat pilihan antara Adidas dan Nike semasa ingin membeli boot baru. Adidas semestinya terkenal dengan koleksi Predatornya yang nampak gagah dan tahan lasak. Manakala Nike dengan koleksi Vapornya yang mementingkan keringanan boot itu sendiri. Walaupun Adidas kini jarang mengeluarkan model terbarunya, boleh dikatakan Adidas memiliki peminat setianya tersendiri yang tetap memilih untuk kekal dengan Predator.
Saya sendiri pernah membeli boot Nike Vapor(yang pernah dipakai oleh Ronaldo Brazil semasa World Cup). Ternyata memang ringan dan tak terasa langsung seperti kita memakai kasut bola. Seolah-olah seperti bermain dengan kaki ayam. Namun salah satu kekurangannya ialah kurangnya keupayaan kasut tersebut untuk menghalang kecederaan apabila dibentes oleh pihak lawan. Malah masa awal-awal memakai kasut tersebut, bengkak juga ibu jari disebabkan hujung kasut yang terlalu kecil.
