Nike's Mercurial Vapor Super Lite
I think that these shoes are a great design because they have absolutely no competition. The two shoes together only weigh 190g, when we compare this to a "normal" modern pair of football shoes weighs at least 200g. Meaning the Nike's Mercurial Vapor Super Lite are more than a half lighter than the others shoes. The only reason this shoe exists is because of the company Nike. They wanted to do something like a concept car with a shoe, calling it a concept shoe. This was the shoe; it's made of carbon, and was developed over three whole years with the best designers and craftsman of boot designing today. This is the most developed football boot in the world. It is extremely flexible, and yet very strong. The plate of the shoe was created in Germany, and is seven layered and made of carbon composite material interwoven with TPU and polyurethane. This was done to make the shoe flexible, and still very light, and strong. The foot is closer to the grass than ever before which gives the player a better precision when working with and without the ball. In addition the shoe has reinforcing ads to support the foot during all kinds of kicks, especially the toe kick. The sole was completed in Korea, where the cleats and stud tips were injection molded on to the plate, which then makes the sole one single piece. In Montebulluna, Italy at Nike's Research Center, expert engineers created the best so far known process to make carbon soft, and still leave it so strong. In this shoe we see the principle of form follows function being followed. The black, natural color of the shoe was left, and only the pink Nike stripe added for people to recognize what company the shoe was made by. Christian Ronaldo debuted this shoe in Champions League final 2008 in Moscow, and won the title with his team, Manchester United.
