BE FAST. BE MERCURIAL.

The Nike Mercurial Vapor IX CR Men's Firm-Ground Football Boot delivers high-speed control and lightweight explosiveness on the pitch. From the glove-like fit to the textured upper, every element is designed for elite-level play at top speeds.

All Conditions Control

All Conditions Control (ACC) technology provides optimal ball control in wet or dry conditions.

High-Speed Upper

The soft, textured upper moulds to the foot for a responsive fit and high-speed control. Allover microgrooves reduce air resistance and enhance touch on the ball.

Ultimate Traction

Direct-inject blades cut through the pitch's surface for exceptional traction and explosive speed in any direction. The asymmetric Vapor traction pattern allows for instant acceleration and quick turns. The forefoot grip zone, inspired by track spikes, provides toe-off traction for extra bursts of speed, and a midfoot stud enhances acceleration and support for full-speed sprints.

Support and Stability

The Mercurial Vapor IX features a full-length chassis combining two layers of glass-fibre composite that helps transfer energy directly to the studs, reducing pressure on the foot while adding support and stability.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Rarely do prodigies exceed their overwhelming expectations. A prolific winner and record-setter at every level, Cristiano Ronaldo is an obvious exception. From his first pro contract at age 10 to multiple Player of the Year honours, Ronaldo has dominated the world's biggest stages with speed, savvy and a scorer's touch.
