Few football boot releases set collective tongues wagging like a new Mercurial, and were definitely finding the new Nike Mercurial Vapor IX a drool-worthy addition to the legacy.

Having just snagged a pair of the new Neptune Blue / Volt/ Tidepool colourway, we broke out the camera to give them the full video treatment and show off some of what the new Vapor IX has to offer.

Following in the footsteps of the widely-lauded Vapor VIII is no easy task for Nike, but despite using many of the features of the previous incarnation on their latest model, the Swoosh have managed to carve out a unique identity for the IX with some nifty design.

A space age-looking new upper and dual-density traction plate are just two of the new performance updates to Nikes signature speed football boots see how they, and everything else new on the Nike Mercurial Vapor IX stack up to their predecessor in our exclusive video hands-on and first impressions.
