Nike Mercurial Vapor SL Shoes

Nike is no stranger to designing lightweight footwear. An old pair of Air Mercurial Vapor IVs I used to own were the lightest shoes I had ever touched on this planet. Now Nike is telling me that I’m an idiot and that these $400 Mercurial Vapor SL (”Super Lite”) shoes are the next generation of Nike. Designed for soccer, these shoes weigh a total of 190 grams and are made up of some material called Tepex that’s normally used in aerospace engineering. 190 grams! That’s less then the amount of weed you have stashed in your closet!
Unfortunately, coolness comes at a price; Nike only made 2508 pairs of these so you’ll have to do some serious searching or spend over $1000 on eBay. Ouch. After the jump, more sweet pic-age.
