The Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly & Vapor V were the fifth incarnation of the Nike Mercurial line and the first of the Superfly line. The Mercurial Vapor Superfly marked the first time a boot was made using Nike Flywire technology, while the Vapor V followed the use of a lace cover like its immediate predecessor. The boot was launched by Cristiano Ronaldo at Old Trafford in Manchester on 26 February 2009. It was debuted during the 2008–09 UEFA Champions League knockout stage a match between Manchester United and Internazionale by Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimović. The following weekend, players across the world also debuted the boots (notably Robinho, Theo Walcott, Alexandre Pato and Daniel Alves).
