Nike Mercurial Vapor SL Cleats

It used to be that the best soccer cleats featured filthy-soft leather uppers. Not any more. The Cristiano Ronaldo-approved Nike Mercurial Vapor SL Firm Ground Soccer Cleats ($400) are made almost entirely from carbon fiber, from the molded carbon fiber upper to the seven-layer outsole plate made from carbon composite interwoven with TPU and polyurethane. If you're looking for the world's most advanced boot, this is it.
