Answer 1

It is super light therfore making you run faster b/c you cont have heavy shoes.

Answer 2

The Nike Mercurial Vapor SL was created with no limit on money and time. Carbon fibre is very expensive but has attributes such as high stength/weight ratio making it very light, and barely any thermal expansion. It is also very flexible, yet strong.The main reason for the carbon fibre is weight reduction (SL stands for Super light). The weighs only 210g each.
